Spanish by Choice/SpanishPod newbie lesson A0030

Making a phone call in Spanish can be somewhat challenging. (I'll never forget my first phone call in Spanish; that's for sure.) Thus, the information provided by Liliana and JP in this lesson is particular useful. The keywords are: está – he/she is (in), no está – he/she is not (in).
