October 06, 2011 Beginners Spanish Podcast 9 – Ser & Estar
To be or not to be? These two verbs form part of one of the most important areas of your early Spanish learning. Just as in English, you will find them liberally throughout the Spanish language and there are few sentences that don’t need these verbs. The issue is, there are two of them!
And so the question is: “When do you use ser and when estar?”
Listen to our ninth free Spanish podcast for beginners as we start to help demystify the most important use of ser and estar.
We go over ser and estar more in depth in our comprehensive Spanish help-sheets.
