How to Say ‘And I talked with people’ in Spain Spanish

Y hablé con gente

ee ah-BLEH kohn HEN-teh

[ee ah-BLEH kohn HEN-teh]

💬 Usage Tip: You can add: "...de la iglesia" or "...sobre Jesús". "Hablar con" = talk with; "hablar de" = talk about.

🇪🇸 In Spain: In Spain, “talking with people” feels more relational and less formal than “I was taught,” which can sound institutional.
