Mini-dialogue

¿Lo quieres blando o duro?

Prefiero el blando.

Try this in conversation: “¿Lo quieres blando o duro?” — “Would you like the soft or the hard one?” Read the mini-dialogue aloud, change one detail and answer in your own words.

Try it yourself

Compare blando and duro, then ask a polite question while choosing a gift. Explain who the sweet is for.
