Lesson Overview: Address and Contact Details
This lesson introduces you to essential vocabulary and expressions related to addresses and contact information in Spanish. It's designed for beginner learners (A1 level) and covers practical language skills you can use when exchanging personal information, working in an office, or filling out forms.
Key Vocabulary and Expressions
- Datos de contacto personal (Personal contact details): el móvil (mobile phone), el correo electrónico (email), el número de teléfono (phone number), la dirección electrónica (email address), la arroba (@ symbol)
- Dirección física (Physical address parts): la calle (street), la avenida (avenue), el código postal (postal code), el lugar de nacimiento (place of birth)
Grammar Focus
The lesson focuses on the present indicative tense of regular verbs, particularly the verb contactar (to contact), and introduces the zero conditional to talk about facts and routine actions (e.g., "Si escribes la arroba en el correo electrónico, el email es válido.").
Practical Dialogues
You will practice real-life conversations like:
- Asking for and giving office addresses and contact details
- Exchanging contact information after meetings
- Confirming addresses for sending documents
Examples from dialogues include:
"¿Dónde está la oficina principal de la empresa?"
"Está en la Calle Mayor, número 45."
"¿Tiene un correo electrónico para contactarlos?"
"Sí, contacte con nosotros en info@empresa.com."
Useful Phrases
- ¿Me das tu número de teléfono, por favor? (Can you give me your phone number, please?)
- Contactamos por teléfono cuando tenemos una duda. (We contact by phone when we have a question.)
- Mi dirección es calle Mayor, número 15, código postal 28013. (My address is Calle Mayor, number 15, postal code 28013.)
Important Notes on Language Differences
In Spanish, the structure of addresses and contact details can differ from English. For example, the street is named first followed by the number (calle Mayor, número 15). Also, telephone contact expressions often include "contactar" plus the preposition "con" (contactar con), which does not have a direct one-to-one equivalent in English but usually translates as "to contact." For writing email addresses, the symbol "@" is called "la arroba", an essential term when providing electronic contact info.
Summary
By studying this lesson, you will learn how to give and ask for contact information and addresses naturally in Spanish. You will build confidence in using regular verbs in the present tense and become familiar with practical phrases that are useful in both social and professional contexts.
