As Long As You Wrap Them Well
In the crafts town next to Guadalajara, Sarah and Julian look for a wedding present that isn't a blender, and find blown glass. Say as long as, unless, in case and without someone seeing or knowing, buy something handmade, ask for it to be wrapped, and keep a present secret from a bride who sees everything.

THE STORY
It's Tuesday morning, the fifteenth of December, four days before the wedding. Sarah and Julian take a bus to Tlaquepaque, the crafts town next to Guadalajara, a town of painted pottery, glassblowers and mariachis. Julian thinks the blender is present enough. Sarah drags him into a little workshop where a man is blowing a glowing ball of glass at the end of a long pipe, with hundreds of glasses on the shelves. That evening, at Valeria's flat, the box has to go under the bed before the bride sees it. This is the conversation you'll be able to say by the end of the lesson.
