All the words and sentences in this video are spoken the way we naturally speak in real life.


Persian stories in spoken form

¡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 🩺

Listening practice for beginners • Talking about occupations

1. - is used at the end of a sentence to indicate a change and to express a definite tone of voice
2. - The particle "了" can also be used in the structure "要/快/就要/快要 +V/Adj+了" to indicate that the action is about to happen or that the situation is about to change.
3. - The negative adverbs "没有" and "了" cannot occur at the same time. For example, you can either say "我没吃早饭" or "我吃早饭了", not "我没吃早饭了". However, the verbs "没有" and "了" can appear at the same time, e.g.: "我没有钱了."
4.- Some adverbs that emphasise the late occurrence of an action cannot occur at the same time as "了", e.g. "刚、才、刚刚", etc.
5.-Adverbs that indicate that the action occurs frequently and "了" cannot occur at the same time, e.g. "经常、常常、每", etc.
