Spanish from Zero

Easy Spanish listening practice • Ser (to be)


Listen Later

¡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.
