¡Hola! Welcome to Spanish from Zero, a podcast for people who are just starting the amazing journey that is learning Español. Today we’re gonna practice talking about occupations. 

Here’s how it usually goes:
• ¿Qué haces? (What do you do?)
• Yo soy… (I am…)

Note that in Spanish we tend to NOT use articles (a, an) when describing someone’s job title:
Yo soy profesora. (Literally: I am teacher)


The other thing we have to keep in mind whenever we’re describing someone is their gender. These are the most common word endings when it comes to occupations:

• Gender neutral endings:
ISTA: el artista / la artista, etc.
NTE: el estudiante / la estudiante, etc.

• Feminine vs. Masculine endings:
O / A: el secretario / la secretaria, etc.
OR / ORA: el profesor / la profesora, etc.


Okay! Now that the explanation is out of the way, let’s practice a little bit. I’ll say a couple of sentences and you need to figure out if I could be describing a man, a woman, or either one:

Es arquitecta 🏗️
Es programador 💻
Es analista 📉
Es presidente 🏳️
Es veterinaria 🐾
Es electicista 🔌
Es asistente 📋
Es dentista 🦷
Es fotógrafo 📷
Es mecánico 🔧
Es doctora 🩺

How was it? Let me know if you have any questions, and subscribe to get the new episodes as soon as they come out. ¡Gracias por escuchar! :)

はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストの30回目です。先週はアップロードする時間がありませんでした。少し忙しかったです。ついに30回です。前回お話しした、私がホストを務めるウェビナーの詳細が決まりました。日本時間で、6月20日の午前10時から10時45分までです。日本人の先生に向けた内容なので、スライドも会話も全て日本語です。興味のある人は、ぜひ参加してみてください。配信後はYoutubeで公開される予定なので、ライブじゃなくても別の日に見ることができます。

Hello. This is my podcast episode 30. I didn't have time to upload it last week. I was a bit busy. Finally, it's the 30th episode. The details of the webinar I told you about last time, which I will be hosting, have been finalised. It will be on 20 June from 10am to 10:45am Japan time. It is aimed at Japanese teachers, so all slides and conversations will be in Japanese. If you are interested, you are welcome to attend. It will be available on Youtube after the delivery, so you can watch it on another day other than on-air day.

今月でPatreonのアカウントを閉鎖することにしました。本当は続けたかったのですが、私生活も仕事も忙しくなってきたので、更新に十分な時間が取れません。ふりがなを表示するChromeのエクステンションを生徒さんに教えてもらったので、今後はウェブサイトでふりがなが見られるようにしたいと思います。いままでサポートしてくださった皆さん、本当にありがとうございました。

I have decided to close my Patreon account this month. I really wanted to continue, but my personal and professional life has become so busy that I don't have enough time to update it. I have learned from my students about a Chrome extension that displays furigana, so I hope to be able to see furigana on the website in the future. Thank you very much to everyone who has supported me until now.

30回なので、このポッドキャストを作ってきた思い出を振り返りたいと思います。このポッドキャストは、生徒さんのアイデアで始まりました。その時の私はまだコンデンサーマイクとオーディオインターフェイスを持っていなくて、ヘッドセットのマイクで録音していました。音質がすごく悪かったです。音質が悪いエピソード１〜４は、まだPatreonで聞くことができます。

30. ポッドキャストを振り返る

In Chinese, emo has transformed into a slang term. It no longer connects to music but instead refers to feeling sad, melancholic, or discouraged. It’s like saying “I’m in a mood,” but often with a playful or exaggerated tone.

What is the easiest way to get a higher score in IELTS speaking?

Certainly, there are many ways to get a person to be quick at giving an answer, but I found language learners are stuck when expressing themselves.

Have you felt stuck when trying to give an easy answer when answering IELTS speaking questions?

Imagine you'll be asked a question to which you have no answer; you've never heard or seen it occur, nor do you know anyone who does it.

In the mini-podcast, I allow you to express yourself with ease when answering random parts 1, 2, and 3 of the IELTS speaking exam.

Give it a shot, enjoy the listening and learning, and let me train you personally.
