  • Plans and the near future with ir + a + infinitivovoy a comprar pan
  • Sizes, colours and quantities at a Spanish supermarket
  • Getting what you need at a pharmacy without a prescription

Why it matters

This module covers everything a normal Spanish day throws at you outside a restaurant: the corner supermarket, the pharmacy, the clothes shop where you want that one, not this one, the green one. These are the small interactions that quietly switch back to English the moment you hesitate. Object pronouns are the real prize — without them you sound like a beginner, with them you sound local.

Before you start

Module 6 — regular -er and -ir verbs, the gustar pattern, ordering at a bar.
