In questo podcast faccio una descrizione di casa mia, cosa c'è in ogni stanza, quali sono i diversi mobili in ognuna. Parlo anche di alcune cose a livello culturale tipiche italiane sulla distribuzione di alcune stanze.

¡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! :)

This week, I had interesting conversations with my students about destiny. We had conflicting views about it but I wanted to share my insights about destiny, hard work and following your dreams.

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を楽しく勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。


今日は、N3の漢字をやります！
処をやります！　

音読み　しょ
訓読み　ところ、おーく

意味は、決める、場所、ところ、とかそんな感じです。

例えば、

・処分ーしょぶん　ルールを決めて、判断すること

・処理ーしょり　書類、手続きなど決まったとおりに終わらせること

・対処ーたいしょ　問題にあわせた正しいことをすること

・処罰ーしょばつ　罰を与えること

・処世ーしょせい　世の中、社会をうまく生きること


こんな感じですね。
これを使って例文を作っていきましょう！

・この服はもう何年も着てないから処分しよう。

・今日は事務処理が終われば帰れます。

・彼はトラブルに対して、いつも正しい方法で対処します。

・スピード違反で、罰金の処罰を受けた。

・彼は処世術に長けている。


こんな感じです。
