Hola, my name is Aina and welcome to Tapeo. Thank you so much for purchasing our Spanish A1 course, where we cover the basics of Spanish. You'll learn things like grammar, where we learn verbs and adjectives, how nouns work, vocabulary, like parts of the house, or numbers, colors, telling the time, and many, many more things. Plus, I've added some extras in this. There's going to be tests, guided worksheets, regular worksheets, and you're going to get some tips from me, a Spanish teacher, on not just how to learn Spanish, but on how to learn languages very effectively. At the end of this course, you're going to get a very good understanding of how Spanish works. As I said, we cover the A1 curriculum of the European framework. So, if you finish this, plus some extra work that you will have to do, like speaking and making sure that you can write the long text, you should be able to maybe take a test. I'm very, very excited to share this journey with you, and I can't wait for you to succeed.

See you very soon during our course. Adios! Hola! Welcome to this new section where we're talking about school. It's going to be short and sweet again, as it's only vocabulary. You will have a worksheet at the very end where you can practice writing these words. But mostly, when it's about vocabulary, the best way to do it is repetition, listening and you repeating it. Writing it a few times if needed be, but what is going to stick the most with you is the things that you use the most. So, maybe some of these things you will be using, because I say school objects, but you might be using them in the office. So, the more you use these things, the more that they will be useful to you, and the more that you will remember them. We're going to get started with this video, where we're going to talk about school objects, or just office objects. Some of these are just stationary. Let's go for it. Goma. Goma. Means rubber. Goma. Lapiz. Lapiz. Again, you can always say lapiz. Lapiz. And it's pencil. Bolígrafo. Pen. Bolígrafo. Bolígrafo. Cuaderno. Noto. Cuaderno. Cuaderno. Libro. Libro. Regla. Regla. Ruler. Regla. Estuche. Estuche. Pencil case. Tijeras. Tijeras. Now, this word, like in English, it means scissors. So, in English, you've got a pair of scissors. For us, unas tijeras. So, it's going to be a plural word, even though it means just scissors. Sacapuntas. This is my kids' favorite word. Sacapuntas. Make sure you say the n. Sacapuntas. It means sharpener. But my kids always say it sounds like a naughty word. Sacapuntas. Sharpener. Calculadora. Rotulador. Sharpening. Pinturas. Now, in this case, I'm talking about a plural word. Una pintura. Coloring pencil. But we normally have them as a collective. Pinturas. Coloring pencils. Last one. Pizarra. Now, this is going to be tricky to say because of the sounds that it's got. Pizarra. Ball. Like, it can be a white ball or a black ball. We just call it pizarra, no matter what it is. Pizarra. You could say pizarra to make the R a bit softer and into an S to make it easier for you. Pizarra. I'm going to repeat all these words one more time. As a challenge, if you want, you could try to write these words down and try to see are they masculine or are they feminine. Or try to make the plural of these words. Goma. Repeat. Rubber. Lápiz. Pencil. Lápiz. Bolígrafo. Pen. Bolígrafo. Cuaderno. Noto. Libro. Regla. Ruler. Estuche. Pencil case. Tijeras. Scissors. Tijeras. Sacapuntas. The naughty word. I forgot to say that sacapuntas is a masculine word. And in S it's el sacapuntas. Sharpener. Sacapuntas. Calculadora. Card paper. Rotulador. Sharpie. Pinturas. Coloring pencil. Pizarra. Bol. Pizarra. And that will be all. And I'll see you on the next video with more words related to school. Adiós. Hola. Welcome to the second video where we'll talk about school subjects. Now, again, this might not be very useful for grown-ups, but it is if you take some of these words. It might be useful still for your job or life in general. You talk about things like that. Oh, in school I used to really enjoy geography. I really liked art. Art as a subject is also just art as a medium, I would say. And you've got a couple of languages in here as well, so don't tune out. Right, the first one is matemáticas. The reason school subjects are really nice to learn as well is because it's a confidence booster. Most of them are so similar to English that you will guess straight away what they are. Matemáticas. Math. Matemáticas. Next one. Ciencias. Science. For us, ciencias is plural because we refer to it as all sciences. Ciencias. If it's hard to say, say ciencias. Ciencias. Next one. Historia. In Spanish, when you do that sciences, when you start in your younger years, history, geography are also part of those sciences. And then you do a bit of chemistry and a bit of history in the same subject. I don't know if that's how it works anymore, but it's how it used to work when I was in school. The part of the sciences is historia. Historia. History. Another easy to learn one. Geografía. Geography. Geografía. Now I'm going to do a couple of languages. The first one would be Inglés. Inglés. That's English. For me, it was my foreign language, but for you it would be your main language. Español. Spanish, again, for me it was my main language, but for you it would be your foreign language. Francés. French. Alemán. That one's quite different, it's German. Alemán. Arte. Educación física. Now it translates to physical education, which is basically this. Educación física. And now I'll give you two more sciences to end with. Química. Biología. So química was chemistry. Biología is biology. I'll repeat the words as we usually do, so stay tuned. And make sure that you're repeating all these words because it's very important. Matemáticas. Ciencias. Science. Historia. Geografía. Geography. Inglés. English. Español. Francés. French. Alemán. German. Arte. Educación física. Química. Chemistry. Biología. Biology. I'll see you on the next video. Adiós. Hola. In this last video, in the third one, we're going to talk about things that we found around the school. So it's not just places. It's certain things. Again, this is technically school things, but most of these things that you can find them elsewhere. So don't skip this video. Okay. So we've got the first one, which is Patio. Recreo. That means playground. Patio. Recreo. Comedor. That would be the dining hall. Comedor. Clase. It's an easy one. Clase. Next one is one that you can find somewhere else. Gimnasio. Gym. Gimnasio. Baño. Toilet. Baño. Or bathroom. Baño. Biblioteca. Library. Now, this is a tricky word because biblioteca means library, but libreria, which seems like it's going to be library, means bookstore. We're focusing on biblioteca and I'll remind you about this close friend in the future when we do shopping stuff. Biblioteca. Library. Oficina. Office. Oficina. Cafeteria. Cafe, where you go and buy your lunch. Cafeteria. Taquillas. Taquillas, that would be your lockers. Taquillas. Then, two things that you most likely find in school and nowhere else is profesor. Normally, profesor, college or university teacher or maybe secondary school. Profesor, profesora, if it's a woman. Profesor. Profesora. And you call maestro, maestra. Now, these would be your primary school ones. Maestro. Maestra. Let's recap all those words. Patio. Recreo. Playground. Comedor. Dining hall. Clase. Gimnasio. Gym. Gimnasio. Baño. Bathroom. Biblioteca. Library. Oficina. Office. Cafeteria. Like a cafe or where you buy your food. Taquillas. Lockers. Profesor. Profesora. Maestro. Maestra. The two ways of saying teacher. And I'll see you on the next section because this is the end of this one. Again, repeat these videos. Try to say it out loud a few times and repetition will be the key for the success of vocabulary learning. Adios! Hola! Welcome to this new section where we're going to talk about feelings. The first thing that we need to know when we talk about feelings is how to use them or what verb to use them with because you don't go around saying feliz or enfadado like angry, happy. You say I'm feeling, you're feeling, I'm feeling, how are you feeling? Etc. We'll talk about more practical examples at the very end once we've learned all the vocabulary but before we start I want to point out what to not do. We need to say these feelings using the verb estar which means I am. However, this is a very, very big problem that we're going to have not too far away from now. That means that there's another verb that also means I am which is ser or if you want to say I am it's soy. You must never use these feelings with ser or soy unless you're talking about you're trying to describe yourself. When you're talking about feelings like I am happy estoy contenta because if you say soy contenta it makes no sense. You are a happy person. Fine. Soy contenta doesn't work for different reasons but if you say triste, that one's my favorite one. Estoy triste. Now I'm sad. Right now I'm feeling a bit sad. But if you tell someone soy triste you tell them that you're a sad person. You don't want to go around telling people that you're a sad person. So think about that one when you are doing this. So, again, never unless you're describing yourself in exceptions use soy from the verb ser. You have to use estoy or you can also do me siento. I'm putting them on the side. Estoy and me siento. Estoy means I am. Me siento means I'm feeling. I feel. Estoy and me siento. I'm making a lot of emphasis, I know. That's how important it is. Estoy. Repeat. Me siento. This is our finished video. I just want you to have that thinking. Estoy. Me siento. And I'm giving you two videos with all the vocabulary. Adios. Hola. This is going to be the first video of the vocabulary about feelings. I decided to split it in two because there's a lot and I don't want this to be too much and too overwhelming. In any case, you've got a worksheet with just the information that you don't have anything to do. You just have that information sheet. You can use it to follow with this or you can just leave it. Up to you. Right. Let's get started. The first one is contento or contenta and you can also use the word feliz. We've got three words for this one. It's because contento and feliz mean the same. I'm also giving you contenta because you have to be using, depending if in this case you're a man, you use the masculine. If you're a female you use the female because you are saying how you're feeling about yourself or about someone else. So if it's a man, it goes with masculine with o. If it's a woman you go with a. Unless it's like feliz which just doesn't have a gender so feliz goes with man or woman. contento contenta feliz happy Next one is triste. Triste goes to both. triste sad triste. deprimido deprimida depressed deprimido deprimida aburrido aburrida aburrido aburrida enfadado enfadada angry enfadado enfadada molesto molesta sorprendido surprised sorprendido sorprendida nervioso nervous nerviosa nervioso nerviosa Now I'm going to repeat all of them again but I will only say them in masculine just for convenience and to make it faster. If you just want to know these words you don't need to repeat the masculine and feminine because also you know how that works and I don't. contento feliz happy triste sad deprimido depressed deprimido aburrido bored aburrido enfadado angry enfadado molesto annoyed. The difference is that angry is a bit more than annoyed I would say. molesto sorprendido surprised sorprendido nervioso nervous nervioso That will be all. You're going to have one more video with more feelings coming. Adios! Hola! Right, on to the second batch of feelings and we'll go just straight for it. First one enamorado in love enamorado asustado scared asustado Obviously all of these come enamorado, enamorada asustado asustada Next one, enfermo enferma enfermo enferma preocupado preocupada preocupado preocupada preocupado preocupada tranquilo tranquila calm tranquilo tranquila avergonzado if it's hard to say avergonzada avergonzado avergonzada It's embarrassed avergonzado avergonzada orgulloso orgullosa proud orgulloso orgullosa proud Last one decepcionado Again, a bit of a mouthful decepcionado decepcionada decepcionado Actually, it's a little easy one decepcionado decepcionada disappointed Okay, like before I'm going to go through them and I'm only going to say the masculine version just for speed and to make the video a bit shorter enamorado in love enamorado asustado scared enfermo ill or sick preocupado a bit like preoccupied, worried tranquilo calm avergonzado orgulloso decepcionado And that's it for now I'll see you on the next one Adios Hola Now, I know that I said that I put the feelings in two videos but actually this is an extra and secret more feelings and I've separated them because these ones work differently so the ones that we've learned before go with estoy o me siento but the ones that I'm going to show you now work with tengo tengo doesn't mean I am feeling or I am it means I have in Spanish we're very dramatic and so instead of being hungry we say I have hunger or instead of being sleepy I feel the sleepiness or I have the sleepiness, sorry I have this I own this feeling these are just technically more dramatic but they're just the same so I'm going to show you these with all of them we're going to use the tengo at the start I have and they're not going to have a difference between men and women they're all just going to be the same so first one tengo hambre I'm hungry tengo hambre obviously when you put them together you know that it all sounds like one tengo hambre tengo sueño I'm sleepy tengo sueño tengo frío I'm cold tengo frío tengo calor I'm hot tengo calor this last one is tengo dolor de this one technically means I have pain of but we would use it if we've injured ourselves so my shoulder so I think tengo dolor de hombro it goes into this category and we will review this tengo dolor de once we do the parts of the body but for now I just thought I'd throw it at you so you can just have that one more thing and it's already start to be in your head so tengo dolor de tengo dolor de ok again we're going to go through these few ones tengo hambre I'm hungry tengo sueño I'm sleepy tengo frío I'm cold tengo calor I'm hot tengo dolor de means I have pain of see you on the next one adios hola last video of this collection of feelings we're going to talk about making sentences how it would work and then I'll tell you a bit about what you've got around to work on these the first thing I want you to know is when do you say all of these someone asks you como estas? which you've learned before it's fair game to say how you're feeling oh I'm really happy because I won the lottery I wish so this is something that you would use como estas? estoy because we're talking about yourself estoy and whatever you're feeling if you're at the doctor and he asks you como estas? me siento enfermo would be something fair to say as well it's different situations where someone would ask you como estas? you could use estoy, me siento you can change them estoy and me siento between one and another and it would be fine when you're talking about feelings then you've got this couple of ones that we've learned with tengo that you don't have to worry about masculine or feminine whereas the other ones you have to say if you are a man you have to say with an o and if you are a woman you have to say with an a except if I told you that is an exception all of it is exceptions so the few things that you need to remember como estas? estoy me siento tengo we've talked about them it's quite easy you just put all of these with the feelings that we've learned now I want to talk to you about the worksheets that you have to work on all of these you've got three things, three resources the first one is just a worksheet with information where you've got all the feelings both the ones with estoy and the ones with tengo I've put them only in masculine but because you know how it works you can pass it to anyone the second one you have it's basically that same one about the feelings but you have a word bank and you've got the faces with no words you can either do it with the word bank or to challenge yourself a bit more you cover the top where the word bank is and you try to do it just remembering and there's a third more advanced worksheet where you make sentences now it's very guided there just might be some vocabulary that you don't know yet and I don't want you to get too stressed about it you have got a guide an example of how to use this sentence how it works and you will have to put these words in order at the bottom, so you've got at the top a scheme of how it works then you'll have an example and then you will have some scrambled words and you'll mix and match them to make a good sentence all you have to do is follow what's at the top even if you don't know what it means I think everyone can more or less do this worksheet because you've got that guide on the top to challenge yourself even more I've added that you can do translation obviously of all of these things you will have the answers afterwards so you don't have to learn and that's it for me on this section I'll see you on the next one Adios! Hola! Welcome to this new section and trap up because it's going to be a heavy one this section is going to have a lot of vocabulary related to adjectives so you can learn these adjectives but then you're also going to have a full video about how these adjectives work as to the agreement with the noun so let's not dwell into it let's start with physical descriptions first one, by the way I'm only going to do it in masculine because you'll see that some of these will change into feminine in different ways the masculine, unfortunately again it's a bit sexist but the masculine is the standard form or the form before anything changes, so we always start from the masculine that's why I'm doing masculine and then we'll do the changes right, first one guapo handsome we don't have a different word for beautiful it just becomes guapo guapo next one feo ugly alto bajo short delgado thin gordo fuerte strong débil joven young viejo old moreno with black hair we don't say you have black hair you say you are black haired if that makes sense and same for all the coming hair colors black hair moreno and moreno can be black hair or brown hair, you can also say castaño but moreno would be about everything pelirrojo ginger pelirrojo rubio blonde and then calvo calvo means bold but all of these adjectives, before you get overwhelmed I'm going to write them down I'm going to give you a list with a translation so you don't have to worry about coming back or writing all of these down it's going to be somewhere on the side as usual so you only have to listen to how I pronounce it my advice would be to take the list yourself you give it a good read on your own, then re-watch the video check that you are pronouncing it the right way because in this case there is a lot of words unfortunately now, again, these words will always go with the verb ser soy if you describe yourself soy moreno soy bajo or if you describe someone else es this information, again, will be in your worksheet so you don't have to worry about it but you know, again, in this case it's not estoy because it describes you or someone if you are describing someone, it's going to be the verb ser which again, I've told you so for yourself, you're going to say soy guapo soy feo or if you're describing someone else either a man or a woman, es es guapo es feo, es alta es baja whatever, ok? now, I'm going to go through the list one more time and I'm going to do it fairly fast so we can move on from this video because you've got that information on your worksheet let's go over it guapo handsome, remember that you have to repeat and guapa would be beautiful same word in Spanish feo feo, ugly alto tall bajo short delgado thin gordo fat fuerte strong débil weak joven joven means young viejo old moreno rojo black, or dark rojo rubio blonde calvo bold, that would be old I'm going to see you in a minute for another video with more vocabulary if there's any video that you have to just watch today I'm watching this one next day I'm watching the next one it's these ones because they are again quite heavy don't worry about it take your time I'll see you very soon adios
