| klarios | good morning svaye! | 13:53 |
|---|---|---|
| klarios | well afternoon for you | 13:54 |
| svaye | Good morning klarios | 13:54 |
| svaye | How are you doing | 13:54 |
| klarios | I am well thank you | 13:55 |
| klarios | I am sorry we could not meet these past 2 weeks. Everything has been very busy for both of us | 13:56 |
| klarios | how are you doing? | 13:56 |
| svaye | I am okay | 13:57 |
| klarios | good! I saw that you submitted the syllabus Assignment I put up the first week. We will start going off with that syllabus today | 13:58 |
| svaye | Alright | 13:59 |
| klarios | we will start with getting you familiarized with the language | 14:00 |
| klarios | the first lesson will be about nouns, articles, and adjectives | 14:00 |
| klarios | if you go to the E-book I provided you. The first chapter is on that | 14:01 |
| klarios | https://share.mayfirst.org/apps/files/files/38586912?dir=/Spanish%20Learning%20Center/E-Books&openfile=true | 14:01 |
| svaye | I don't see anything in the link you sent | 14:02 |
| klarios | are you able to see the book? | 14:02 |
| klarios | https://share.mayfirst.org/apps/files/files/38586755?dir=/Spanish%20Learning%20Center | 14:03 |
| klarios | click that one | 14:03 |
| klarios | and then click e-books | 14:03 |
| svaye | I have the "Easy Spanish Step-By-Step" downloaded on my computer | 14:03 |
| klarios | yep that one | 14:04 |
| klarios | you can either use your locally installed one or you can use the online one | 14:04 |
| svaye | Alright I will use the locally installed one | 14:05 |
| klarios | it'll be page 20 on the pdf and page 3 on the book | 14:05 |
| klarios | good no worries | 14:05 |
| svaye | I am there already | 14:06 |
| klarios | good. I would recommend splitting the pages | 14:06 |
| klarios | half of your screen will be irc | 14:06 |
| klarios | and the other will be the book | 14:06 |
| klarios | or you can make IRC/ hexchat smaller and then make the book bigger | 14:07 |
| svaye | I am done with that | 14:07 |
| klarios | yes I assume you've read it right? | 14:07 |
| klarios | I was about to ask if you did | 14:07 |
| svaye | Not the entire Chapter, but I am was able to read through it | 14:08 |
| klarios | Since you are using the locally installed version, it will be harder to edit the PDF to input your answer in the exercises | 14:09 |
| klarios | that's alright. Our first lesson is only from page 3-5 | 14:09 |
| klarios | your homework is exercise 1.1 | 14:09 |
| svaye | Alright | 14:10 |
| svaye | Should I write the meaning of the words in the assignment, or should I just know it? | 14:11 |
| klarios | when looking at the trends of feminine and masculine of nouns its important to understand the word and the ending tone | 14:11 |
| klarios | first. Will you write on the PDF or on a sheet of paper? | 14:11 |
| klarios | if a sheet of paper is easier, I recommed that | 14:12 |
| klarios | recommend* | 14:12 |
| svaye | How will you get it if I write it on a sheet of paper? | 14:13 |
| klarios | I would recommend to google each word and try to make sense of it. Link it with synonyms in english as well | 14:13 |
| klarios | You can take a picture and upload it on nextcloud using your phone | 14:13 |
| klarios | or you can send it through telegram and I can upload it | 14:13 |
| svaye | Alright | 14:13 |
| klarios | do you feel confident about genders in spanish after having read the chapter? | 14:14 |
| svaye | I am not sure I understand the question | 14:15 |
| klarios | do you understand the contents of this first chapter? | 14:15 |
| svaye | I understand the contents as it relates to the gender which is masculine and feminine | 14:17 |
| klarios | yes good | 14:17 |
| klarios | and the definite article which is el, la, los, las | 14:18 |
| svaye | which has to do with nouns | 14:18 |
| mulbah has quit (Ping timeout: 480 seconds) | 14:18 | |
| klarios | yes correct | 14:18 |
| klarios | lets do an example in exercise 1.1 | 14:18 |
| svaye | Alright | 14:19 |
| klarios | what definite article would you use for number 12 | 14:19 |
| klarios | el, la, los, las? | 14:19 |
| svaye | la | 14:19 |
| klarios | great! how about number 9 | 14:20 |
| svaye | el | 14:20 |
| klarios | that's correct! | 14:21 |
| klarios | since you're doing so great in this lesson. How about we move further? | 14:21 |
| svaye | okay | 14:21 |
| klarios | now there's a section after exercise 1.1 that talks about -ista | 14:22 |
| klarios | like they mentioned. if a noun ends in -ista, it can be either el or la | 14:23 |
| klarios | depending on who your are addressing/ talking about | 14:23 |
| klarios | it all depends on their gender | 14:23 |
| klarios | now this book is a bit behind on modern standards | 14:23 |
| klarios | now spanish speakers have introduced a new gendered word | 14:23 |
| klarios | for example: instead of saying todos o todas. To included non-binary speakers, they say Todes | 14:24 |
| klarios | this also applies to -ista . Instead of just saying el o la artista you can also say les artistes | 14:25 |
| svaye | so les would mean everyone or all? | 14:26 |
| klarios | this new pronoun has been officially added to the spanish language, but it take people long to learn it. | 14:26 |
| klarios | not entirely. Les is a plural definite article | 14:27 |
| klarios | instead of los o las. les can be used for a group of people who's genders you dont know | 14:28 |
| klarios | when you use a plural definite article you do address everyone | 14:29 |
| klarios | but if you dont know their genders to address them you can just use les | 14:29 |
| klarios | now for singular use its tricky | 14:30 |
| klarios | you have to understand pronouns. We know that el is male and ella is female | 14:30 |
| klarios | the pronoun for non-binary/non-gendered people is elle | 14:31 |
| klarios | pronouns are only used for people | 14:31 |
| klarios | you will only use them when you address people not things | 14:31 |
| klarios | you dont use les or elle for the things shown in exercise 1.1 | 14:32 |
| klarios | you would only use it when talking about someone else or yourself | 14:32 |
| klarios | does this make sense? | 14:32 |
| svaye | yeah it's used when talking about a person | 14:33 |
| klarios | yep | 14:33 |
| klarios | for example on page 5 on the bottom. Instead of saying "El es cantante" you would say "Elle es cantante" | 14:36 |
| mulbahkolleh_ has quit (Remote host closed the connection) | 14:36 | |
| klarios | now the next page is about plural nouns | 14:36 |
| klarios | we have covered them a bit | 14:36 |
| klarios | but in most cases you can add an S to nouns to pluralize them | 14:36 |
| klarios | only if they end in a vowel | 14:37 |
| klarios | if it ends in a consonant or non-vowel word. you add a "LES" | 14:37 |
| klarios | o "ES" | 14:38 |
| klarios | For example: Hospital --> Hospitales, Tren (Train) ---> Trenes | 14:39 |
| svaye | so that means la actitud would be la actitudes? | 14:39 |
| klarios | las* | 14:39 |
| klarios | the definite article for plurals is las, los, les | 14:39 |
| klarios | la would be for singulars | 14:39 |
| svaye | thanks for the correction las actitudes | 14:40 |
| klarios | no worries | 14:41 |
| klarios | Now. let me introduce the book we will be reading next week | 14:41 |
| klarios | if you go to nextcloud and to the spanish learning center, and to e-books | 14:42 |
| klarios | you will see a new book | 14:42 |
| klarios | its called exploraciones | 14:42 |
| klarios | this book will be your immersion to spanish | 14:42 |
| klarios | you will learn prononciation, history, culture, vocabulary, and some grammar | 14:43 |
| svaye | I can't asses it on the nextcloud | 14:43 |
| klarios | you can't open nextcloud? | 14:44 |
| svaye | I don't see the spanish learning center | 14:44 |
| klarios | https://share.mayfirst.org/s/5Bf5MrMRtyC97aa | 14:44 |
| klarios | try this | 14:44 |
| klarios | can you see it now? | 14:44 |
| svaye | yes I am downloading it | 14:45 |
| klarios | great! | 14:45 |
| klarios | you dont have to read anything yet. Just know we will use it in the second half of the class next week | 14:46 |
| svaye | okay | 14:46 |
| klarios | we will spend the first half of class doing the page 6-10 | 14:47 |
| klarios | your assignment for next week is to do exercise 1.1 1-10 and exercise 1.2 1-10 | 14:47 |
| klarios | dont do all 20 words. Just do half of each | 14:47 |
| svaye | Alright | 14:49 |
| klarios has quit (Remote host closed the connection) | 14:51 | |
| klarios | sorry I got disconnected | 14:52 |
| klarios | are you still here | 14:52 |
| klarios | ? | 14:52 |
| klarios | it seems like the bot didnt save what I said | 14:52 |
| svaye | I am still here | 14:53 |
| klarios | great | 14:53 |
| klarios | just giving you some options so that you can input something into the homework turn-in | 14:54 |
| svaye | the last thing you said was "don't do all 20 words. Just do half of each" | 14:54 |
| klarios | yeah that's good | 14:54 |
| klarios | I meant to also say that I need to have something in the homework-Turn in module in decidim | 14:54 |
| klarios | For this time you can send me the photo of the assignment and I will link it on decidim | 14:55 |
| klarios | in the future. I will have you do assignments differently so that they are on decidim or nextcloud | 14:56 |
| svaye | Alright | 14:56 |
| klarios | alright this is it from me. Any questions? | 14:56 |
| svaye | I think I am good, if I have any question during the week I will text you on telegram | 14:57 |
| klarios | please do I can always answer within 24 hours. | 14:58 |
