Alpargatas are lightweight shoes with a textile upper and a sole made from plant fibres. A familiar object introduces useful everyday vocabulary.
Mini-dialogue
¿Tienen estas alpargatas en mi talla?
Vamos a comprobarlo.
Try this in conversation: “¿Tienen estas alpargatas en mi talla?” — “Do you have these espadrilles in my size?” Read the mini-dialogue aloud, change one detail and answer in your own words.
Try it yourself
Role-play buying shoes. Give your size, choose a colour and politely ask to try another pair.
