FYI to create these conversational scripts, I use the vocabulary lists and grammar rules from a fantastic, free app called SpanishDictionary. I highly recommend checking it out yourself, either by downloading the app or visiting their website! (Please note: This post is not a collaboration, nor am I sponsored by SpanishDictionary in any way—I just genuinely love using it!)
