I use this method extensively in my teaching and studies of languages.<\/p>\n<p>In order to speak at the advanced level, you must be able to fully express a problem with details and request resolution. This activity provides a natural context. Think polite phrases, commands, subjunctive and honorifics.<\/p>\n<p>This is a fun activity for people learning to make complaints politely in a foreign language. I love it because it is very communicative and it is fun making simulations the best way to learn languages. It recycles lots of lower-level language like greetings, time, and numbers. It gets a lot of higher-level language in there as well, such as politely complaining to try to get someone to take a specific course of action.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the things that you\u2019re going to need if you want to do it as I suggest:<\/p>\n<p>1. A plastic rat, a plastic dog or cat or a bird- basically any animal that can be a pest.<\/p>\n<p>2. A toy baby.<\/p>\n<p>The sound effects that I have shared with you are the party, the loud speaker, the crying baby, screaming, cat and loud music.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/soundbible.com\/1555-Crowd-At-Carnival.html\">Party<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/soundbible.com\/557-Baby-Crying.html\">Crying Baby<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/soundbible.com\/2085-Annoying-Speaker-Pulsing.html\">Loud Speaker<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/soundbible.com\/1082-People-Screaming.html\">Screaming<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/soundbible.com\/1954-Cat-Meow-2.html\">Cat<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/soundbible.com\/528-Accordion.html\">Loud Music<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We have the guest is checking in, and the person working reception.

The person at reception will not know either. I suggest writing them down on little slips of paper, folding them up, and putting them somewhere. You could put them in perhaps a hat or something where they\u2019re going to select what the actual problem is. Or you could just surprise them randomly, like <a href=\"https:\/\/wheelofnames.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wheel of Names<\/a>. Use the one that you feel like using. This is a really fun dialogue dramatization that gets lots of real life practice and is a whole lot of fun, too.<\/p>\n<p>A fun way to do this during remote learning is to create a Google slide and add some pictures. Students get on your Meet and play the parts.<\/p>\n<p>This works as an independent study activity, too. While you may feel silly doing this on your own. I suggest recording yourself after you have written out a script for both parts. Simulations are among the best ways to learn languages. They are great for polishing up some rough spots and learn a lot of vocabulary in context.<\/p>\n<p>Do you teach Spanish?
