Conversación Real - Keeping a Conversation Alive

Keep a real conversation going with fillers, clarifications and Castilian slang

What you'll learn

  • The muletillas that buy you thinking time — pues, bueno, o sea, en plan, vale, claro
  • Asking for clarification without stalling the conversation — ¿cómo dices?, ¿me lo repites?
  • Castilian slang you'll hear in any Madrid café: tío, guay, mola, currar, qué fuerte
  • Holding a ten-minute unscripted conversation across past, present and future
  • Recovering when you miss a word or get the gender wrong

Why it matters

The first fourteen modules gave you the grammar to say anything you need at B1. This one gives you the social glue that keeps you in a conversation when you're not perfect — which you never will be, in any language. Real conversations run on filler words, reactions, and the willingness to push through a misunderstanding without panicking.

The grammar load here is close to zero. The work is performance: the small gestures that make a Spanish speaker feel they don't have to slow down for you.

Before you start

Modules 1 to 14 — every tense, both moods, and the willingness to be wrong out loud.
