hello and welcome to learn spanish on
spanish 6.com
I'm parently Whitmire your teacher today
you'll be learning about basic
introductions and greetings like
hola como esta me llamo in mucho mas
domina
one of the main reasons a person learns
a new language is so that they can talk
to people that they wouldn't normally
talk to and one of the best ways to
practice the new language is to talk to
people
there are thousands of people at spanish
. com who are ready to speak to you in
Spanish or English so let's get started
when you find someone that you would
like to start a conversation with its
usually polite to say something like
excuse me right
you can't just but in and start having a
conversation with a total stranger
so to say excuse me you could say para
darnos in your if you were speaking to a
man
perdon a senior and if you were talking
to a woman you could say their illness
and y ahora para una signora
are you ready for your first practice
how would you say excuse me to this man
bien
perdon a senior and how would you say
excuse me to this woman
para donde signora
muy bien if he or she looks your way
then you know you have an opening for a
conversation he or she might also say
hola
one of the s hello good morning
ola windows vs
now if it's not morning where you are
here she could say hola
when a snot chase hola one that's not
chase this is your cue to start a
conversation when someone says
hola one of the S or when it's not just
it's your turn to respond and all you
have to do is repeat what they just said
so if i say one of the s what do you say
muy bien one of the s and if I said one
has no chess
que bien . as not chase
afterwards you can ask each other how
you are feeling this is an opening for a
little more personal conversation to ask
how are you
you say normal a la goma as that
now Spanish has two ways to speak to a
person
formerly which I just thought you going
with that and informally if you were
going to ask a friend a close family
member or someone younger than you
you could say go moist us this is the to
form go moist ah is the most EDD form
will get to the differences between two
news that in a later lesson but for now
since you just met me and you would like
to show me a little respect
ask me how I am by asking como la estoy
bien gracias yes
estoy bien means I'm fine
gracias of course means thank you
there are lots of other options for
golmaal stop
let's take a look at a few of them estee
mom I'm not well
estoy mal estoy triste
I'm sad estoy please
as three families
I'm happy as story families
those are the basics but remember if
you're meeting a person for the first
time
it's just polite to answer estoy bien
gracias yes you can also ask them how
they are doing but you don't have to
repeat the whole question
go moist that you can just say instead
and you I'll ask you how you are feeling
tell me how you feel by saying as toy
bien y usted and then i'll tell you how
I'm feeling
listo boy stop
estoy bien glass
yes perfect
but as I'm sure you've noticed spanish
is a good bit different from english and
in spanish nouns and adjectives have
gender
they're either masculine or feminine I'm
a woman
so my adjectives have to be feminine
let's take a look and you'll see what I
mean
estoy enojado I'm an angry
estoy enojado estoy enojada I'm angry
estoy enojada estoy cansado i'm tired as
toy cansado estoy cansada
I'm tired as a strike on Posada
estee confundido i'm confused as to why
confundido estee conde de I'm confused
estoy confundido de did you notice that
all the adjectives that describe the men
ended in the letter O and all the
adjectives that describe the women ended
in the letter A
this is a very general rule for
masculine and feminine in espanol
so I give you an adjective and it has a
no on the end but you're a woman
then all you have to do is change the 02
an a or vice versa if i give you an
adjective that in an A and you're a man
all you have to do is change the ending
to an 00
let's practice with a few what this
person say
estoy ocupado I'm busy or estoy ocupada
estoy ocupada it's a woman
what about this person estoy aburrido
i'm bored or estoy aburrida a story
about me know because he's a boy you've
learned a lot of vocabulary really
quickly so let's practice the dialogue
using everything that we've learned so
far
you start by saying excuse me man i'll
respond and keep the conversation going
this time when I ask you how you are you
can respond using any of the adjectives
that I've shown you least one of the s
Go moisturizer
estoy cansada good ass yes
oh we have the introduction to a great
conversation but let's get to the names
you already know my name may llamo para
Lee
como se llaman go see Amma is what is
your name and you can easily respond by
saying major tamil and then your name
let's try it again may-yammo apparently
como se llaman mucho gusto mucho gusto
me is nice to meet you
and it's a great thing to say to someone
when you first meet them to respond
you could say iguana men day
igualmente day
this means that the feeling is mutual
let's practice the dialogue again
me llamo apparently como se llaman mucho
gusto
perfect
you've learned so much already and just
one lesson but before you head to the
practice section
let's have a dialogue with everything
that you've learned so far
you start with excuse me man in espagnol
i'll respond and keep the conversation
