5Mentioning the source of the information: Parrot app
Product placement
Parrot (app): used to learn Spanish. It ACTS because the creator learned Spanish from it, and the creator's bio link leads to it. Removing it would change the context of how the creator learned Spanish. Parrot app watermark appears on the bio link, which is incidental.
On-screen text
In case your Spanish
teacher didn't tell you...
When ordering
"Puedo tener..?"
isn't really used and
is a huge indicator
that you're a beginner!!
Instead, use:
"Me das...?" - translates to
"You give me.." but isn't
as impolite in Spanish
as it's English translation
OR
"Me podrías traer...?"
translates to
"Could you bring me..?"
