| 1 | Welcome to this lesson! Today, we will go over words pertaining to autumn season and some phrases you can use to describe the weather, months, and holidays that take place during this time. | Teacher | |
| 2 | Before we go into the dialogue, let's go over some new vocabulary. "Muy" means "very." Additionally, "de" plus "el" is shortened to "del." Lastly, "va ha" is a helping verb. | Teacher | |
| 3 | In this conversation, a mother and daughter discuss how cold it is, given the time of year. | Teacher | |
| 4 | ¡Tengo frío!
| Hija | |
| 5 | If this were translated directly to English, it would read "I have cold", but it is correctly translated as, "I'm cold!" Now say it again with her: | Teacher | |
| 6 | Como quisiera el calor del verano persistente, pero no paso así este ańo. Es una noche muy fría. | Hija | |
| 7 | The mother agrees by replying: | Teacher | |
| 8 | Como quisiera el calor del verano persistente, pero no paso así este ańo. Es una noche muy fría. | Mama | |

| 13 | This means, "Yes, mom, and it is only September." Now say it with her: | Teacher | |
| 14 | Si, mami, y solamente es septiembre. | Hija | |
| 15 | Now the mother begins to wonder how cold it'll be when Thanksgiving comes around: | Teacher | |
| 16 | Imagínate como va estar de frío en noviembre para día de acción de gracias. | Mama | |
| 17 | Remember "día de acción de gracias" from our vocabulary? Mama is saying, "Imagine how cold it'll be in November for Thanksgiving Day." Now say it with her | Teacher | |
| 18 | Imagínate como va estar de frío en noviembre para día de acción de gracias. | Mama | |
| 19 | Next, the daughter says: | Teacher | |
| 20 | Pero el pav va estar bien caliente. | Hija | |
| 21 | Did you figure out what "pav" means? If you guessed turkey, you guessed right! | Teacher | |
| 22 | The daughter said, "But the turkey will be hot." Say it again with her: | Teacher | |
| 23 | Pero el pav va estar bien caliente. | Hija | |
| 24 | Thinking about Halloween, the mother asks: | Teacher | |
