Today’s dialog
留学中の学生シホは、アルゼンチンからの留学生カルロスとお茶を飲んでいます。
Shiho: Carlos, I’m nervous about the English test tomorrow. We have to write an essay, right?
Carlos: Yes. Don’t worry. The teacher said, “You may use a dictionary during the test.”
Shiho: That’s good. I’m not so confident about my spelling sometimes.
Carlos: Me neither. English isn’t like Spanish, my native language.
Shiho: Oh, of course. You’re from Argentina, so your mother tongue is Spanish.
Carlos: Yes, although our Spanish is a little different from that of other Spanish-speaking countries.
