Dos Guiris sin Guía

In this installment of everybody's favorite language podcast, the Guiris break down those confusing little marks you see over a lot of Spanish words.

We break down the differences between verbs related to the senses (i.e. ver/mirar and oír/escuchar).  But  ¡ojo! these verbs can be trickier than you might think so be sure to tune into this episode.

The Guiris break down how to translate "never" and "ever" to Spanish using "jamás", "nunca", and "alguna vez".

In this episode, the Guiris break down some words related to time (todavía, ya, and aún/aun).  If you want to sound like you know what you're talking about when you're speaking Spanish, you'd better have these words down pat, so have a listen to the episode.

In this week's installment, the Guiris discuss whether or not going to college to get a degree in language is worth the time/money or if people would be better off pursuing other language-related opportunities (work abroad etc.).

The Guiris have finally returned for a much-anticipated third season!  Today we talk about masculine and feminine nouns, specifically from the point of view of a speaker whose native language does not have that aspect to it (like English).

The Guiris start off Season 3 with an episode about how social drinking can help a would-be language learner.  Crack a beer (if that's your thing) and listen along!

*Note* We are in no way sponsored by WordReference.com, we just think it's an invaluable resource for learning languages (not only as a dictionary/thesaurus, but also as a fantastically insightful forum).

In this episode, the Guiris tackle two different verbs with a number of different meanings: deber and echar.  Buckle up y'all!

The Guiris have another chat in Spanish, this time about el toreo (bullfighting), touching on both its historical significance and its ethical dilemmas.
