Martes, 3 de diciembre: SER y ESTAR

On Tuesday we studied the verb to be in the present tense.

Next week we will further explore the uses of the ser and estar forms of the verb to be while talking about our families, pets and/or friends.

Please come prepared to class so you can talk about yourself or your family using the verbs ser (e.g. mi hermano es alto,  los abuelos son inteligentes, mi padre es de Argentina, mi familia no es muy grande, mi perro es negro y grande, etc.)

Enjoy the videos below and see you next week!

Martes: 19 de noviembre: SER and ESTAR


This week we have learned about likes (me gusta) and wants (quiero). One of the videos below teaches you how to say "I want to be your friend" in Spanish, so I decided to share it with you.

In the next few weeks we are going to practice how ser and estar (both verbs mean "to be" in English) are used differently in Spanish. You already know how to use ser and estar: El gato es blanco, Soy de Guatemala, ¿Qué hora es? Estoy bien, etc. We will get to practice this at Academy once we get back from our break. In preparation for our next few classes, please take a look at the info and the videos below.






Also, if you could, watch the video by Sr. Howard below. You'll learn how to express your feelings by using estoy (I am) and condition by using me duele (it hurst).

See you in a couple of weeks!
