Alex [English]: We finally landed in Medellin! But look at that immigration line. It is massive. 002. Vale [Spanish]: ¡Sí, Alex! Bienvenidos a Medellín. Pero concéntrate, que ya casi es nuestro turno en migración. 003. Alex [English]: Buenas tardes / bweh-nahs tar-dehs / good afternoon - is my opening move. It is polite, respectful, and safe. 004. Vale [Spanish]: Exacto. Es muy importante saludar con respeto a las autoridades. 005. Alex [English]: Respect is my middle name. What do I say when the officer asks why I am here? 006. Vale [Spanish]: Tienes que decir: vengo de turismo. 007. Alex [English]: Vengo de turismo / behn-go deh too-rees-moh / I'm here for tourism - I am here for tourism. That is simple, honest, and exactly what my visa says. 008. Vale [Spanish]: Muy bien. Pronuncias súper claro. Y si te presentas, puedes usar otra frase clásica. 009. Alex [English]: Is it nice to meet you? 010. Vale [Spanish]: ¡Sí! Mucho gusto es perfecto. 011. Alex [English]: Mucho gusto / moo-choh goos-toh / nice to meet you - It is a classic way to start off on the right foot. 012. Vale [Spanish]: Excelente. Pero recuerda, nada de usar jerga informal con el oficial, ¿listo? 013. Alex [English]: No casual slang? No friendly local greetings? 014. Vale [Spanish]: ¡Por favor, no! Con el Oficial Peña hay que ser muy formal. Si cometes un error, dices: qué pena. 015. Alex [English]: Qué pena / keh peh-nah / excuse me / I'm sorry - Excuse me or sorry. It is like the ultimate Colombian safety net when things go wrong. 016. Vale [Spanish]: Totalmente. Qué pena te salva de cualquier malentendido. 017. Alex [English]: And if the officer is helpful, what is a polite way to say you are welcome? 018. Vale [Spanish]: Puedes responder: con gusto. 019. Alex [English]: Con gusto / kon goos-toh / with pleasure / you're welcome - With pleasure. It sounds so much warmer than a dry textbook response. 020. Vale [Spanish]: Sí, a los colombianos nos encanta usarla. Es muy amable. 021. Alex [English]: What about when I hand over my passport? Is there a polite phrase for here you go? 022. Vale [Spanish]: Sí, claro. Dices: aquí tiene. 023. Alex [English]: Aquí tiene / ah-kee tyee-neh / here you go / here it is - Here you go. I will hand over my passport with a confident smile. 024. Vale [Spanish]: Perfecto. Sin movimientos bruscos, mijo. Solo mantén la calma. 025. Alex [English]: Why are you looking at me like I am about to trigger a security alert? 026. Vale [Spanish]: Porque te conozco, Alex. Te pones nervioso y empiezas a traducir literalmente en tu cabeza. 027. Alex [English]: I do not translate literally. I practiced this in my room for hours. 028. Vale [Spanish]: ¿Ah, sí? ¿Y cómo dices: I am staying for ninety days? 029. Alex [English]: Me quedo por / meh keh-doh por / I am staying for... - and then I just add the number of days. 030. Vale [Spanish]: Exacto. Y noventa días es el límite normal de turismo. 031. Alex [English]: Noventa días / noh-behn-tah dee-ahs / ninety days - Three months of incredible coffee and zero stress. 032. Vale [Spanish]: Así es. Pero mira, ya el Oficial Peña nos está mirando. Te toca. 033. Alex [English]: My heart is pounding like a drum. Here goes nothing. 034. Vale [Spanish]: Tranquilo. Yo voy al cubículo de al lado. ¡Suerte, mijo! 035. Alex [English]: I have got this. Just stay calm and remember the basics. 036. Oficial Peña [Spanish]: Siguiente. Pasaporte, por favor. 037. Alex [English]: Aquí tiene / ah-kee tyee-neh / here you go - Officer. My passport is ready. 038. Oficial Peña [Spanish]: Buenas tardes. ¿Cuál es el motivo de su visita a Colombia? 039. Alex [English]: Vengo de turismo / behn-go deh too-rees-moh / I'm here for tourism - I am here for tourism. I want to visit the mountains. 040. Oficial Peña [Spanish]: Entiendo. ¿Y en dónde se va a hospedar durante su estadía? 041. Alex [English]: Qué pena / keh peh-nah / excuse me / sorry - Excuse me, but could you repeat that? I didn't catch the last word. 042. Oficial Peña [Spanish]: La dirección. ¿Tiene la dirección exacta de su alojamiento? 043. Alex [English]: Oh, right! The address is on my phone... wait, my phone is completely dead. 044. Oficial Peña [Spanish]: ¿No ti [Transcript truncated by YouTube limit] #LearnSpanish #SpanishEnglish #EnglishSubtitles #MedellinTravel #A1Spanish #ColombianSpanish #SpanishListening #Ha
