Español coloquial

¿Estás enamorado hasta las trancas?

¡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 🩺

In order to achieve a band score 7 in IELTS it’s important to practice using idioms. Idioms are of high importance if you want to get a band score 7 in IELTS. In fact, it’s very rare for any student to score above a band score 6 in IELTS without using idioms. If it does happen, it only happens once in a blue moon. And since the IELTS exam is so important, it’s a good idea to invest in some private one to one lessons with an IELTS teacher, like me. Lessons don’t cost an arm and a leg and they might help you to achieve the band score you need. Be sure to spend your time and your finances wisely. Invest in yourself and your future. Life is short, and there’s a lot to do. So stop thinking about it, bite the bullet, and take action. Book your private lesson now.
