Sally is talking with her friend, Don.
S：Sally　D：Don
S：Tell me, Don. How come you're from Spain, but you can't speak Spanish very well?
D：It's not my mother tongue. My father is Spanish and my mother is American. We usually speak English at home.
S：Oh, I see.
D：Your Spanish is probably better than mine.
S：Yes, but you speak English more fluently than I.
D：How come? Aren't you American?
S：Yes, but my mother is Spanish.
D：Don't tell me...
S：That's right. We usually speak Spanish at home.
D：It doesn't matter as long as we can communicate.
S：That's true.

莎莉正在和她的朋友唐講話。
莎莉：告訴我，唐。為什麼你是個西班牙人但西班牙語卻說得不怎麼好？
唐：那不是我的母語。我爸爸是西班牙人而我媽媽是美國人。我們在家通常都說英語。
莎莉：哦，我明白了。
唐：妳的西班牙語可能比我的好。
莎莉：對啊，可是你英語說得比我流利。
唐：怎麼會這樣呢？妳不是美國人嗎？
莎莉：對，可是我媽媽是西班牙人。
唐：那該不會……
莎莉：沒錯。我們在家大多都講西班牙語。
唐：只要我們能溝通就無所謂啦。
莎莉：說的一點兒沒錯。
