    Martina y Pérez can be used as a supplement and springboard for many lessons on Spanish and English vocabulary and usage. The vocabulary in the play focuses on:

    • Greetings
    • Valedictions
    • Directions
    • Colors
    • Months
    • Days of the week
    • Seasons
    • Exclamations
    • Food
    • Animals
    • Numbers
    • Professions
    • Common verbs
    • Common adjectives
    • Common nouns

    Of course, there are many ways to say the same thing in both languages, and usage and vocabulary can change with the country or location. Feel free to explore synonyms and alternate phrasing as needed!
