LEARN SPANISH BY USING CLUES

How did you do with the second asking for address
information.. Let us next look at the lower section of the subscription
card. This is the section of the card that asks for information on how you are going
to pay for your gift subscription. The card will remain at the top of the
page. As such you may have to return to the top of the page
to review the different sections of the card. To return back to where you were
click on the appropriate number above.
The first word is "adjunto". The word next to it
is "cheque". It is not too difficult to figure out that this is the
Spanish word for "check". In fact it exactly matches how it is spelled in
England. So how does this help you in figuring out what "adjunto" means in
English? Well if you are going to send a check you must have to place the
subscription card in an envelope. Therefore the check would be _______ in the
envelope. Can you figure out what the missing word is? Once you think you have
the right answer click on the empty box below and drag your mouse from left to right.

There is another choice of something that you could send to pay
for the subscription. What could the phrase "Giro Postal" mean? You
learned in the address section of the subscription card that "Postal" in Spanish
means the same as "Postal" in English. What else could you send that would
be like a check? Something that can be purchased at the post office (or a bank, or a
convenience store)? Once you think you have the right answer click on the empty box below and drag your mouse from left to right.

Next is the phrase "Envíenme La Factura". You
know that a word that has "la" or "el" before it must be a noun.
Therefore "La Factura" must be a noun. That should make
"Envíenme" a verb. If you don't want to pay for something now, what could
you request that the company do? Once you think you have the right answer click on
the empty box below and drag your mouse from left to right.
Envíenme La Factura |
Send me a
bill (or invoice) |

Next you have the option of paying with a credit card. After you check
the appropriate type of credit card what does the company request you complete? Once
you think you have the right answer click on the empty box below and drag your mouse from
left to right.

Finally in the last section they are asking for information that
concerns the credit card. It might be difficult to know if you don't have a credit
card, but let's see if you can guess what each phrase means. The first "Fecha
de Vencimiento" has something to do specifically with the credit card. You
already gave the number of the credit card, so what else might they be asking? As a
hint credit cards are usually only good for a set period of time. After that they
have to be renewed. Once you think you have the right answer click on the
empty box below and drag your mouse from left to right.
The final phrase is "Firma autorizada". Once
again it might be difficult to figure out this phrase if you do not use a credit card.
Basically the company wants you to do something that gives them the right to bill
your credit card for the price of the subscription. The word "autorizada"
looks similar in spelling to the meaning of the word in English. Can you figure out
what that word is? Can you figure out what "Firma" means in English? Once
you think you have the right answer click on the empty box below and drag your mouse from
left to right.
