Course Guidelines: Welcome, or as the Spanish say, Ben Benidos. Welcome to El Methodo. I'm Peter, your professor for the program. And for the authentic native touch, here's my daughter Jessica. Before starting the method itself, there are a couple of guidelines for following the course I'd like to set out in this introduction. Firstly, it's vital to ensure that each lesson has been truly mastered before moving on to the next. The course is cumulative in nature. It's been carefully structured so that your success with each lesson and ultimately the entire method relies on mastery of all previous lessons. Equally, those of you who may already know some Spanish should resist the temptation to skip ahead at any point, even if the first lessons seem a little too elementary. At each stage, Elmeoo lays down the crucial foundations for future progress with the language. So for full effect, it's vital to proceed patiently and methodically, as the name of the program implies. Okay. You'll be constantly asked to produce phrases in Spanish, which you will then check with the same phrases given by myself and Jessica. If you consider you've performed well, that's to say, with 90 to 100% accuracy, and ideally within the timed pauses we provide, then you're free to progress. If not, we do suggest repeating the lesson as many times as you need. In addition to this self assessment, we strongly suggest following the lessons in the order set out here. This way, each lesson will be taken three times and you'll advance by one lesson a day. These three lessons as well as the short written exercise that comes after each should take about an hour. Make it a daily habit to get your three lessons in more if you wish, and you'll be sailing through the levels in no time. Bear in mind that each level shouldn't take more than a month to complete if you're working methodically and with the intensity which is really required at this stage. So make yourself comfortable, relax, and allow the method to do its work. And you can now look forward to an exciting sense of constant and rapid progress with the Spanish language. And 3. Hola.: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the first lesson of Elmetodo. Jessica and I wish you all the best for success on your journey into this splendid language. Very briefly, here's how the course works. We'll introduce a new word and you'll repeat it loud. You'll be prompted to do so by the double speech bubbles. Now we ask you to formulate your own phrases, prompted by the ESP bubble, ESP for Espagnol, Spanish. Think and then speak your Spanish phrase out loud, hitting pause if need be. Now, I'll give the same phrase, which hopefully will be the same as yours. There's another space for you to repeat after me. And finally, I'll give the phrase again. Please repeat after me, imitating my Spanish pronunciation and also try to say the phrase as fast as I do. Best of luck. A good place to start is the greeting Hello, which in Spanish is holla. Please repeat that. Hola. Hola. You can hear that the initial H is silent. Ola. The next word is I. Yo. Yo. The Y is pronounced similarly to English, but with just a hint of J. Yo. Yo. Now, to say I am, it's si. Yo Soy. However, it's more common to hear soy alone. Since in Spanish, the pronouns U he we and they are not usually spoken. The verb forms alone identify the person. So I am osi or more commonly soy. Si. So how would you say in Spanish? Hello? I'm Peter. Ola Soy Peter. Or giving my name Spanish pronunciation. Ola SoPeter. So now I'd like you to introduce yourself. Hello, I'm filling in with your own name. Ola Soy Ola. Soy? Let's have a quick look at the Spanish vowels. As in English, there are five, but luckily for the learner of Spanish, each vowel only has one possible sound. Unlike English, where each vowel can be pronounced in various different ways, amounting to some 20 or so possible vowel sounds. It's far more straightforward in Spanish with only five vowel sounds. Can you repeat after me? A, A, E or Ooh. Be sure to pronounce only pure vowels, just as you hear them. Avoiding any diphthongs, that's to say, sounds like A instead of A and Oh instead of Oh. A, A, E O? Oh. It may help to think of the ah as the ah in the sound of laughter. Ha ha ha ha. I hesitate to give an actual English word as pronunciation varies with the different English accents. Ah. The A is the same E as in the English egg, nice and short E. The E is the short E of Et. The next one is Oh, as in the British English pronunciation of hot or perhaps, again, the sound of laughter. This time that of Santa Claus, Father Christmas. Oh. The oh is the short ooh of flute, or perhaps the sound a monkey makes. Ooh. So that's it. There's not a single example in the entire Spanish language of a vowel having two different sounds. If you pause and practice these five vowels, you're done. To say as in a dog, a car, we say un. On. A coffee is un cafe. Un cafe. And we emphasize the a vowel on account of the accent, which indicates the stress, the strong syllable un cafe and not cafeun cafe. Please is por favor. Por favor. Each of the final Rs is lightly flipped with the very tip of the tongue, just behind and above the front teeth, the very same tongue placement as an English D. D. But with the lightest and briefest of touches to produce the flipped a a por favor. Speakers of American English may like to think of the Spanish flipped DR as the T sound in water or butter. Por favor. Por favor. So how would you say a coffee, please? Un cafe por favor. Un cafe por favor. Spanish, all objects, things or concepts, what we call nouns are considered to be either masculine or feminine. Cafe is masculine, so we use un un cafe. But a coca cola for no particular reason, happens to be feminine. So we say una coca cola. Una Coca Cola. Really try to get those pure vowels as you practiced before, una coca cola. Una Coca Cola. B. So then, how would you say hello? A Coca Cola, please? Ola, una Coca Cola, Pfavor. O una Coca Cola, por favor. And how about hello? A coffee, please? Ola un cafe, por favor. O un cafe por favor. The word for and is E, just like the Spanish Eval we practiced before. E. E. So now you can say a coffee and a Coca Cola. Uncafe una Coca Cola. Uncafe una Coca Cola. And now say hello, a coffee and a Coca Cola, please. Ola un cafe una Coca Cola, Porfavor. Ola. Uncafe una Coca Cola Porfavor. I the word for two, the number two is Ds. The Spanish D is actually softer than in English, and it's produced with the tongue flat against the gum ridge against the top of the mouth, not the tip of the tongue as an English. Not do do do, but a light do do with the tongue flat at the top of the mouth. Dos. Repeat, please. Dos. Dos. So now, could you say two Coca Colas? Dos Coca colas. Dos Coca colas. I as you see, just as in English, an S is added to plural nouns. But please take care to always pronounce the plural Spanish S as not with the voice as we do in English after vowels, we say Coca colas, Coca colas and coffees in Spanish. It's Coca Colas cafes. So how would you say two coffees? Dos cafes. Dos cafes. Two coffees and a Coca Cola. Dos cafes, una Coca Cola. Dos cafes una Coca Cola. A coffee and two Coca Colas, please. Una I does Coca Colas porfavor. Un cafe, I does Coca Colas porfavor. This is probably one of the very first things we need to do in Spanish, to order things such as drinks, and we can also do so by saying, I want such and such. This could sound rather blunt in English to say, I want something. We'd usually say can I have or I'd like, but it works just fine in Spanish. So the way to say I want is okieroUsually simply quiero quiero. So to order a coffee, we can say Kern cafe, por favor. Kirun cafe, por favor. Okay, how would you say I want a Coca Cola, please? Kiruna Coca Cola, por favor. Kiruna Coca Cola, por favor. And how about Hello, I want. Can I have two Coca Colas and a coffee, please? I Ola, quiero dos Coca Colas unfPorfavur. O, quiero coca cola cafe pfavur. So now, to really make these phrases stick, let's practice them rhythmically. Just join in with us when you get the hang of it and then go back repeating the chant as often as you can, to really make it sink in. Kero una coca cola pavor. Quiero una coca cola, por favor. On cafe. Un cafe. Una Coca Cola, porfaur. Gio tos Coca Colas porfavor. O dos Coca Cola por favor. On cafe. Un cafe. Is Coca Colas porfavor. Giro una Coca Cola porfavo. Irouna Coca Cola porfavor. Those cafes. Dos cafes, una Coca Cola Pfavor. Kero una Coca Cola, porfavor. Kero una Coca Cola porfabor. On cafe. On cafe. Una Coca Cola, por favor. Go dos Coca Colas por favor. Go Ds Coca Cola for favor. Un cafe. Cafe Coca Colas per favor. Gero, una Coca Cola, porfabor. Gio una, Coca Cola porfavor.Tos cafes Ts cafes. Una Coca Cola, por favor. 4. Gracias, Posible, Es, Para mí: Bienvenidos de nuevo. Welcome back to Elmeto Spanish course for beginners. Let's jump straight back in with our next important word. Thank you, which in Spanish is Gracias. Gracias. The C of Gracias is pronounced as an English TH, as in thanks, the same word. Gracias. Gracias. However, in most Latin American countries, this soft C is pronounced as an S. So you'll hear Gracias in Latin American countries rather than Gracias that you'll hear in most of mainland Spain. Gracias. Oh. To say, thank you very much, it's Muchas gracias. Literally, many thanks. Muchas gracias. Muchas. So if we enter a bar or the like, the first thing we'd say is hello, which in Spanish, is Ola. We'd then order something, for example, I want or can I have a coffee and two Coca Colas, please. I do Coca Colas Pfavor. Era Coca Colas porfavor. Then we'd say, thank you very much. Muchas Muratas To say possible in Spanish, it's very easy possible. Possible. The second syllable, the E is accentuated possible. And the final A sound as always in Spanish, is a pure vowel, not A. Don't say possible, but possible. Impossible unsurprisingly, is impossible. Impossible. To say it is or it's the Spanish only requires one word, S. S. How then would we say It's possible? Es possible. Is possible. And how about it's Impossible? As impossible. Impossible. Don't forget to stress this impossible. To say for me, it's parami. Bar ami. And to say for you, it's part. Part. As with the soft D for Ds that we practiced in the last lesson, the Spanish T is also softer than in English and produced with a flat tongue against the gum ridge against the top of the mouth. Part. Avoid saying part, but part. Can you practice that a few times? Part part? So now try saying it's for me. Es param. Esparami. And how about It's for you? EspartEspar. How would we say it's possible for me? I And how would we say it's impossible for you? Can you say a Coca Cola for me? Una Coca Cola param. Una Coca Cola parami. Now, say a coffee for me and a Coca Cola for you. UncafParam una Coca Cola para ti. UncaeParam una Coca Cola para ti. The way to say it's not or indeed it isn't is simply nos noise. Noise. So then try saying it's not for you. Nos part. Nos part. And how about It's not for me? It's for you. Params. So we've seen that the article is either un or una un for masculine things, una for feminine things. In the same way, the word the changes according to the gender of the object or thing. L for a masculine thing and for something feminine. Both meaning the E a. How would you say the Coca Cola, bearing in mind that Coca Cola is feminine? La Coca Cola. La Coca Cola. And coffee being masculine, how would you say the coffee? El cafe. El cafe. Unfortunately, we can't predict the gender of something unless it's obvious like a man, a woman, a boy or a girl. What we can state, though, is that a word ending in an A, such as Coca Cola is more likely to be feminine. There are plenty of common exceptions to this rule. But if you do need to guess, then go with feminine una or a for a word ending in an A. The Coca Cola is for me. La Coca Cola Es param. La Coca Cola Es param. The coffee is for you. El cafe is part. El cafe part. The Coca Cola's for me, and the coffee is for you. L Ccacola sparamiEel cafe, spart. La Ccacola EsparamEspar. The coffee is not for me. It's for you. Elf EpaEpE no EsparaEsparat. It's not possible for me. No. It's impossible for you. Now it's time for our rhythmic chant. Join in when you get the hang of it and repeat as many times as you can. This wonderful practice will really help speed up your learning and place the language firmly in your long term memory. La Coca Cola is para, me. La Coca Cola is para, me, like Coca Cola is para, me, el cafe, para tea. La coca cola is para, me. La Coca Cola is para me. La Coca Cola is para, me, el cafe. SparaT. El cafe, no para me. La Coca Cola is para me. El cafe, no para me. EspaEf no expire on me. Coca Cola expire on me. El Cafe, no expire on me. Ear posible, paraspiP me. No Esposa. No Epos para mesi papa me. No Epley, para. No Epos B me. 5. Importante, Bueno, Malo, Muy: Welcome back to Elmetodo. Welcome to class number three for beginners as we continue laying the solid foundations of your mastery of the basics of the Spanish language. As we learned in lesson two, the way to say it's for you is sparat. Es parat. If we wanted to form the question, is it for you, then there's no change, only the inflection of the words changes, giving it a questioning tone. SparatEsparat. So how do you think we would ask, is it possible Es possible. Es possible. And how would we ask, is the Coca Cola for me, remembering not to alter the statement yet simply to add a questioning inflection? Is the Coca Cola for me? La Coca Cola param. La Coca Cola parami. And how about is the coffee for you? El cafe Espart. El part. The word important, again, is very similar in Spanish, importante. It say, it's important. And the question, is it important? And I'll say it's not important. And what about Is it important for you? The word for good that you might already recognize is Bueno. Bueno. And the word for bad is Malo. Malo. So can you say it's good? Is Bueno. Is Bueno. It's bad. It's Malo. It's Malo. And now ask, is it good? Is Bueno. Is Bueno? It's not good. No, Es Bueno. No, Es Bueno. It's good for you. So parts. It's not good for me. No it's Bueno param. No so param. The word for Very is Moy. Moy. How then would we say, It's very good? Is Mui Bueno. Is Mui Bueno. I now say, it's very bad for you. Is Mui Malo part. Is Mui Malo part. Now for the rhythmic chant. As usual, just join in when you get the hang of it. It's Win pile D. We win no part. Is Wow fir on me? We win no f on me. Is Wo irRT? We we no parald. Is W B on me? We we no part on me. He por sante Mo portanteipo tante Mo TranteEpante. Mutante sting. Mop tante. E possibly Posible para EzibsbParat. Es possibly. Possible param. E possibly. Possibly, para. Nos, we mall. We mall Lis, we Mallo. We mall part. Nos, we mallow we malo Nos, we mall of. We mall parate. 6. Agua, Cerveza, Lo siento, Tengo: Welcome again. Welcome to Lesson four of Elmetodo. And let's get straight back down to work. To catch someone's attention with, excuse me, in Spanish, we say Perdone. Berdone. Just take some time to practice flipping that R perdone. So it's not a Trilda. It's not Perdone and definitely not an English R perdone. Perdone, a single touch with the tip of the tongue. Bervone. So now you can say, excuse me, I want or we'd say, Can I have? Excuse me. I want a Coca Cola, please. Perdon quiero una Coca Cola, por favor. Perdon. Kero una Coca Cola por favor. A water, as in a glass of water, perhaps a bottle is unagua unargua. A beer is una Thevta. Una thevta. This word is likely to require some practice to pronounce correctly. The difficulty lies in the consonants. Both the initial C and the Z or the Z are pronounced as English THs. Thervta with the tip of the tongue actually visible between the top and bottom rows of teeth, as in, thank you. Una Thervta. Una Thervta. And the V is a very light B, in fact, produced with the upper and lower lips making contact, no teeth involved. The upper and the lower lips come together extremely likely to create this typically Spanish very light B sound. Thervta Una era. Do pause the video and practice until you're comfortable pronouncing this very useful word. For those of you who will be using Latin American Spanish, both the initial C and the Z or Z are pronounced as Ss. So we get sera una Sersa. So then, how would you say I want? Can I have a water, please? Quiero naguaPfavor. Quiero Naga por favor. And how about I want a beer, please? Quiero nata por favor. Quiero naa, por favor. And now can you say, excuse me, I want a water and a beer, please? Perdone quiero una agua una ThebtaPorfabor. Perdone Quiero Nagua una TherbzaPer fabor. And how about excuse me, the coffee is not for me. Perdone E cafe noes param. Perdon. El cafe noes parami. Do you remember how to say I am? Your soy. Your soy. Or more usually simply soy. Soy. So how would one say I'm bad? Soy Malo. Soy Malo. Now, a girl or a woman doesn't say soymalo, but soymala as the adjective, is feminine and takes a final A instead of the O. Soimala. And likewise, how do you think a woman would say, I'm good? Soy Buena. So Buena. And how would a man say, I'm good? Soy Bueno. So Bueno. And how then would a man say, I'm very good? So Bueno. So Mi Bueno. And how would a woman say, I'm very bad? So Mima. So Mui Mala. The way to say, I'm sorry in Spanish is osieno. Lo means it. So osiento literally means I feel it osiento. Locieno And the word for but is Pero. Pero. Again, here we have a light, single flipped R, pero. Be careful not to roll the R Pero as this means a dog. So try to say, I'm sorry, but it's very important. And what about I'm sorry, but it's not possible. Leno Periber The way to say I'm not, unsurprisingly, is no soy. No soy. No soy. How would we therefore say, I'm sorry, but I'm not Carlos? I'm Peter. I Carlos. Now say I'm not very important. Not The way to say I have is tengo. Tengo. Resist the temptation to pronounce it tengo. With a light T and a pure Oh, we get tengo. Tengo. The O intengo refers to the first person I. So therefore, it's not always necessary to say Yo tengo. The verb alone identifies the first person I. Tengo. So the way to say I don't have is No tengo. No tengo. How did we say I'm sorry? Meaning I feel it in Spanish? I'm sorry. Locieno Locieno so if L o Siento means I feel it, how do you think we would say, I have it? Ltengo Loteno. Good. So we see that the pronoun it, unlike in English, goes before the verb. How then do you think we would say, I don't have it? No tengo. No tengo. Try saying I have a beer. Tengo at Tengo a Theerbta. Now say I don't have a coffee. No tengo un cafe. No teng un cafe. And can you say, I don't have it? I don't have it? No tengo. No tengo. A car in Spanish is uncoce. Uncoch. In Latin American countries, the word for car is generally uncaro. Uncaro. Whenever we have a double R in Spanish, it's rolled or trilledoUUpero, meaning a dog as we saw before. I don't have a car. Ntengoncch. Ntengocch. Or in Latin America, Notengocaro. Now try. I'm sorry, but I don't have a car. Car LosienoP ernoso Carlos Locieno, Pernoo Carlos Lociento, Pernoso Carlos, ZoPite LocientoPernoo, Maria LocientoFernoo, Maria LocientoVernoo, Maria, Zoi Jessie.

Quiero, Necesito, Ahora, Así: Hello and welcome to class number five of Almetodo. Class Number five, meaning that you're no longer complete beginner, but beginning to move forward in your mastery of the basics of the Spanish language. So we said last class that a car in Spanish is uncoch in Spain and uncaro in Latin America. And how did we say I don't have a car? Notengoncoch. Notenocaro And how about I'm sorry, but I don't have a car. Now, can you say the car is very good. El Coche is Mi Bueno. El Coches Mui Bueno. Now, the way to say I want, as we saw before, is joqero. But as usual, the jo is not always required, and we can just say quiero. How then would we say, I want it? I want it? Loquero Loqero. And how about I don't want it? No ochero No ochero. Can you say I want a Coca Cola? Quiero una Coca Cola. Kero una Coca Cola. And how would you say, I don't want a coffee? I want a beer? No era. Nocerun Cafe. Kiruna Thebta. To say I need in Spanish, it's necito. Again, here, be sure to pronounce the C as an English TH Nesito. Nesito. As we saw before, speakers of Latin American Spanish will simply use an S. Necesito. So now say I need it. I don't need it. No. I need a car. And what about I need a beer? The word now is aura. As Hs are not pronounced in Spanish, we go straight from the A to the O aura. Aora. So how would you say I want it now? Lokiro aura. Lokiro aora. I want it, but I don't need it now. I Lqeroer Lokeroer. To say like that or in other words, that way, it's a C. This word has an irregular stress pattern. The final vowel, the E is stressed, requiring a written accent over it, a C. A C. Now say it's like that. As. S. What about it's not like that. No. No. I need it like that. Oh and how would you say, I don't want it like that? No kiro. No lo kiro. I'm not like that. No so see. No so as. I'm sorry, but it's not possible like that. Center possible a LocenoPeroE possible as. And the last word in this class appropriately is goodbye, which you probably know anyway, Adios. Adios. Goodbye, and thank you very much. Adios muchas Gratias Aviiosraa Practice these rhythmic chants until they're easy and just roll off the tongue. Gratias Perun, net. Muchas gratia, NiGrataPerN sit. Muchas Gratias part. Losito Pernloero Nocienoqero Lcenqercen Locienoz Locienobs Locenc Lucienoam Lookero Peron the seat. LookeroPera, take the seat. LookeroPern met set. No, de the set. I see. 8. Buenos Días, ¿Cómo estás? ¿Tienes?: When asking, how are you in Spanish? How are you? There are two possibilities, depending on the degree of formality being used. If the person is much older than you or in a position of authority, one would say cmotaGmsta for all other cases, friends, family, people of a similar age or children, an S is added to give the informal Comsta. So the verb ending changes according to the degree of formality that you use. At this stage of the course, we shall stick to the informal form, introducing the formal forms a little later on. How would you greet a friend with Hello? How are you? O, Costa. Oats. Now, the way to say good morning in Spanish, as you might already know, is Buenos Dias. Literally, good day or good days. For some reason, it's pluralized in Spanish. Repeat, please, Buenos Dias. Buenos Dias. So now, how would you greet a friend with Good morning? How are you? Buenos Dias Comuestas Buenos Dias Comuestas to reply, very well, thanks. Mia Ben meaning well, Mu Ben Gracias. MuenGraias. So once more, just to practice that exchange, how would we say? Good morning. How are you? Buenos Dias Comuestas Buenos Dias Comesas. Very well, thank you. Miban Gracias. MubanGracias. Now, what was the Spanish for? I Want it now. Lokiro aura. Lokiro aura. And how about I don't have it, but I need it. I'm sorry, but I need it now. A. I'm sorry, but it's not very good like that. I'm sorry, but it's very bad for you like that. I how did we say I have? Tengo. Tengo. And so how would we say I have it? Loteno.Tengo. And now I don't have it. Nolo tengo. Nolo tengo. The word for you in Spanish, when it comes before a verb, for example, you have, you do you want is two. Two. So to say you have, it's two tiens. Tiens. I have you have otengoT tiens. Tengo Tiens. And to ask the question, do you have? It's easy, as again, nothing changes. Only the inflection. Tienes? Tienes. So how would we ask someone? Do you have a car? Ocaro And now ask, do you have it? Lotien Lotiens. And now the statement, you have it. Lotiens Lotiens. The very important question, what is? G. So can you ask, What do you have? Get the Nis. Get the Nis. And now try asking, What do you have for me? Now, What you have for me now? A and once again, how did we say I have it? Loengo Loengo. And I don't have it. No tengo. No tengo. How about you don't have it? No tens. I and bearing in mind that the question form doesn't change from the statement. How do you think we would ask the negative question? Don't you have it? Don't you have the car? Nooch. Wen ostias comets, iban Grafias We ostias come Stas iban Grafas We ostias comets, ban Grafias. Hola. Comets MibanGrafias.

To say good morning, you'll remember is Buenos Dias. Good afternoon is Buenas Tardes. You'll notice that Buenas is with an A, as opposed to Buenos or Buenos Dias, Benaares The greeting also applies to good evening as Tarde covers both afternoon and evening. So how do we say Good afternoon? How are you? Buenas And how did we say? Very well, thank you. Movinraias. Mouvnrais. You'll remember that the word is too. So how would we ask, and you? It. It. Putting it all together, how would we say? Very well, thank you. And you? I the way to say I want, as we've already seen is quiero. Hierro. To ask the question, do you want? It's a slight change to quieres quieres. Qieres. So you can now ask, What do you want? Ququers Ququerz. I want a beer. Quiero Theta. Quiero Neta. Try saying, I'm sorry, but it's not very good. Meno. Do you have it? You don't have it. Tienes. And now the negative question, don't you have it?tienes ten. Don't you have it for me now? A aura. The question word, why in Spanish, is two words. Porque literally meaning for what? Porque. Porque. Try to say, why don't you have it? I Now, try, why do you want it? Porque oz Why do you want it that way or like that? Why do you want it now? Porches. Porque ques. The word for B in Spanish is the same as why, porque, except it's one word, porque. Porque. So how would you say I don't have it B I don't need it? Now ask, why do you want it? Porceloquz Porceloquz I want it because it's important. Loqero I don't want it because it's very bad. Nolo quiero porque is ui Malo. NoloqioPorqe is ui Malo. Do you want it? Because I don't need it. Lokerz Lokeri. Now, if we give extra emphasis to the pronouns, you and I as if to say, Do you want it? Because I don't need it. In this case, we can have the pronouns in Spanish. Do quieres PorqoNsito. The verb to know the verb itself without mention of a person, I, he, she, et cetera, in its infinitive form, that's to say the name of the verb to know is Sab. Saber. Therefore, how would we say I want to know? Quiero Koa And what about I don't want to know? NokeroaNkio Saber. I don't want to know because it's not important for me. No. And how about the question, do you want to know? Quieres Saber. Kierab I want to know why you don't have it for me now. Quiero a The expression, see you later is Astalego. Astalego.

Mm. 10. ¿Sabes? Hacerlo: O Ben Benidos Devo. Hello. Welcome back. Welcome to Lesson eight of Elmetodo. How would we ask in Spanish? Why do you want to know? Porque quieres saber. Porque era. And how would we say, I want to know because it's important? Important. In Spanish verbs in the infinitive form, that's to say in English verbs preceded by two to want to know, to have to ask. In Spanish, these verbs are just one word and always end in R, AR or R. And this ending is always stressed, always emphasized. So the common little verb to do in Spanish is af giving extra weight to the last syllable, stressing the air and being careful not to pronounce the H, all Hs in Spanish, being silent a Af as we've already seen, the letter C is actually pronounced as an English TH when it's followed by an E A The, at least in mainland Spain, that is. However, this is not the case in Latin American countries as well as the Canary Islands, where this C is pronounced as an S sound. As. To say to do it, the pronoun it actually goes after the verb. It hooks onto the end of the infinitive form Afer. Afer. So as a rule, these little words like it, I them known to linguists as object pronouns, but don't worry about that. These little words hook onto the end of the infinitive verb. In all other cases, as we've seen before, the pronouns precede the verb. But do remember that they hook onto the end of the infinitive forms. This is a very important concept to grasp as we move forward. So to do it is a with no written space between the verb A and A. How would we say to know it? Saber. Saberlo. And what about I want to know it? Quiero Saberlo Quiero Saber. And how about I Want to do it? Quiero Ather. Quiero Afer. Now, if we wanted to give extra emphasis to I, emphasizing that I want to do it, not Yu hi hi D or whoever else. I want to do it, then we could add the pronoun Yo Jochio Aero. Repeat, please, Jochro Aferlo. Why do you want to do it? Peer. Peer. So remember, pronouns like always hook onto the end of the infinitive verbs. Now, what about if we wanted to ask, do you have it, which is no longer an infinitive? Lotiens Lotiens. The question, do you know in Spanish is just like all other informal U forms in that it ends in an S. Sabis do you know? Sabis. Sabis. How therefore do you think we would ask Do you know it? Los Loss. And now say, it's important to know it. It's not important to do it now. No. I need to do it because it's very important for me. I don't need to know it because it's not important. What do you want to do now? Queer Aura. Ea. And how about why do you want it that way or like that? Peer Why don't you want to do it that way? And how would you say? I don't want to do it because it's very bad like that. Nocero Aero, porque mi Malo as. Noche Aer Porches ui Malloc. I don't have it. No tengo. No tengo. And now, you don't have it. And now ask, why don't you have the car? I don't have it because I don't want it and I don't need it. A enero And how did we say, see you later? Bye. Asto Adios. At Adios.

Now that you've got quite a few lessons under your belt, I'd like to offer a quick reminder of the guidelines we set out in the course introduction before you started the program. Firstly, it's really important to fully master the material from each lesson before moving on. Aim for 90 to 100% accuracy with all the questions. The course is cumulative in nature, so ultimately success with the program depends on success with each lesson and each language point. And a reminder not to skip lessons at any stage and to repeat them as many times as necessary until you're responding confidently, rapidly and accurately. A common complaint among students is that there sometimes isn't enough time to think out each phrase within the time given, especially now that some of the phrases are increasing in complexity. Do feel free to keep a finger on the pause button to give yourself plenty of time. If all goes well, your delivery will accelerate as each lesson is repeated. A computer in Spanish is ordenador. The word for a computer in most Latin American countries is una computadora. So how would we ask the question, do you have a computer? Now, to say the possessive M, it's simply me. Me. So how would you say I want my computer? Quiero Mordor. And now try to say, I need my computer, but I don't have it. Now, to say the possessive, it's two. Two. How would you say? Do you have your computer? And how would you ask, why do you want my computer? Because your computer is very good, but my computer is very bad. Ket ordenador bueno Pero rdenadoremalo. Porqtdenador is Mu Bueno. Pero Mordenador is Mu Malo. The verb to C is Bar. As usual, the V is pronounced as a very light B. Bar. Bear. Can you give the Spanish for I Want to see your car? Quiero to Coche. Quiero to Caro. And now the negative question, don't you want to see my computer? Nc bernadNerd. To say yes in Spanish, as you probably know is S. S. And no is no. No. So how would you say, No, I don't want to see it now. No. No chiro lo aura. No, Nocero lo aura. And now try, Yes, I want to see it, please. See, Gio Ver Porfavor. See, ioerloPerfavor. And now try the question, do you want to do it? Quieres Aer Quieres Afer. Yes, I want to do it. Si, quiero Ather. Si, Kioerlo. And how would you ask, why do you want to see it? I don't want to see it. Thank you. Nocciaoer Gracias. Nocic. Do you want a coffee? Era. Yes, please. Si, por favor. Si, Porfavor. And what about do you want a beer? No, thank you. No, Gratias. No, Gratias. Knock here is Berlo, no. Knock here is Ver, no. Knock here is erloKcie is VloKoiesVerlo, no. Kiri Sater, no. Kerri Sater, no. Kiri SterKiuro Kerri Sater, no. Sabe Sater, no. Sabes Sero, no. Sabes So Sabes So Sabe Sater, no. Lochia is sour, no. Luten is sour, no. Lotin is sour, Actin is sour, lootin sour, no. Knock here is loon, no. Knock here is loon, no. Knock here is low. Knock here is very low. Knock here is Ber lo, no. Kiri Zero. Kiri Sater Kiri ZaeroKeroKe is Zero, no. Save aero. Savi aero Savi Sater Sabi aerlo Sabi Sater, no. Look gins sour, I know. Lo gins sour, I know. Lo tin is sour, tin is sour, tin is sour, I know. 12. Puedo, Fácil, Difícil, Grande: The very useful form I can I can in Spanish is Puedo Puedo. Puedo. You can is puedes. Pues. So then, how would we say, I can do it? Puedo Aero er. And how would we say, you can see it? Per. And how about the question? Can you see it, bearing in mind that there's no change in Spanish for the interrogative. Can you see it? Pues per. Good. So then, how would we ask, can you do it? Puede Afer. Puedes Aferlo? And how would you ask someone? Can you see my car? Pues beer Micoch. Per Micoch. You won't be surprised to learn that the negative of Puedo, I can is no puedo. I can't puedo. No puedo. So you can say, No, I can't see it. No. No puedo. No. No puedo lo. And now try to say, What can you see? Ups B. Kei And how would you say, I can't do it? No puedo Aer. No puedo Ather. The word for difficult is very similar. Difiil with the accent or the stress on the middle syllable, on the middle I Difiil. Defitl. The letter C in Spanish, as you know, is softened by an E after it. It's also softened by the letter I, as we can see in the word Di Fil. However, in Latin American countries, the soft C is always pronounced as an S, so we get dificil instead of Difiil in Spain. The way to say easy is Fahl. Fhil. Or in Latin America, facil. So try to say, it's not very difficult. Nos Mud file. Nos Mudifiil. It's easy for you, but it's difficult for me. Es FatlPartPero di fitl param. Es fail part. Pero Di fil param. I can't do it because it's very difficult. No Porque Mudifilqil. And how would we say it's very difficult to know. Es Midi fil Saber. Es Mu Difitl Saber. And how about it's not very easy to do it like that? No Mail Aero And how would you tell someone, It's difficult, but it's not impossible. Es DifilPernos impossible. Es DifilPeros Impossible. Big in Spanish is grande. Grande. And small or little is pequeno. Pequeno. The wavy line known as the Virgilia on top of the N turns the sound into a na, as in onion or spanan pequeno. So can you say my computer is very big? Your computer is very small. Describing words, what we call adjectives in English, go before the word they describe, for example, a large coffee. In Spanish, it's the other way round. They usually go after the noun. So a large coffee is uncferande a coffee large cafe grande. Cafe grande. How then would you say a small coffee? Cafe. U. The word for O in Spanish, as in one thing or another is simply Oh. Oh. So now you can ask, do you want a big coffee or a small coffee? Grande cafe pequeno. Cafe peceno. I want a large beer and a small coffee, please. Kiera grande cafe pecenoPerfavor. Kiruna era grande uncfPekeno Porfavor. No fatty No Puerto No put No Emails Dos Nosto. Es 50. No Puerto. No puedo. Not. No notions. No careratz No cared pecobdo No. No. No. 13. Teléfono, Sé, ¿Dónde?: Welcome back to Elmetodo where we've reached class number 11, meaning we're at the halfway point of the first level. To say the big one, as opposed to the small one, the big one, we say r grande or grande, if referring to something feminine, Erranderande. Randrande So how would we say, Can I see the big one, please? A favor. How would you ask? Do you have the big one or the small one? The big one is easy, but the small one is difficult. I El grande is fathil. Peru Pecheno is difitl. El grandes fatal. Pero Peeno is difiil. And how about you can't do it? Because it's very small. Pepe. A telephone or a phone in Spanish is Utelefono telefono. Do you remember how to say the verb to know? Sabre. To say, you know, we change the ending, and we get Sabis. Sabis. Notice that the stress, the accent here is on the first syllable, Sabis. How would we ask the question? Do you know? Sabis? Sabis. And what about do you know why? Sabes porque. Sabes porque. Do you know why? I don't have it? To say I know it's Jose or simply se. Se. To say I know that as in, I know that it's difficult, I know that it's here, it's S K. The same word as what that and what is the same word. Se K Try to say, I know that I can do it. See puedo. And try saying, I know that it's not very big. Sec no Migrande Second nos ui grande. I know that it's not very easy, but you can do it. Second per. Second The question, where is it in Spanish is Dondesta Dondesta you may have expected it is or is it to be S as we saw before. But in fact, there are two ways in Spanish to say it is S or ta. And these forms come from two separate verbs, both meaning to be. The choice of one verb or the other is sometimes a little complicated. But for the time being, whenever we refer to physical location or situation, we're going to use esta and S will be used in all other contexts. So how did we say where is it? Now ask, W is my telephone? And now try where is the car? I know where it is. Do you know where it is? Sabis nondista In the next sentence, Don't be influenced by the English, don't separate the two words Donde and esta. Donde and esta must stick together. I don't know where your phone is, but I know where your computer is. Telephones den Ador oh 14. ¿Dónde Estás?, Hotel, Aquí: Welcome back. Bien Benito de nuevo. Welcome to lesson 12 of Elmetodo. So then, remembering not to separate Donde from Eta, how do you think we would ask, do you know where the big one is? Sabia grande. SaseTo say you are when we refer to a physical location, we say estas, you are estas. Estas. With the question Where are you, B?esta. And how do you think we would say, I know where you are?esta. What about the question, Can I know where you are now? A And tried to say, Where's my beer? Where's your water? Don deestau Do you remember the verb in Spanish to see B. So try to say, I can't see where you are. And how about I can't see where it is? How would you ask the question? Can you see where my telephone is? And now, do you know where the big computer is? Grade A hotel in Spanish is notel Utel A house is nasa. Una casa. Una casa. How would we ask someone Where's your hotel? And what about where's your house? I Desta tu casa. The hotel is very small. Etel is MyPeeno. Your house is very big. Tu casa is Mui grande. To say here, as in here or there, it's a ki. Aki. And there is a yi. The pronunciation of the double L in Spanish is very similar to a Y. A yi. A yi. And so how would we say it's here, bearing in mind that we're referring to something physical location. It's here. Eta i. Esta. It's not there. Noise da, yi. Noista yi. And how do we say it's very big here, bearing in mind that it's refers to a size, not to a physical location. It's very big here. Grande. Ese now try to say, it's very small there. It's very small there. Eseeno Ai. E. It's not possible here. Noise possibly a key. Noise possibly a key. It's bad here. It's Malo a key. It's Malo a key. It's very good there. It's Mu bueno, a yi. It's Mu bueno, a yi. 15. Time Trial: 16. Ocupado, Hoy, Estoy, Cansado: How did we say you are when referring to one's physical location? Estas. Estas. And what about It is? Esta. Esta. To say I am, again, referring to one's location, it's esto. Esto. So how would we say I'm here, but you are there? Eta. How did we say I know? Se. Se. What about I don't know where I am? Nosto. And now try the question. Do you know where you are? Sabes Dondistas Sabes Destas. Your hotel is there. To hotel. You know that I'm here for you. Sabi questiakiPar a ti. Sasaki, para te. As well as being used when expressing physical location, one situation, to estas and Ita can be used also for temporary states or situations. The word busy is ocupado. Ocupado. If you're a woman or a girl or referring to any female, it's ocupada. Ocupaa. So bearing in mind that busy is a temporary state, how would we say, I'm busy if you're a girl? Esta. And how would you tell a man you are very busy. And how would you ask a girl, Are you busy now? Isadora. And how would a man say, I'm sorry, but I'm very busy now. Loop. The word for today today in Spanish, is Oi. As you can hear, as usual, the H is silent. O. Oi. How would we say I'm not very busy today. Noooo. The way to say tired is cansado or cansada. Canada. How would a female speaker say, I'm tired today? Es toi cansada oi. Es tocada oi. And how would a man say, I don't want to do it because I'm very tired? No. And how would you say? I need a coffee because I'm tired. Feets. I want to know why you can't do it for me today. And how would you say? I can't do it for you today because I'm tired. I don't know why you can't do it like that. I don't want to do it like that because it's very difficult. 17. Esto, Eso, Tengo que, Salir, ¿Cuándo?: Now we're going to learn to say this and that. This is to. That is so. Esto Esso. Esto so. So now I try to ask the question, What is this? What's this? Us to Kusto. You may have been tempted to use esta in this question. But remember, here, we're not talking about a temporary state or a location. We're simply identifying something. So ques esto. And how would we ask, What's that Gas Iso. Gas, Iso. And how would we say, I want to see this? Quiero to Koto. I want to do that. Quiero Aer Eso. Giro Afer Eso. And now try saying, I can't do this today. How would we ask the question? Is this a computer or a telephone? Esto ordenador telefono We could also say, Eestounordnador, Otelepono. Repeat, please, Eestonrdenador, on telefono. Is that a beer or a Coca Cola? I una Tervita Ona Coca Cola. Is Ona Tervita Ona Coca Cola. How did we say I have? Tengo. Tengo. And what was you have? Deans. Denis. Now, the way to say I have to the obligation, I have to do something, I have to is tengo ke. Tengo ke. So try to say, I have to do it. Tengo erloenerlo. Now, the verb to leave or to go out in Spanish, it's the same verb to leave and to go out is salir. Salir. So how would we say, I have to leave? And how about the question? Do you have to leave now? Denis Quesalid Aura. Diensqsalid aura. A common word that most people already know in Spanish is tomorrow. Manana. Manana. So how would you ask the question, why don't you want to leave tomorrow? Man. Tonight is Esta noche, literally this night EstanchEsta Nooch. Estace. Try to ask, do you want to leave tonight or tomorrow? Manana. Manana. The question when is quando. Quando. So ask the question, when do you have to leave? And now ask, when do you want to see it? Why do I have to do it tomorrow? I want to do it tonight because I'm busy now. Pad. And now try the question. When do you have to do it? I have to do it tonight. Tenia danoce. Dance. 18. Time Trial: 19. Cenar, Comer, Seguro: Welcome back. Welcome to Lesson 15 of Elmetodo. As we've come quite a way, here's a reminder of all the important guidelines that we covered in the introduction to the course. In Spanish, to have dinner is just one word. FenarTk of the single word in English to dine Fenar. Fen. Try to say, do you want to have dinner now? Quieres thenar aura. Giora. Where do you want to have dinner? Now, to have lunch, also just one word in Spanish, and to eat is the same word. Come. Come. So how would you say, What do you want to eat? Equis come here. Keq is come here. And identically, how would you say, what do you want to have for lunch? Keq is come here. Keq is come here. And now ask, What do you want to have for dinner? Q thinar. And now ask, Where do you want to have lunch tomorrow? Dan When do you want to have dinner? Do you want to leave now or do you want to have lunch here? I can't have dinner because I'm very busy. And now, try to ask, Are you busy? Sure. In Spanish is seguro or segura. Seguro Sevura. So how would you ask the question, Are you sure a is that seguro? Is Da Seura. Now, to say sure that the word that in Spanish is que que. How would we ask, Are you sure that it's possible? Is ta seguro ques possible Iseesoble now try saying, I'm sure that it's good. Oh Es to seguro Bueno. So. I'm sure that the big one is easy. Esto seguro grandes fathil. Are you sure that the hotel is here? Take. And how would we say, I'm sure that the house is not there. No. And 20. Tener, Hago, Mesa, Silla: The way to say the full verb, the infinitive form to have is ten. Tener. How would you say I want to have it? Tener I try to say, I have to have it. Tengo ten. And how did we say I have? Tengo. Tengo. I don't have. No tengo. No tengo. And how did we say you have Tiens. Dennis. And what about the question? Do you have? Tiens? Denis. And now say you don't have Niens. No tenis. Do you remember how to say the full verb to do? A. A. To say I do or indeed I am doing, these can both be expressed with the same form in Spanish. I do or I'm doing ago. Ago. So how would we say I do it today or I'm doing it today? Lo go. Log. And how about I'm not doing it because I'm tired? Queso. I don't do it here because it's very small. Logo aqui porque. I the way to say you do, or indeed you are doing is Aths. Athis. So now say you do it. Lothis. Loathis. What are you doing? Ge Athis. Geathis. And how do you ask, When do you do it? Gandoloaths. Quandoloths. And now try. You don't do it. Nloathys. Nloaths. I don't do it because it's very difficult. Nolo ago pork modi fitle. Nolo ago pork modifitle. A table in Spanish is una mesa. Una Mesa. And to say O is N. N. So now say the computer is on the table. Ordenada. And now ask, is the telephone on the table? We could also say telefono amesa. A chair is unaca. Remember that the double L is pronounced very similarly to an English Y, Sanaci. Unaca. So now say I need a chair. Nesi una. Ni nasa. And now ask, do you know where my chair is? A 21. Time Trial: 22. Él, Élla, Sabe, Hace.: The proposition N in Spanish is also N. Therefore, how would you say Carlos is in the house? Carlos Eta in a casa. And what about the computer is in the car? I ordenador. Now, do you remember how to say the verb to do? A there. How would we say therefore, I want to do it here. Quiero Aero aqui aqui. I and what was the verb to know? Sabed. So then how would you say I want to know? Kio Shabir. Kia I know. Se. I know where the chair is. And what about UNO? To sabes. Sabis. Now try the question. Do you know that I do it today, or indeed, do you know that I'm doing it today? These would be the same in Spanish. Sabsklog Sabeskgo. Do you know when you have to leave? Sabsquatens Quesalid Now, then, the way to say he in Spanish is L. L. And the way to say she is Aa. Aa. The Spanish double L is pronounced very similar to an English Y with just a hint of J. Aja. The way to conjugate the third person singular for all verbs. That's to say the he or she form is by simply removing the S from the second person, U form. So in the case of sabe, we have, I know Jose, not sabis he or she knows oreja sabe without the S. So to say she knows it's Aja sabe. Sabi. And similarly, the way to say he knows is sabe. Sabi. How would we therefore say he knows why? He knows why? El save porque. Save porque. So following the same pattern as the verb save this time with the verb Ather, what would the he and she form of Ather be? Aja A. Ah. So now try to say he does it. Loathe. Loathe. How did we say the verb to eat? Come. There are two types of verb in Spanish, regular verbs and irregular verbs. Regular verbs all follow the same pattern. Irregular verbs do their own thing. Most of the verbs we've seen so far have been irregular. But this verb here to eat is perfectly regular therefore easy, easy to conjugate. Here we have the first three regular standard forms of the verb joke to come come. I So how did we say I eat? Como. Como. You eat. Gomes. Gomes. And the question, Are you eating? Gomes. Gomez. Now try saying she eats on a chair. Ea una. Come una. And what was the Spanish verb to have dinner? Fenar. Fenar. Thenar is also a regular verb, as all its forms follow a standard regular pattern. Thenar is known as a regular AR verb, and Comer is a regular ER verb. So here are the standard forms for all regular AR verbs on Tua then. So these endings as a never change for regular AR verbs. I want to have dinner there. The way to say you have dinner, as you'd expect, being a regular AR verb, is thenas. Finas. So try to ask the question, when do you have dinner? Guano Guano then. And what about he has dinner, or indeed, he's having dinner? Tena. Tena. And how would we ask, Where does he have dinner? Don Dethena Dondethena. 23. Salgo, Estar: Now, then what was the verb in Spanish to leave in the infinitive form to leave? Salir Salir. So how would you say, Can I leave now? Sal Aura. Puedo Salia. To say I leave, the word is salgo. Salgo. So how would we say I leave tomorrow? Salgo Mana. Salgo Manana. And how about I don't leave today or indeed, I'm not leaving today? No salgo oi. No salgo Oi. To say U leave, it's Sals. As always, the second person singular, the U form ends in an S Salis. Sals. So how would you ask why are you leaving now? Porque Sali SaaPaliaora. To say she leaves, as usual, we remove the S from the second person singular, which gives us Aa sale. Sally. So how would we say he leaves? El Sally. Sally. And what about she leaves tonight? Sally Estach. Sally Estach. How did we say the verb to have? Dened. Danel. I have a beer. Deno una era. Den una era. And how would you ask, Do you have a water? Unaga. Agua Now try saying he has a car. And how about he doesn't have a computer? The way to say to be, that's to say the infinitive form, the verb to be when we're talking about physical location or temporary states is tar. Make sure you emphasize the second syllable, the AR, the last syllable, star star. How then would we say, I don't want to be here? Nokiok I am busy. Esto Are you busy? She's very busy. And now ask, is he tired? The verb tone in the infinitive form tone is necesita. Ni How then would we say, I need? No. No. And tried to say, You need NcitasNitas. And how about the third person she or he needs to do it? 24. Time Trial: 25. Veo, Querer, Soy, Eres, Es: Now, then, do you remember how to say to see in Spanish? Bear. Bar. So how would we say, I want to see it today? Quiero oi. Quiero oi. You've probably noticed that the I form of the verb, the first person singular, usually, but not always ends in an O. So bearing this in mind, how would we say IC? Jobo Beo. Addressing a woman, how would you say? I see that you're busy? I see that you want it. Bee quieres. Beqerz You see, as you may have guessed, is Bs. Bis. Do you see Bis? Bis? And now ask, do you see that it's not possible? Bisk is possible. B possible. She or he sees, following the usual pattern for the third person is loa B. Be. She sees that it's impossible for me. I'm sure you remember how to say I can. Puedo. Puedo. So now I say I can do it. Puedo Puedo Othello. He sees that I can't do it. Can you see my car? Pericar And how about she can leave? We've seen the verb want before, but not yet the infinitive form to want querer. Querer. How did we say I want a Coca Cola? Quiero una Coca Cola. Quiero una Coca Cola. And how about Do you want to have dinner now? Quieren Aura. Quien Aura. Does he want to know Kia. She can leave when she wants. As we've already mentioned, there are two ways in Spanish to express the English verb to be star and S. The distinction between the two is sometimes tricky to grasp. Though for the moment, all we need to be aware of is that star is used for temporary states and physical location, whereas the verb S is used to identify things or people in a permanent manner. Do you remember from the very beginning of the course, how to say I am Maria? Yours Maria. So Maria. Now, again, using the verb s as a means to identify someone or something, the way to say you are is As. Adis. So how would you ask, Are you Jessica? Es Jessica. Hers Jessica. The way to say he or she is is S. S. So how do we say he is David? And now try asking, is she Carolina? Es Carolina. Is Carolina. 26. Español, Americano, Me, Te, Decir: Okay. Welcome back. It's the last class of the first level, the end of the beginning, for which I salute and congratulate you for coming. This farmers, many of those who started will have fallen by the wayside. In fact, the fast majority won't have made it to this point. That's the nature of these language courses. So Philippine Alice to you. And I do hope you'll take the decision to keep following the course. Come what may into level four where you will achieve a full understanding on practical usage of basic Spanish. So let's crack on with Unit 20. Nationality or language. Spanish is a spaniel or Espanola spaniel Espanola. British is Britannica. Oh, Britannica, Britannica, Britannica And American is Americano or I'm Eddie gonna americano Americana. So how would we say I am British showing buddy Danica. Sorry, buddy. Dynamical.
