Ser and Estar (to be)5:08
In this essential lesson, you will learn about the verb, to be. This is a tricky verb in Spanish, as ser is a permanent sense of being. You use ser when you talk about your hair color - as that is a pretty permanent thing. You use estar for nonpermanent being. You would use it to talk about how you feel, as that is always changing. There are many examples in this lesson to help you learn the verb well.

Description

Research has shown that memorizing grammar rules is not as important as we thought before. Studies show that students who study through immersion actually learn better. Learning rules is not the same as learning a language. This course gives you exposure to authentic video in which you can hear and practice the language. Many studies done on language retention all point to immersion being the best way to learn a language. You will learn about practical topics. Then you will listen to meaningful conversations. The approach is fun and it allows for ample opportunities to practice your speaking and listening skills!

Who this course is for:

You will need to have time to review listening lessons to immerse yourself in the language.
