- Learn how to go shopping in Spanish. We’ll cover how to ask if you can try something on, the most important phrases for making a purchase, and how to handle some confusing situations. You’ll learn all of this and more in the context of real-world situations while shopping at stores in Mexico.
In the first section, May goes into a store just to look around and finds a blouse she likes. In this first conversation, you’ll learn phrases you can use when you are just browsing a store and how to ask about trying things on and fitting rooms.
Next, May is looking for two identical dresses. She finds the dresses after going through the different options at the store and buys them. In this section, you’ll hear all the most important phrases for making a purchase from the moment to go into the store until you are paying for your items.
In the last section, we talk about confusing situations that tripped Jim up when he was first learning Spanish. We go over the phrases and give you tips on how you can get yourself out of any confusing situation while shopping in Spanish.

Good
This is the most useful Spanish learning channel I have found on TH-cam. you guys are awesome!
Thanks you so much for your words!
Comments like yours is what keeps us going!
Check out Butterfly Spanish too! 👍
*My family LOVES this videos, you teach us many great things in spanish, keep these videos ups!*
"Scam" lmao. This was made in a very unique way. I appreciate the real world application and style.
Este video me ayuda mucho, especialmente desde la perspectiva de los empleados. Trabajo en una tienda que a veces tiene clientes que no hablan inglés, pero normalmente estoy demasiado nerviosa para ofrecer ayuda en español. ¡Estoy empezando a obtener la confianza que necesito! Excelentes videos, gracias.
¡Muchas gracias por vernos, Renden!
Hablar con extraños en otra lengua puede parecer dificil pero sólo piensa que tal vez nunca los vas a volver a ver en tu vida. :p Eso me ayudó mucho cuando llegué a vivir a EEUU y comencé a trabajar en una tienda también.
¡Sígue practicando y verás que la confianza llegará rápido!
Saludos.
What?!! Your spanish is really good.
Me, too! I'm also too afraid to offer help to customers in Spanish! It might lead to a conversation that I can't understand!😁. But I am so happy I could read this post without help of my dictionary! Thanks, May and Jim! Progress!
It’s good that I can read this entire paragraph without translation now 😁
I love these courses hosted by Jim and May. Just what I've been looking for. My Spanish is growing by leaps and bounds.
Love these videos!! I’m in Playa Del Carmen with my family now and these videos have been a huge help! My Spanish has gotten so much better between watching these videos to get started and then interacting with local native speakers. Muchas gracias Jim and May!! 👍🏼🌴🇲🇽
Geez! That was the best way of teaching! Using "Spanglish" ...both accents are shown!
that was really cool, gracias!
Thanks for watching! Let us know if there are any other topics you would like to see us cover. Un saludo. -Jim
como siempre, muy útil!!!
I recently discovered you guys channel and I love it so far. It's very helpful!!☺👍🏾
I consider myself an advanced "beginner" and the English sections are a big help as are the repeated Spanish phrases.
Just a suggestion: would you make videos about going to rent rooms, houses, apartments, etc? Those videos would be sooooo successful. We need information. thank you, good luck
That's a great idea, Maud! We'll jot that down for our future episode ideas. Thanks for watching! -Jim
These videos are SO helpful! Gracias !
You guys are doing a great job! Keep it up!
Thanks guys! Right back at you! ¡Saludos desde México! 😊 -Jim
I really like your videos. I'm new to learning Spanish. May is easy to understand. I like the breakdown sections. Every time I can understand more. I also like the video about ordering food. Keep up the good work!
You guys are so cute together!! I’m so glad I stumbled across your channel! My Spanish is terrible and I struggle every time we go to Mexico! I’m hoping to learn finally and I’m using duolingo and watching your videos! I just ordered a book you recommended in another video! Wish me luck ❤️
Thank you! We’re so glad you found us. We appreciate your support. Keep practicing! And please let us know if there are any topics you’d like us to cover in a future video. ¡Saludos! -Jim
Great job! Native speakers help me a lot to learn to talk the language.
You guys are the best! Such informative videos! God Bless!
🙏🏻 Thank you for watching! We have much more to come soon. -Jim
Second time that I am repasando these practical videos! They are really really helpful and the materials in your website is very well organized and very logical. Best spanish learning resouces I have ever come across! Thank you guys so much! Greetings from China!
Thank you. My London lockdown task - to learn Spanish. Just found your channel and can now put some of the vocab I have learned into senteces. Gracias amigos.
Absolutely brilliant!! Thank you both very much!!!
Fantastic work guys! Very well laid out
This was so helpful, muchas gracias :)
Ah! I just love the way u both speak Spanish, thank u for this information 😊
I work in retail and hear these a lot but never really understood .. also I just moved to Mexico a while back and learning languages is not easy for me ... I want to learn so I can have a better shopping experience at work and when I go shopping myself. Also I hate having to ask friends or family to translate for me when I am shopping. Thanks!
Same. I work in retail and I really want to be able to communicate better with my customers. That's how I found this video was searching "retail spanish".
I written down everything you said so I can remember! Probably going to be useful.
Very useful video. Thank you so much.
i like how you all break it down
Muy buen curso de español. Me recueda cuando aprendí frances, donde recreaban situaciones similares, pero era sólo un libro, y esto es mucho mas vívido.
Please do more videos ! They are really good !
We are working on it.
Thanks guys Solomon from asmera,Eritrea god bless you guys
Thank you, Salomon for commenting and watching!
We hope you have a great day.
Genial video, gracias 🌹
¡Gracias por vernos! Saludos. -Jim 😊
Me gusta mucho este video.
It's OK if you guys think rounding up your check is a scam. Many people do. You should have explained the reason behind this, though. And no, it's not "so you don't have to carry all that small change in your pocket". It's actually to donate it to a good cause. And it usually goes to a certified NGO.
you guys should explain the reason behind masculine and feminine so we can make the sentences by our own
I'm wondering why did it took me so long to find this channel. You guys are amazing. Can you do one for shopping at the market/supermarket please? If you've already done that please share the link. Thanks in advance!
¡Bienvenida! We’re glad you found us! Yes, we do have a supermarket video. You can check it out here: th-cam.com/video/RU1m5Oa6oNo/w-d-xo.html
@@SpanishandGo gracias!
thanks for putting english subtitles.

Great videos! Thank you so much! I wish I had found out about you earlier (just saw you on Erin's travels). Mucho gusto!
¡Hola!

Thanks guys
👍👍I need this Gracias!
¡Gracias por vernos, Floren!
:)
i work retail and today i had a customer who spoke very little english, which made me realize just how bad my spanish is 😂 this was super helpful. id much rather be able to meet people half way- its a hell of a lot easier to understand a 2nd language than it is to actually speak it in my experience, which seems to hold true for native spanish speakers who are learning english (from what i can tell ofc, native spanish speakers feel free to correct me)
Thank you!!
Este vídeo es muy interesante y útil para todo el mundo me gusta mucho. Muchas gracias por os ayuda
Nos da mucho gusto saber que te ha gustado. Vienen más videos pronto. :)
¡Mil gracias por vernos y comentar!

Exelente video
A mí me gusta este vídeo!
¡Gracias por vernos, Ami!
Como termino viendo a las 5 de la mañana videos de como comprar en español cuando ya hablo español? xD
Oh, I love you guys! And it's Mexican!!
100% Mexican ;)
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Excelente video, muy útil, como siempre.
Para tallas a veces simplemente dicen "S" (chica), "M" (mediana") o "L" (large).
Y en algunas paises usan medirse como sinonimo de probar.
¡Tienes mucha razón, Rodney! Las tallas a veces vienen como "S", "M" o "L" en la ropa. Especialmente cuando es ropa que no está hecha en México.
Y en varios lugares también es común escuchar "medirse" en lugar de "probarse" en México. Depende de cada persona cuál palabra prefiere usar.
¡Muchas gracias por tu comentario y por checar el video! :)
I've always used "oír" for " to hear" rather than "escuchar" which I've always used for "to listen". Are they truly interchangeable?
I've heard of minimalist houses, kind of those houses where the low income Mexicans live in. I am a minimalist person and i would like to have mor information about that kind of housing, the rent per month, etc. Thank you, I will be following you
obsessed with your channel! I am learning Spanish and struggle when to use 'os' or 'vosotros' , what's the difference
super!
Thank you! Un saludo. -Jim
Soy japones.Quiero hablar el espanol y el i ngles. Este video me ayuda mucho para estadiar. Gracias.
hola,gracis
Muchas gracias amigos me gusta mucho ese vídeo . Por favor pueden hacer un vídeo de la diferencia entre español de España y de México.corriga me por favor . estoy seguiendo su consejos para aprender eso maravilloso idoma
¡Gracias a ti! 🙏 Si, lo haremos. Es un tema bastante interesante. ¡Agradecemos tu apoyo!
Las correcciones que querías:
*corríjanme: Because you are talking to both of us. :)
*suS consejos: Same here, it's not only Jim's or May's consejos.
*ese/este maravilloso idioma: Use 'ese' or 'este' when you have a masculine noun (in this case it's 'idioma'). Use 'eso' when you are not mentioning the noun. For example "¿Viste eso?" - Did you see that? or "No me gusta eso." - I don't like this.
Amigos. qué puedo decir están los mejores.Beuna suerte.
Hadjer Hope mil gracias! 🙏 😊
Super Bueno bien
Great explanation. How do you say keep the change? Understanding the amount they say is still a challenge! In the smaller stores you can't see it, the person just tells you the price and they say it FAST! Also, when you change your money they also want to give you large bills and as you said, taxi drivers, taco stands, fruit stores, little bodegas, and shops all want small bills since they don't have a lot of money to make change. How do I ask for lots of small denominations when exchanging money?
Thanks, Kim! You can say "quédate con el cambio" or "quédate con el vuelto" if you want to let them know before they try to hand anything back to you. You can also say "así está bien" and motion with your hand that you don't want to accept what they're trying to hand you back. It roughly translates to "that's fine." The gesture makes it clear that you're referring to the change. To request smaller bills, you can say "¿me puedes dar billetes más puequeños, por favor?" I hope that helps! Thanks for watching. -Jim
@@SpanishandGo Very helpful Jim, thanks! I am in Tulum until October and have food and groceries delivered, as well as use taxis.. so I will try and practice those phrases and see how it goes!
This place looks pretty familiar. De compras en el andador constitución?
This reminds me of September 7th, 1941, on a cool Sunday Morning in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii
Its fun it keeps me away from the usual way of learning...I really hope pwedo aprender mas with a native speaker...what I have been learning from the net es todos en mi cabeza...I have no one to talk with.
Italki, Skype groups etc allows you to speak to native speakers.
¡Hola!
We try to stay away from teaching specific grammar and focus more on whole phrases you can learn and use in real life. Glad to know you find it fun!
You can try italki.com, that's where Jim and I met.
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Same! I am self learning Spanish. Pero mi mamaí o papaí can't speak Spanish. So I don't either
Can you do more video like this, please?
Yes! We are working on several like this one at the moment. Hopefully one about hotel reservations will be out today or tomorrow. We have a playlist of all of our videos like this one here: th-cam.com/play/PLihSonlo1OAYxFAqFWtS9SrWBIdXqpfri.html Thanks for watching! ¡Saludos desde Guanajuato! -Jim
Spanish and Go Great! Thanks and happy new year🎉🎉
@@deborahmichel2429 You're welcome! ¡Feliz Año Nuevo! -Jim
Would the size differ for medium depending on whether the item was masculine or feminine? In the case of the blusa (f), the size was mediana. For abrigo o vesitdo, would the size be mediano? Also, would mens' sizes use different terms? (at least for camisetas o playeras, which is what I would most likely purchase as a tourist.)
Extra grande - extra large 👌😂😂❤️
Soy solo media puertorriqueña y yo se poco español pero quiero lo se más español pa mi familia y mis amigos quien hablan español a veces.
I'm ready to be fluent in spanish so I can socialize with people between Spain 🇪🇸 & Latin America🇩🇴🇵🇷🇪🇨🇨🇺🇨🇷🇨🇴🇲🇽🇳🇮🇵🇦🇵🇪🇸🇻🇻🇪🇺🇾🇦🇷🇭🇳🇬🇹 my goal 2023 / 2024 improve my spanish I want to speak it fluently I'm ready for my Spanish
If you're a kid and watching this, never hesitate to copy their accents!
Are these terms appropiate to use in Latin America or Spain?
Este vídeo es muy útil! Pero tengo unas preguntas. Por qué dicen:
¿ ME l@ puedo probar?
¿ EN donde tiene probadores?
Sólo estoy VIENDO (¿mirando, no?), gracias.
No me gusta cómo se me VE.
ME voy a llevar... ME llevo ...
¿Son frases típicas para México?
Nos alegra que te gustó el video. Sí, son frases típicas en México. May es mexicana, y grabamos el video en México. ¡Gracias por vernos! -Jim
I am from Spain! It is curious how different Spanish from different countries can be since many of the sentences sound very weird for me hahaha
Fefes. B. Thanks yuub😂😊😊🍆🍆🍐🍈🍇🍎🍎🍇🍇🍎🍅dwesdee. B. Yetrf🍑🍉🍒🍑🍑🍑🍐🍑🍑🍑
How do you say these sentences in your region???
@@amirasebaoui2625 For example ''¿En donde están los probadores?'' I would say ''Donde están los probadores?'' this ''en'' sounds wrong for me; or ''Solo estoy viendo'' I would say ''Solo estoy mirando'', or I dont use the word ''manejar'' in this way haha things like these, but they are just differences between Spanish-speaking countries
@@irenevaldivia3050 thanks😊
Don't worry im mexican and your spain words confuse me a lot, sounds hilarious sometimes
you 2 look so good together! I wish I had a beautiful gf like her
no no no they are married yeah they are a married couple
Noun before the verb. How do we ask them to speak slower ? Mucho gracias.
Yo estoy prácticando English
Did the items have price tags in this store or were the prices negotiable? Did you make a video on negotiating prices? How do we know if a price is negotiable?
Thanks for watching! You can find out how and when to bargain in our blog post here: spanishandgo.com/learn/how-to-go-shopping-in-spanish
@@SpanishandGo thank you Jim and May. I wish I knew this before I visited Mexico in January. Great channel by the way.
@@rookiemaquillage Thank you! We appreciate your support. There's always next time. Un saludo. -Jim
It is great to hear May speaking normal Spanish in the store first, before she uses over-enunciated Spanish for the instruction. Too many instructors only use over-enunciated Spanish, which is not helpful.
Over-enunciated is good for beginners...like me. I couldn't understand her rapid conversation with the store clerk. It may seem foolish to you, but some of us are NEW to Spanish.
True. If I even hear English not pronounced the way I learned it I don't understand it. Hence. If your learning English. Learn from a real English person and not from one of your own. Grammar gives them away.
can you clarify the words for excuse me
1. the phrase you use to pass by
2. the phrase you use to express an apology
3.the phrase to get someone's attention;)
thanks ya'll
Have you heard pequeño instead of chico, cause i usually use pequeño
De donde eres Señor
What did the vendor say at 9:00 ?
“Quiere que le quite el precio, o así? Do you want me to take off the price tag, or leave it as is? -Jim
que onda amigos!
Aquí nomás. Trabajando en TH-cam. ¿Tú qué tal? :) -Jim
How much is the average income? How much is the cost of rent per month?
The average income in Mexico is around $10k USD. Housing costs vary depending on what type of house you rent. In rural Mexico, it's easy to find houses that cost $100/mo or less to rent. If you want a penthouse by the beach though it will cost much more than that. -Jim
We need new videos please.
Ctfu @ "scam-sneeze"!!!! Hahaahha
It's OK if he thinks that's a scam. Many people do. They should have explained the reason behind this, though. And no, it's not "so you don't have to carry all that small change in your pocket". It's actually to donate it to a good cause. It's usually a certified NGO.
Bolleta o factura? Número de DNI? I wish my Spanish teacher warned me about those questions in advance.
Otro preguntas:
¿Necesitas una bolsa?
¿Tienes cencillo? (I can't remember how it is spelt but it means "do you have change"
So interesting! What country were you visiting?
I have no idea what a DNI is! Hahahaha :V
And I have never heard the last one either.
Thanks for watching and commenting! :)
DNI is the Peruvian ID card, which confused me at first because I'm not Peruvian and I did not know what it was or used for. I was asked for my national ID card in Colombia too, by a police officer on the street. But I didn't have - it got a little bit heated - I thought maybe my broken spanish would have given away that I was not a native speaker, but I got a telling off anyway. Afterwards, I remembered I could have shown him a bank card (I don't walk around with my passport). Whilst in Bolivia too, I was asked for ID every time I purchased something. I think, from my appearance many people presumed I could have been a spanish speaker as I have dark hair, dark eyes, etc. Sometimes they get confused when I don't quite understand everything, or annoyed if I ask them to speak a little slower. It became quite a frustrating experience.
Oh no! :/
Don't feel bad, some people are just rude.
Remember, you speak two languages. Usually the people who are rude and impatient are the ones who only speak one. :p
And thanks for the clarification! Now we know what DNI is for when we visit Peru. :)
Spanish and Go Peruvian spanish Is quité clean sounding I find, the problem is that most people talk extremely fast and they don't use punctuation when they speak. All they have to do is.... Pause now and again. Whentheyjointwenty wordstogetherwithoutstoppingto catchabreathit'sacaseofnoentiendo. Bolivia wasn't as frustrating as they spoke just a little slower and allowed for pauses.
At 7:3o the phrase was "En que color lo quiere?" Why wasn't quieres used? as I am leaning spanish I thought quieres meant you
_Quiere_ is the usted (formal) form of "you want." It was used out of respect as is often the case for business owner wanting to show extra respect to their patrons. I hope that helps! You might be interested in watching this video about _tú_ vs _usted:_ th-cam.com/video/VZUhtgF4-nQ/w-d-xo.html

I am from India i want to leran Spanish
¡Hola! That's really cool that you want to learn Spanish! We are working on a lot more videos for you guys. And if you subscribe to our channel you'll get a notification everytime we post new videos. :)
“Soy de India, quiero aprender español”
"Este" como pronombre no lleva acento desde 2010. Se empeñaron los de la academia mexicana y todas las academias de ASALE lo quitaron. Usar "este" con acento es una falta de ortografía.
Some ppl actually disliked this
to anyone who wants practice spanish i can help you for free of course, in exchange you are gonna help me with english
¿Están casados?
Sí, estamos casados. :) -Jim
