En el hotel:
You've arrived in your Spanish-speaking country and have checked into your hotel/hostel. After settling in, you send a voicemail to your family/friends back home telling them about where you are staying.

Use class time to plan out what you want to say. Try to write your sentences in Spanish using what you know instead of writing them in English and translating. You should record yourself at home tonight or tomorrow.
