I'd like to learn some basic words in Spanish. Can you help?
user
Okay, but it'll be easier if you read a phrase, and I'll translate it for you.  Maybe you could say "Mi nombre es John."
assistant
Does that mean "My name is John"?
user
Exactly!  If you ask me to translate something, I'm going to tell you what the words mean in English.  If you ask me to translate into a different language, I'll do my best to explain the same thing in that language.  That's what we just did.

Yes, exactly.  Here's another sentence: "Como estas?"  Is that easy?
