Now, we're going to give you a few phrases — in English — combing all of these. What I need you to do is to say them in Spanish! The first time we're going to give you only the English. The second time, we're going to say it in Spanish (after a short break) to give you the answer. Enjoy this m-episode. Let's get started.

¡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.

¡Hola! Welcome to m-episode 1.10 of the Live Lingua Spanish Podcast. For better or worse, we may actually have to introduce members of our family to the people we meet in Latin America or in Spain — this may be more embarrassing for some than for others! So in this episode, we're going to teach you the basic vocabulary words for family members in Spanish you need to do so. Say them out loud, both in English and Spanish — we promise, it will help you memorize the terms. Without further ado, let's get started with the practice. Enjoy this m-episode. Let's get started.

¡Hola! Welcome to m-episode 1.9 of the Live Lingua Spanish Podcast. In this section, we're going to learn how to say "How are you?" in Spanish in different circumstances. Now, this might sound simple — but in Spanish, we have both formal and informal, and to add another twist in there, it's even more complicated when talking to a group of people. Asking "How are you guys?" or "How are you girls?" has it's own way of being said in Spanish. If you're going to ask one person how they are doing, you'd say "¿Cómo está?" That's formal, but you could make it more formal by saying "¿Cómo está usted? You don't have to add the pronoun, but you can. In an informal setting among friends, you would say "¿Cómo estás?" If we're talking plural, whether three people or a million people, you would say "¿Cómo están?" With the pronoun, that would be, "¿Cómo están ustedes?" Notice that we don't actually have gender differences here, which makes it a little easier. We don't have to worry about Mr. and Mrs. when we're asking this. In this section we practice saying "How are you?" in the formal singular 'usted' or informal 'tú' form as well as the plural 'ustedes' form. Note that in most of Latin America there is no different formal and informal for the plural. Enjoy this m-episode. Let's get started.

¡Hola! Welcome to m-episode 1.8 of the Live Lingua Spanish Podcast. Now that you've learned how to say good morning, good afternoon, and good evening in Spanish, as well as addressing the people you're talking to, let's move on to the next step and learn how to how to introduce yourself in Spanish! When you introduce yourself, the only phrase you really need to know is "Yo soy" – "I am." You put this phrase in front of your name and you've done it! "Yo soy Ray Blakney" — "I am Ray Blakney". In this example, we'll pretend you are introducing yourself. To make it more complicated, replace the names we give you with your own name so that you can practice using the phrase as you will in a Spanish speaking country. Practice introducing yourself at the phrase "yo soy" (I am) to the front of each Spanish phrase. Example: El señor Jack Smith -> Yo soy el Señor Jack Smith. La doctora Jane Sánchez -> Yo soy la doctora Jane Sánchez. Enjoy this m-episode. Let's get started.

¡Hola! Welcome to m-episode 1.7 of the Live Lingua Spanish Podcast. In this episode, we're going to practice the Spanish greetings and honorifics you learned in the past episodes. We're going to do this by giving you the time of day and the subject of the conversation. Perhaps "married female" or "Dr. Ramirez." From that, we're going to ask you to come up with the correct greeting for this person. Example: Morning – Married female -> Buenos días, señora. Afternoon – Doctor Ramírez -> Buenas tardes, doctor Ramírez (where it is implied that Dr. Ramírez is a man). When you hear the time of day and title of the person in English, create the greeting in Spanish. The first time through, we will only say the question so you can come up with the answer. Then we will go through the questions a second time and include the correct answer in Spanish. Do try it the first time through yourself — you don't want to just blindly repeat what we say!

¡Hola! Welcome to episode 1.6 of the Live Lingua Spanish Spanish Podcast. What we're going to do in this section is bring it all together! We're going to combine what you've learned in the past few episodes about Spanish greetings and honorifics. In this m-episode we are going to practice a little bit. When you hear a phrase in Spanish, we want you to translate it into English. Say it out loud if you can, because that's one of the best ways to learn. Here are some examples: If we say, "Buenos Dias, Señor Smith." You would say, "Good morning, Mr. Smith." If we say, "Buenas Noches, Licienciada Sanchez." That translates to, "Good evening, Mrs. Sanchez," but we're also implying that Mrs. Sanchez has a Bachelor of Arts Degree. Is that clear? Don't worry if not, because we're going to go through all of this and our exercises are pretty much the same — and you can repeat this episode as many times as you need. Enjoy this m-episode.

Welcome to episode 1.5 of the Live Lingua Spanish Podcast. In this m-episode, we are going to learn about honorifics in Spanish. I'll be honest — when I started learning Spanish, I didn't actually know what an honorific was. It wasn't until I started learning another language that I actually learned that that was the word we use for titles — such as Mrs., Mr., and Dr. In this exercise, we're going to learn some of these titles. Side note — In Mexico and the rest of Latin America, they put a lot of emphasis on these titles. It's very important that you call them Señor, Señora, Señorita. If you know they have a college degree or a Masters, they even have a title for that — and you're going to learn this in this episode. It can be difficult for somebody who is not a native Spanish speaker to pick up on this in the beginning. But really put in the effort — in addition to the titles, you have to remember the gender.
