Ser or Estar (A2)
The verbs ser and estar both mean "to be", yet their usage varies significantly. Mastering these differences is crucial for fluency and natural conversation in Spanish. In this 20-hour vocabulary building course, students will learn how to choose between these two pesky verbs and greatly increase their lexicon to discuss topics heavily reliant on the "to be" verbs.
Prior to enrolling, students must have tested into the A2 level and be able to conjugate regular -ar, -er, and -ir verbs in the present tense while holding basic conversations.
In this course, you’ll:
➡️ Correctly differentiate and use ser vs. estar in various contexts
➡️ Describe people, places, and things with accuracy
➡️ Talk about professions, nationalities, emotions, locations, and temporary states
➡️ Express opinions, conditions, and changes in state
➡️ Master common ser/estar expressions and avoid common mistakes
