If you say "¿Cuá ndo es la última llamada? They probably will ask you (very surprised!)"..W hom do you want to call?" "Una llamada" is a telephone call in Spanish...LOL. Another literal translation that does not work. I guess you can ask "¿A qué hora dejan de servir bebidas?" or simply "¿A qué hora cierran el bar?" because the "last call" is a concept more foreign than really Hispanic. Many written accents are also missing in these videos. Good idea and nice teacher, if you work on it with natives though. Buena suerte.

Good idea, but I'm a native and many of the sentences are not correct, they are translated literally from English, THIS IS NOT SPANISH. For instance you cannot use "TENER" to express "to have something to drink/eat", you would use "TOMAR", and in this case as well, the translations provided by the comments below such as "¿Me puede dar un vaso de agua?" or "Quiero un vodka y un Redbull" are the correct ones. We translate ideas,not words literally, literal translation does not work. Great idea but it should be perfected by using native speakers as reference. As the comments say, nobody speaks like in the video, but they will understand that you are a foreigner and charge you more if they can!!:-) Buena suerte y gracias por el esfuerzo.I haven't watched the other videos but I guess they will be pretty much the same.If you work on it and make sure you stay away from the Spanglish,which is easy to confuse if you grew in a English-speaking country, and use

Coincido con Pedro. Hay algunas frases que no estan bien dichas. Estan traducidas directamente del ingles y nadie habla asi aqui, pero te entenderan, te trataran de guiri y seguro te cobraran el doble si pueden, pero te entenderan. Saludos .

Disculpa pero las frases están muy mal hechas, nadie habla así en un bar... ¿el español no es tu idioma natal o si?: Correciones: - ¿Que tipos de cerveza tienen? - ¿Hay descuento para estudiantes? - Quiero un vodka y una Redbull - ¿Me puede dar un vaso de agua? - Si, puede ver mi licencia de conducir - Busquemos un lugar para sentarnos ¿Por que cuando intentan pronunciar español hablan tan entrecortado?
