Juan:'You like to play cards, don't you?'
Peter:'Yes, now and again. Why do you want to know?'
Juan:'I'm unsure what the different names of cards are in English. When we go to thecasino next week, I don't want to look stupid.'
Peter:'Well, first of all a packet of 52 cards is called a deck of cards. In a deck ofcards each card has one of 4 different symbols on them, two of the symbols are red andtwo of them are black.'
Juan:'Is one of the black symbols that looks like one leaf of a plant called a spade?'
Peter:'That's right, spades do look like a leaf of a plant. The other black symbol, whichlooks like a clover or a small plant with three leaves, is called a club.'
Juan:'I know that one of the red symbols which looks like a heart or a symbol of love iscalled a heart, but what is the other red symbol called?'
Peter:'The red symbol on cards which has a shape with four straight lines like a square butpointing up and down is called a diamond.'
Juan:'There's a name in Spanish for all the cards in a deck or pack which have the samesymbol (like all the hearts) on them.'
Peter:'You mean the 13 cards in a deck which have all have the same symbol on them, like diamonds or clubs?'

Peter:'A card with an old man with a beard is called a King. A card with a picture ofa woman, is called a Queen. And a card with a picture of a young man without abeard is called a Jack. For example, the King of hearts or the Jack of clubs.'

Peter:'A card with the letter 'A' in the corner is called an Ace. For example, the Aceof hearts. There are also another 2 additional cards in a pack of cards which are not in anysuit (e.g. suit of diamonds) and have a picture of a funny and strange man on them. Eachof these two cards is called a Joker.'
Juan:'Like in Batman?'
Peter:'Exactly.'
