Where do you live? ¿En donde viven?




Today, we are going to explore where we live. For many years, I lived in a building. In recent years, I live in a house. Sometimes I had to use the elevator full of people on my way to the apartment and not much to say. So, I started to greet a few I have seen on my floor and in few days we knew something about each other. If you live in an apartment then the following vocabulary will be useful if like me you are surrounded by strangers:

SPANISH
ENGLISH
Buenos días
Buenas tardes
Buenas noches



 
Good morning
Good afternoon
Good night
¿En qué piso vive?


Which floor do you live at?

Yo vivo en el cuarto piso.

I live in the 4th floor.

¿Usa el ascensor o las escaleras?

A veces subo en ascensor y a veces por las escaleras.




Sometimes I go up on the elevator and sometimes using the stairs.
¿En qué apartamento vive?
