Easy Spanish listening practice • Occupations

¡Hola! Welcome to Spanish from Zero, a podcast for people who are just starting the amazing journey that is learning Español. Today we’re gonna practice talking about occupations. Here’s how it usually goes: • ¿Qué haces? (What do you do?) • Yo soy… (I am…) Note that in Spanish we tend to not use articles (a, an) when describing someone’s job title: Yo soy profesora. (Literally: I am teacher) The other thing we have to keep in mind whenever we’re describing someone is their gender. These are the most common word endings when it comes to occupations: • Gender neutral endings: ISTA:el artista / la artista, etc. NTE: el estudiante / la estudiante, etc. • Feminine vs. Masculine endings: O / A: el secretario / la secretaria, etc. OR / ORA: el profesor / la profesora, etc. Okay! Now that the explanation is out of the way, let’s practice a little bit. I’ll say a couple of sentences and you need to figure out if I could be describing a man, a woman, or either one: Es arquitecta 🏗️ Es programador 💻 Es analista 📉 Es presidente 🏳️ Es veterinaria 🐾 Es electicista 🔌 Es asistente 📋 Es dentista 🦷 Es fotógrafo 📷 Es mecánico 🔧 Es doctora 🩺 ✔️ How was it?
