| Today's
lesson is an exercise in pronunciation. |
| Follow
one of the links below, and listen
to and repeat some of
the vocabulary on the page. |
| Just
listen to the Spanish, and repeat words out loud as many
times as it takes to say them comfortably. |
| You're
working your listening skills
and your imitating skills. |
| What
the heck ... |
| These
are long lists of professions, and you'll definitely need
to learn a word or two of these anyway! |
| You
can take your pick: |
|
Lists
are extensive and take a minute or so to load. Be patient

| If
you want to do an "advanced" exercise with this vocabulary,
say "Soy" plus the word you're using. |
| Leave
off the "el" or "la" --- and you're saying "I'm (a) ______________________. |
| Soy
doctor. |
I'm
a doctor. |

Starting Points in Language
Study:
When talking about your profession in
Spanish, you'll say: "Soy (profession)." In
English we say: "I'm a
lawyer." or "I'm
an artist." There's no need for the middle
word (a or an)
in Spanish. You can only be one lawyer or one artist,
not 2 or 3, ... unless you wear a lot of aliases, which
some authors are known to have.
Also, when learning the professions,
be sure you choose the appropriate gender term for yourself.
If you're a male lawyer, say "Soy
abogado." If you're a female lawyer say:
"Soy abogada."
The word has to indicate which you are.
Just take into consideration
that "el"
and "la"
in front of a word indicate that the word is masculine
or feminine. And LEARN the vocabulary words that way. |
