Hey Von
ReplyDeleteYou did a amazing job on translating these phrases into Spanish. Keep it up!

Hi Von! I agree with Daniel. I can see that you have not only translated them once but you've also included a phonetic version so that we know how to pronounce them as well.
DeleteIf you want to hear these phrases spoken by a Spanish speaker you can always use a special website called 'Forvo' (https://forvo.com/). You simply type the word or phrase that you want to learn how to say into the search bar and a voice will read out the phrase in perfect Spanish.
It's really handy! Feel free to give it a try.
