Parent Phone Calls

[poli]

My suggestion is that you set up a script for yourself in Spanish with the info you wish to convey. Introduce yourself indicating to the parent that
you are new to Spanish. Something like-Perdona mi español. Estoy en el
proceso de aprender el idioma.
There will be catch words that you will always use. Espressing yourself is
step one, but you can get your point across with a brief rehearsal. With a
check list you will communicate more easily.
