shallonThat's great 13:57
klariosyep yep. before we start I have some planning ideas around getting you the oral immersion you need13:58
shallonI couldn't join the meeting yesterday because I ran out of current, but I am sure Jeff told you about the suggestion I made yesterday morning.13:58
klariosYes! he told me all about that and I saw the logs too13:59
klariosI hope this class doesn't become too much for you to handle13:59
klariosin terms of the homeworks I leave you, do you think its too much?13:59
shallonIt's not too much to handle of I deal with things one at a time13:59
klariosahh i see, youre like me I can't multitask like others14:00
klariosthat's alright 14:00
shallonI posted in the home-work turn in so you can check it out14:00
klariosthat's why I was thinking that in the summer we could start oral immersion14:00
klariosthank you ill check it out!14:01
klariosare you taking any classes in the summer or do you have any big time commitments?14:01
shallonThat would be wonderful, I get super excited when I learn a new word on duolingo 14:01
shallonI don't have classes in the summer 14:01
klarios+1 great you're using doulingo!14:02
klariosduolingo 14:02
klariosthey might even take you faster than I do 14:03
klariosbut spanish is extensive 14:03
klarioslearning little by little is the best way to do it14:03
shallonYou're right 14:04
klariosbut as we go further and further into exploraciones and grammar it will get harder and harder14:04
klariosbut with guidance I am sure you will be able to do it!14:04
klariosIts always amazing to share the learning experience of a new language with someone else14:04
klariosI am currently learning Mandarin Chinese14:05
klariosso it has definitely been a rollercoaster14:05
shallonThat's great 14:06
klariosalright ill move on to how we will do oral immersions14:06
klariosI was thinking we could have a reading club14:06
klarioswe can start basic and short and move up to longer stories14:07
klariosits important to emphasize that grammar and vocabulary is essential for reading14:07
klariosthat's why until the summer we will take special emphasis on that14:07
shallonThat sounds like a good plan14:08
klariosalso its very possible we will have more students in the book class14:08
shallonReally 14:08
klariosit will also be a place for vocabulary pronunciation. If i see a word in the book that you may not know, i will put it down in the chat and pronounce it14:09
klariosyep Charles and Nairuty would truly be interested in taking spanish classes14:09
klariosthey already speak the language14:09
klariosbut would need more immersion14:09
shallonNow I am getting excited!!14:09
klarioshaha that's great to hear! new classmates incominggg14:10
klariosalright lets get started with the other half of exploraciones chapter 1 week 1 homework 14:11
shallonOkay14:11
klariosso on your agenda there is 1.23, 1.24, 1.25, 1.2614:11
klarioshave you taken a look at the exercises14:12
klarioswe can go through 1 of them together14:12
shallonOkay14:13
klarioslets go through 1.23 on page 2314:14
shallonAlright 14:15
klariosif you notice the section " A comprobar" right above the exercise you will see subject pronouns and the verb ser14:16
klariosread through it and let me know when you're done14:16
shallonI am done14:20
klariosgreat! lets get through the first exercise14:21
klarioshow would you address someone who is "Un profesor"14:22
klariosa professor 14:22
klarios"tu" o "Usted"14:23
klarios?14:24
shallonUsted es un profesor14:24
klariossiii. Pero Yo no soy un profesor. Soy Una Profesora14:25
klariospero is used to introduce a contrasting idea within a sentence. It basically means but14:25
klariosgreat! how about Un amigo?14:26
klariosTu o Usted?14:26
shallonTu eres un amigo14:27
klariosyes! 14:27
klarioswell with those I think you'll be able to do the other ones without my help14:27
klarioslets do some in the next exercises14:27
shallonAlright 14:28
klarios1.24 son (are) substitutions (substitutions) 14:28
klariossubstituciones 14:28
klariosor what pronoun you would use to talk about people14:29
klariosnot to address them but to talk about them 14:29
klariosI will do #3: Tu amigo y ricardo. to talk about these people I would have to say "Ellos" 14:30
klariosif I were addressing them I would say "Ustedes"14:30
klariossince I am talking about them without addressing them I say "Ellos"14:31
klariosalso Its masculine because of Ricardo 14:31
klariosand amigo 14:31
klariosa harder one would be #6 "javier y yo"14:32
klarioswhen you include yourself in the situation things change14:33
klariosthe appropriate pronoun would be "Nosotros" 14:34
klariosand as you can see you can only use it in a plural setting14:34
shallonAlright 14:35
klariosdoes that make sense?14:35
shallonYeah 14:36
klariosdo you have any questions about pronouns when not directly addressing others?14:36
klariosor just talking about others14:36
shallonWhen do we use nosotras?14:37
klarioswhen its a femenine subject14:37
klarioslike yo y kei would be nosotras14:37
klarioswhen you say nosotras there's no need to mention names. Its like saying "we"14:38
klariosmake sense?14:39
shallonAlright 14:39
shallonYeah I understand 14:39
klariosgood14:39
klariosa good example of phrase would be: Nosotras vamos a la escuela. The word after nosotras has to be a future tense word though14:40
klariosit can also be a conjugated verb like "ibamos" a la escuela14:41
klariosits called conditional future but that's too advanced for you to learn right now14:41
klarioslets move on14:41
shallonOkay14:41
klarios1.25 is about matching a subject with the remainder of the sentence14:42
klariosso match the number with a letter14:42
klariosfor example 2. Rafael A. Es joven (is young)14:43
klariosnotice how you dont have to use "El" 14:43
klariosto refer to hm14:43
klarioshim*14:43
klariosyou dont have to use "el" because the "es" means is 14:44
klariosrafael is young14:44
klariosnot rafael he is young14:44
klarioses comes from the verb "ser" and in this case its being applied to the subject in present tense14:45
klariosif rafael was not young anymore, the verb es would change to "Era"14:46
klariosrafael era joven14:46
shallonEra means was?14:46
klariosyep era is was14:46
klariossame with referring to yourself. Yo era joven, yo soy joven (Notice how I dont use "es" because I am referring to myself and not to someone else)14:47
klariosyo es joven is incorrect14:48
klariosyo soy joven is correct14:48
klariosdoes that make sense?14:48
shallonYes14:49
shallonYo soy joven means I am young14:49
klariosyep14:49
klariostu eres joven (another conjugation of the verb ser that is used when addressing a person)14:50
klariostu eras joven14:51
shallonYou are young 14:51
klariosyou are young. you were young14:51
klariosyep14:51
klariosalright lets move on to 1.2614:51
klariosthis is a bit harder version of conjugating the verb "ser"14:52
klariosbecause you are appliying it to a reading 14:52
klariostry do it on your own!14:52
klariosand if you need help, before asking me, take a look at the "SER" table in the "a comprobar" section14:53
klariosalso dont hesitate to ask me about the meaning of some of these words14:53
shallon1. Soy14:53
shallon3. Son14:55
shallon4. Somos14:56
shallon5. Es14:57
shallon6. Somos14:58
shallonI can't seem to figure the other two out14:59
klarios thats alright I can help!14:59
klariosVictor y Yo (Subject and I) ------- Estudiantes (Plural) 15:00
klariosVictor y Yo Somos estudiantes15:00
klariosy tu? tambien (And are you also)15:01
klarios"Eres" estudiante?15:01
klariosthe person is referring to you. So the "ser" verb conjugates to "eres" because they are addressing you specifically15:02
klariosthey are asking if "you are also a student"15:03
shallonHow about number 215:03
klariosdoes that make sense?15:03
klariosyep number 2 is also a bit tricky15:03
klariossince you are addressing yourself and someone else in the present tense you would say (somos)15:03
klarioswait nevermind15:04
klariosyou are addressing yourself15:04
klariosnot someone else15:04
klariosyou would say "Soy" 15:04
klariossorry i didnt see it well15:04
klariossoy is the present tense of ser when referring to yourself15:05
klariosyo soy una profesora y soy de el salvador15:05
klariosmakes sense?15:05
shallonYeah 15:05
klariosgreat!15:05
klarioswell we are a bi over time15:05
shallonYeah we are15:06
klariosbut your homework is just to put these into the results 15:06
