🎸 Guitar lessons

Hola 👋

Let’s use our Spanish to follow the conversation of a mother and her son for learning to play the guitar!

Answers:

1. tocar la guitarra (play the guitar)

2. prometer (to promise)

Explanation:

1. tocar la guitarra

   "Tocar la guitarra" means playing the guitar. This phrase is used when someone is talking about their musical activities, learning how to play, or performing songs on the guitar. The verb “tocar” (which literally means “to touch”) is also used for other kinds of instruments, for example “tocar el piano”. Be careful not to literally translate “playing an instrument” from English to Spanish, because in Spanish you cannot say “jugar (→ “play”) un instrumento”!

2. prometer

   "Prometer" means “to promise”, and assures someone that you will do something. It's like making a promise to carry out a specific action or behave in a certain way in the future. This word is often used in everyday conversations when committing to do things, big or small.

   An alternative could be “comprometerse" (to commit), which is a bit stronger and usually implies a more serious or formal commitment to an action or principle. So in the case here, when the son is promising his mother to continue with the lessons, he could also say “Me compremeto” (→ “I commit”).
