¡Hola! Welcome to m-episode 1.11 of the Live Lingua Spanish Podcast.
Let's practice introducing your family members in Spanish. To introduce others we will use the phrase 'le presento' which means 'may I introduce you to'.
This is followed by my 'mi' if you are introducing a family member since you are implying a relationship with you.
Example:
Le presento a mi esposo -> May I introduce you to my husband. If you are introducing a person by their first name, without including their title, you add an 'a' before the name:
Example:
Le presento a Ray Blakney -> May I introduce you to Ray Blakney.
If you are introducing a person with their title you add either an 'a la' if they are female or 'al', spelled 'A-L' if they are male. That is just a contraction of 'a el'.
Example:
Le presento a la doctora Sánchez -> May I introduce you to Dr. Sánchez.
Now, repeat all the following phrases out loud, but add the word 'le presento' at the beginning of each one. Example:
A mi hijo -> Le presento a mi hijo.
Enjoy this m-episode. Let's get started. Empezamos.
