Easy Spanish listening practice • Ser (to be)

¡Hola! Welcome to Spanish from Zero, a podcast for people who are just starting the amazing journey that is learning Spanish. Today’s practice is focused on the verb Ser (to be). That is: I am, you are, she is, etc.

The exercise is really simple. I’m gonna say a couple of sentences, but the subject is gonna be missing. And by subject, I mean the person. So for example, if I say “am from Colombia”, the subject missing from that sentence is I. Your job is to figure that piece of the puzzle that’s missing.

Now, I know this sounds unnatural in English, but it's really common in Spanish! That’s why these exercises are useful, because a lot of the times when we’re listening to people talk in Spanish, we have to fill in the blanks. So this is a super important skill to practice!

Ready? Here are the sentences: 

• Soy de Argentina.
• Es de Perú.
• Eres de Guatemala.
• Son de Colombia.
• Somos de Chile.
• Es doctor.
• Soy dentista.
• Somos amigos.
• Son hermanos.
• Eres profesor.
