I'm gonna fix this lesson up. You need to learn the basics if your a newbie. The more challenged students will have to wait our request a class. But here we go some new terms and sayings that will be useful to you in the future.



Sí- yes
No- no

¿Cómo te llamas? - What is your name?
Me llamo ____. - My name is __(name)__

¿Cómo estás? - How are you?
Muy bien - great
bien - great
más o menos - so-so
mal - bad
horrible - horrible

¡Hasta luego!- see you later
¡Hasta Pronto!- see you soon

¿Cuántos años tienes?- How old are you?
Tengo ___ años - I'm __(age)__ years.

¿Puedo ir al baño?- Can I go to the bathroom?
¿Puedo tomar agua?- Can I get a drink of water?




I- Yo
you- Tú
He, She, Usted- él, ella, usted
we- nosotros/as
y'all- vosotros/as // ustedes in latin american spanish
Them- ellos, ellas

Usted- is a formal term. Use it with teachers, superiors, etc.
Ustedes- more than one superior




¿ De Dónde eres?- Where do you come from?
Soy de ______. - I'm from _____.
(literally means I'm of ____ but forget that for now)

Ser- to be

Ser is one of the bases for a lot of words. Literally adds an ending to your title. Like I am, you are, he/she is, etc.

I- Yo soy (I am)
You- Tú eres (You are)
He, she, Usted- él, ella, usted es (he, she usted is)
we- nosotros/as somos (we are)
Y'all- vosotros/as sois (y'all are)
they- ellos, ellas, son (they are)

Another thing to know is when conjugating verbs you usually use this format. Exception of -er, -ir and ir-regular verbs.
Use this when conjrigatig -ar verbs. Just cut off the -ar and add the nessesary letter. (Ex. Hablar = to speak. Hablo= I speak)

Yo= -o (hablo)
Tú= -as (hablas)
él, ella, usted= -a (habla)
Vosotros/as= -amos (hablamos)
Vosotros/as= -áis (habláis)
Ellos, ellas, Ustedes= -an (hablan)

(Go to Lesson 6 for conjugations, Lesson 5 for verbs)
