Mini-dialogue

¿La prefieres con cebolla o sin cebolla?

Para mí, con cebolla.

Try this in conversation: “¿La prefieres con cebolla o sin cebolla?” — “Do you prefer it with onion or without?” Read the mini-dialogue aloud, change one detail and answer in your own words.

Try it yourself

Order one portion and a drink. Ask your partner about their taste, then swap roles.
