Hey everyone, I know I haven't posted a chapter but I was struggling with finding time to write. I hope you enjoy this chapter and REVIEW!

Learning to Communicate

Rebecca's POV

It was the day before Mercedes' Coming Out Ball and Jesse had finally agreed to try and learn Spanish…again.

"Ok, so first you are going to want to know the basic's. Hola is hello. Adiós is goodbye. Cay you say those?" I said.

"Hola…adiós?" Jesse said.

"Yes! You got it!" I said.

"Awesome, I can talk in Spanish." Jesse said, with a huge smile.

"Well, you can say hello and goodbye, let's try asking a person's name. Now if you were to ask me what my name was you would say '¿Comó te llamas?'" I said.

"¿Comó te llamas?" Jesse said.

"Great…perfect. You should be glad you don't have to worry about the grammar. That is a lot more complicated. Ok, now if someone says that to you then you would reply 'Me llamo es Jesse.' Ok now I'm going to ask you what your name is and you reply. Okay?" I said.

"Ok. I can do that." Jesse said.

"¿Comó te llamas?" I said.

"Me llamo es Jesse." Jesse said.

"Excellent. Now I would say, 'mucho gusto' nice to meet you, or 'encantado' delighted to meet you. In return you would say either one of the above or 'igualmente' meaning same here. So let's do a whole conversation, I'll start." I said.

"Ok, let's go." Jesse said, excited.

"Hola, me llamo es Rebecca. ¿Comó te llamas?" I said, with ease.

"Me llamo es Jesse. Mucho Gusto." Jesse said, trying to be serious but ruined the last but by doing a funny voice.

"Igualmente. '¿Comó estás?' is what we are going to learn next. That means how are you. You could say that or '¿Qué tal?' meaning how's it going. You got that?" I said.

"Yea." Jesse said, taking mental notes.

"Ok, if I asked you one of the questions you could respond in many ways, but I'm only going to teach you three. 'Estoy bien, gracias' meaning I'm good, thank you. Oh by the way 'gracias' means please and 'por favor' means please. Back to what I was saying before, you could respond with 'más o menos', which means so-so. The final way you could respond is 'muy mal', which is very bad. Also in return you would say '¿Y tú?'. Do you want to try this much or do you want me to finish up with the basics?" I said.

"Just tell me the rest. You are probably going to have to help me anyways." Jesse said.

"Alrighty then. When you are saying goodbye besides saying 'adiós', you could say 'hasta luego'…see you later, 'tengo que irme'…I have to go, or the famous 'chao'. Do you think you are ready for a full conversation?" I said.

"Yea. Oh, then we could see Mercedes and I could talk to her!" Jesse said, with a bright face.

"We'll see. Okay you start." I said.

"Hola. Me llamo es Jesse. ¿Comó te llamas?" Jesse said.

"Hola, me llamo es Rebecca. Encantada." I said.

"Wait, I thought it was encantado." Jesse said.

"Well, for you it is because that is masculine, the 'a' is feminine." I said.

"Oh, igualmente. ¿Comó estás?" Jesse said, very well.

"Muy bien. ¿Y tú?" I said.

"Did you say very good?" Jesse asked.

"Yes." I said, smiling. I was so happy he was actually picking it up.

"Estoy bien, gracias." Jesse said

"Tengo que irme." I said.

"Hasta luego." Jesse said.

"Chao." I said, clapping. "That was perfect. I knew you could do it." I said, hugging him tight.

"I was only able to because you are fabulous teacher." Jesse said, pulling me closer.

"Thank you." I said, giving him a slow, sweet kiss.

"Can you call Mercedes? I want to talk to her." Jesse said.

"Well, I was planning on going to see her later. Why don't you come?" I said.

Mercedes' POV

I was sitting on a comfy chair when somebody knocked. I opened the door to see Becca and a very excited Jesse. "Becca, I thought we were going to talk girl stuff." I said, looking at Jesse.

"He wants to talk to you in the little Spanish he know." Becca said.

"Ah. Hola, Jesse." I said.

"Hola, Mercedes. ¿Comó estás?" Jesse said.

"Wow, you did good Becca. Bien, gracias. ¿Y tú?" I said.

"Muy bien." Jesse said, with a huge smile.

"Brava!" I said, clapping.

"He can also ask what a person's name is, say his name is, what you say when you meet a person and several ways to say goodbye." Becca said, beaming at him. I could tell that she was extremely proud of him.

"Can he say yes and no?" I said.

"I already knew that much." Jesse said.

"Mami and Papi will go crazy. Oh…Joe, come in here, por favor." I said.

"Ooo…that means please." Jesse said.

"Yes, princess, what do you need?" Joe said.

"Listen to this. Jesse let's start at hello from our earlier conversation." I said.

"Hola, Mercedes. ¿Comó estás?" Jesse said.

"Excelente. ¿Y tú?" I said, smiling.

"Muy bien, gracias." Jesse said.

"That was impressive, Jesse. Your family will like this. Do you want me to get your parents, Mercedes?" Joe said.

"No, let's keep it a secret and see how everyone reacts at the ball." Becca said.
