Can AI teach me a new language?

¡Hola! Let's get started with today's practice. Since you're learning Spanish for travel, we'll focus on useful words and phrases that you can use during your trips.

Here are 8 useful words and phrases for you to learn:

1. La reserva (the reservation)
2. El hotel (the hotel)
3. La habitación (the room)
4. El baño (the bathroom)
5. La playa (the beach)
6. El restaurante (the restaurant)
7. La cuenta (the bill)
8. ¿Dónde está...? (where is...?)

Now, let's practice with a short exchange:

You're at a hotel, and you want to ask the receptionist where the beach is. I'll be the receptionist, and you can respond as the traveler.

Receptionist: Hola, ¿en qué puedo ayudarle?
(Hello, how can I help you?)

Please respond with a question, using one of the phrases we learned earlier.

After you respond, I'll give you a task to complete.
