¡Hola! Welcome to Spanish from Zero, a podcast for people who are just starting the amazing journey that is learning Spanish.

Today’s practice is focused on the verb Ser (to be). That's the verb we use to talk about someone's occupations, origin and title.

The exercise is really simple. I’m gonna say a couple of sentences, but the subject (i.e. the person) is missing. For example, if you hear “am from Colombia”, the subject missing from that sentence would be "I". 

Ready? Here are the sentences:

Soy de Argentina.
Es de Perú.
Eres de Guatemala.
Son de Colombia.
Somos de Chile.
Es doctor.
Soy dentista.
Somos amigos.
Son hermanos.
Eres profesor.

How was it? You can check out the answers and see how you did here: https://spanishconmar.wordpress.com/2022/03/11/spanish-from-zero-02/

My introduction

В этом выпуске вы познакомитесь с Александром Сергеевичем Пушкиным и его сказкой "о рыбаке и рыбке". Он написал эту сказку в 1833 году. 
Похожие сюжеты есть почти во всех сказках мира. 
Спойлер: дедушка ловит волшебную рыбу, которая исполняет желания. Дедушке ничего не нужно, но его жена хочет получить дорогие вещи и стать королевой моря. В итоге, бабушка сначала получает, а потом теряет всё.
Эта сказка о том, что нельзя быть жадным и нужно ценить всё, что у тебя есть сейчас. 


Russian with a tale

А.С. Пушкин и его сказка "о рыбаке и рыбке"

Have you ever heard the following phrase before: "I have a gut feeling".  How would you describe this feeling? When do we usually use this expression?
This expression is often used to describe an intuitive or instinctive sense or belief about something, even when there may not be concrete evidence or logical reasoning to support it. The feeling is often described as a sensation in the stomach or abdomen, hence the reference to the "gut."
People commonly use this expression when they have a strong sense or intuition about a situation, decision, or person, but they may not be able to articulate specific reasons for their feelings. It's a way of acknowledging and trusting one's instincts or intuition, which can sometimes be influenced by subtle cues or information that may not be consciously recognized.

Here are some useful words and expressions:

1. Curiosity killed the cat : This is an idiom that suggests being too inquisitive or nosy can lead to trouble or unpleasant consequences. It's often used to caution against excessive curiosity.

2.To grip on something: This phrase means to firmly hold onto or grasp something, either physically or metaphorically. It implies a strong and secure hold.

3.To trip: In a physical sense, to trip means to stumble or lose one's balance, often resulting in a brief fall. In a figurative sense, it can also mean to make a mistake or encounter an obstacle.

4. To be surrounded by: This expression indicates that something or someone is positioned all around a particular place or person. It implies being encircled or encompassed from all sides.

5.Hissing sound: A hissing sound is a noise characterized by a prolonged "s" or "h" sound. It is often produced by air or steam escaping through a small opening, or by certain animals as a warning or defensive signal.

В декабре всегда хочется новогоднего настроения, поэтому я начинаю серию новогодних сказок. В этот раз, я кратко расскажу сказку о снежной девушке Снегурочке. Вы узнаете ответы на вопросы: кто такая снегурочка, как она появилась и как она исчезла. 

Внимание: эта история НЕ про внучку Деда Мороза. Внучку Деда Мороза тоже зовут Снегурочка, но это другая девушка. 

Кто такая Снегурочка?
