Basic Spanish Lesson Or Beginner Spanish Lesson

Today we are going to take a look at a very basic Spanish lesson or beginner Spanish lesson. It's the type of lesson that you would have in your first day of school. Is a typical introduction scenario between two persons.

In Spanish the pronoun " Tu" is used to speak in an informal way (young people or friends) and " Usted" is used as a formal way (used with older people or authorities). So, in this lesson you will learn both, the informal way (tu) is to the left and the formal way (Usted: Ud.) is to the right). Also, incorporated are different ways to ask the same thing.

Luis- Hola, ? Como te llamas/se llama? (How do you call yourself?) ? Cual es tu nombre/ cual es su nombre? (What is your name?)

Cynthia- Me llamo Cynthia. (I call myself Cynthia)/ Mi nombre es Cynthia. (My name is Cynthia)?Y tu/Ud.? (And you?)

L- Me llamo Luis. (I call myself Luis)

C-Mucho gusto (Nice to meet you)

L- Encantado. (You have to say "encantado" if you are male or "encantada" if you are female)

C-?De donde eres/es? (Where are you from?)

L- Soy de Inglaterra./ Soy ingles. (I'm from England. / I'm English)

C- ?De que parte? (What part?)

L- De Manchester. ?Y tu /Ud.?, ?De donde eres/es? (From Manchester, and you? Where you from?)

C- De Estados Unidos. Colorado. (From USA, Colorado)

L- ?De que parte? (What part?)

C- Denver. ?Donde vives/vive? (Denver. Where do you live?)

L- Vivo en Manchester. (I live in Manchester)

C- Ah, yo soy de Denver pero vivo en Aspen. (Oh, I'm from Denver but I live in Aspen)

L- ?De que trabajas/trabaja? (In what do you work?) / ?A que te dedicas?/ ?A que se dedica? (To what do you dedicate your life?)/ ?Que haces/Que hace? (What do you do?)

C- Soy estudiante de economia y trabajo en marketing. (I'm an Economics student and I work in marketing).

L-? Cuantos anos tienes/tiene? (How old are you?)

C- Tengo 36 anos. Y tu/Usted? (I'm 36. And you?)

L-45.

If you are just beginning to learn Spanish, this lesson should be a great way for you to learn basic Spanish. And as I have already said, this lesson is an introduction to the Spanish to help you as a beginner students begin learning the basics of the language. I hope you enjoyed it and that you will begin to interact with speakers of Spanish.
