Episode 4 — Ser: Learn the Verb "To Be" in Spanish | Learn Spanish Podcast

In this episode, Roy and Ania tackle one of the most important verbs in Spanish, ser, meaning to be. Ania walks Roy through the full present tense conjugation: yo soy, tú eres, él/ella es, nosotros somos, vosotros sois, and ellos/ellas son, with a pronunciation check on the double L in ellos and ellas along the way. They then put the verb into practice, using ser to talk about nationality and origin (soy de Polonia, soy de Irlanda) and personality or defining characteristics, with a few playful mix-ups between Polish and Spanish keeping the lesson light. 🇪🇸 Perfect for: Beginners ready to learn one of the core building-block verbs in Spanish and start forming simple sentences about themselves.
