Spanish from the video
Read the Spanish, then check its English meaning. Listen again when you want to hear the phrasing.
Es muy caro.
It's very expensive.
Cuesta demasiado dinero para mí.
It costs too much money for me.
Los precios están por las nubes últimamente.
Prices are through the roof lately.
Ese restaurante te cuesta un ojo de la cara.
That restaurant costs you an arm and a leg.
¡Vaya sablazo! Es un atraco a mano armada.
What a rip-off! It's pure highway robbery.
A closer look
Caro means expensive. Demasiado caro means too expensive for the situation or budget.
Idioms about price can add humor or emphasis. A clear sentence is often more useful when speaking with a shop assistant.
The video uses level labels to arrange its examples. Treat these as variations to explore, not a test of your level or a rule that longer phrases are better.
