CERO ABSOLUTO

Recientemente una seguidora de uno de mis canales de YouTube para aprender español, 5 minutos de español, me pidió que hiciera un vídeo sobre frases para decir a su hijo de 2 años en español. La tarea, en principio, no se presentó fácil, no usamos un vocabulario muy interesante con niños pequeños, su vocabulario es realmente limitado, probablemente peor que el vuestro como estudiantes de español como lengua extranjera. Sea como fuere, me esforcé para hacer un vídeo (audio en Italki) para cumplir los deseos de esta seguidora del canal.
Espero que las frases sean de vuestro agrado. Ah, por cierto, perdonadme por el resfriado porque mi voz suena realmente rara, al menos para mí, que sé como suele sonar habitualmente.
