Learn how to talk about eating in Spanish

Say it in Spanish: I eat, I lunch, I breakfast, I dinner, I brunch but I have dessert. Yo como, desayuno, almuerzo, ceno y como postre. In English, eating habits are expressed with nouns. In Spanish, eating habits are expressed with verbs, yes, full action verbs. Learning these verbs will help you avoid starving when you are on vacation and would like to order food in Spanish, it will improve your Spanish in general, and will enable you to be closer to a culture in which you are interested in already. Learning these Spanish verbs will not only improve your Spanish vocabulary but also will teach you to think and speak as a Spanish native speaker does. If you would like to speak as a native speaker this video will help you a lot. Why? Well, because Ana, teaches you how to conjugate Spanish verbs, how to express yourself in Spanish, when to use these food goody verbs. Also Ana will teach you what the difference is between "Yo desayuno" & "Yo almuerzo" -- "I have breakfast" and "I have brunch/lunch". In Spanish, the difference between these two verbs is very important because if you are only having coffee and bread you will name it a "desayuno" but if you are having enchiladas or tacos or sopes or burritos or whatever Mexican fat delight comes to your imagination, you would call this "almuerzo". See, you can just keep reading this description about my Spanish class or you can watch my video and learn these Spanish verbs in Spanish, and hear the Spanish pronunciation, with better results :)

[@pirakoXX]

Like still more people I'm too not rich or even low middelclass, but I just spend 5 dollars of the 20 dollars at my debit card and donated them to Ana. And I'll continue to donate minimum 5 dollars every month. Though this tiny little amount of money does absolutely NOT shows my huge appreciation and respect for Ana, and her amazing way to teach us Spanish and give us so much more, 5 dollars are more than nothing! And I more of us donate at least 5 dollars once in a while, wauw. (y) As you know; nice words surely are very good, but seldom pay for rent, food, etc, or a new red pen for Ana! ;) Come on, Guys, and let's make an extra effort to keep Ana as our teacher! You all know she can't be replaced. There is only ONE Ana in this world! :D

Hi Ana thank you for all the lessons they have been really helpful so far. I have been waiting for a detailed lesson of past, present, and future tense for ar, er, ir verbs. Were you planning on posting anything like that?

[@rolaabdulbaki]

😅

[@Rizwanali-bv1nt]

Hi ana you are good working. I like Spain. I watched your videos and I know some words of Spanish.

[@evalina98000]

Muchas gracias maestra Anna por otra gran lección. In some parts of México I learned that people say "Estoy contento" when they are full. After I said "Estoy lleno" I was politely corrected & told that I would use "lleno" if I was talking about a tire. 😄

[@ButterflySpanish]

Mmmm, no. You could say: "Estoy satisfecho." "Contento" relates to the mood. If you are contento because the food made you happy, great. But lleno is also correct, to say I am full.

[@evalina98000]

Si, satisfecho is the other response they told me I could use when asked if I'd like more to eat & did not want any more to eat. Also when I stay with this family in Zacatecas, I often have the impression from their body language when they say contento they are content.

[@annala2956]

Mexican breakfast is the best. Huevos rancheros is my favorite. Anything with eggs, beans, and hot sauces. There is debate over how necessary breakfast is. Some people eat in shorter windows. There are health benefits to that too.

[@braddojum4188]

Thank you for all these lessons, (Bette than school), please don't stop!! I love them!

Is it possible you can do a class on verb tenses. And a class on tener vs haber

[@ButterflySpanish]

Sí, claro que sí. Por el momento, estos son los significados más comunes :) Tener - To have Haber - There is / There are

[@artesiningart4961]

in my native language Chavacano, a Spanish creole in the Philippines, we don't have these verb conjugations which makes our language a bit easy to learn. Our basic personal pronouns are: Yo I or I am Tu You (singular, common, and with mild respect) Uste/Usted You (singular, formal, with high respect) Vos/Evo/Evos You (singular, informal, with low respect) Ele/le He or She (we don't have genders for pronouns) Kame We (borrowed from another Philippine language, We rarely use "nosotros") Vosotro/Vosotros You (plural, common, and with mild respect) Ustedes You (plural, formal, and with high respect) Kamo You (plural, informal, and with low respect) Sila They (again, we don't have gender in pronouns. This word is from Tagalog or Filipino language) Our articles also don't use gender, so whether it is "maestro" or "maestra" we still use the article "El". Our pluralization is a bit tricky for some follows the Spanish pluralization and some use a Filipino-derived structure for pluralization. So the plural of "candela" can be "las candelas" or "maga candela" depending on speaker. We just have present tense, past tense, future tense, past participle, and progressive tense. Present tense and progressive tense structures are the same. We use base Spanish verbs and we ommit the "r". So "to eat" in Spanish is "comer" but for us it is "come" without the "r" Present tense: ta come Past tense: ya come Future tense: ay come Past Participle: ya come ya Progressive tense: ta come (just the same as present tense but can be identified with other words in sentence)

Comer is a bit confusing for me. In the US we have three meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner. In school we are taught that lunch (the middle meal) is almuerzo. But as I have learned from natives, almuerzo is not quite equivalent to our lunch. Instead, comer. But comer is to eat. So in a medical setting, a doctor wants to know her patient's diet. What do you eat for breakfast (that's easy), but what do I say for lunch? ¿Qué come usted? It sounds too general, what do you eat? How would you phrase it? I have also heard 'lonche' how does this fit in?

[@enriquegranados5179]

What do you eat for breakfast? ¿Qué desayuna usted? What do you eat for lunch? ¿Qué come usted? What do you eat for dinner? ¿Qué cena usted? Almuerzo is a meal you take after the morning coffee and before the lunch,, between 9 or 11 o'clock. Lonche is a word that designate «a lunch»; when a worker leaves home, her wife prepare for him something to eat and the worker or the peasant eats that lunch the moment he wants.

[@TalalAhmed]

Dear Ana, I follow all your vids, and I have a small request. could you please add some pics of the things that are culture specific to Mexico and/or Spain, coz this will be extremely helpful, I know that this will add to the trouble of editing the vids, but as perfect as you are now - for me - this will add a lovely touch and meaning to the lessons. with love and respect Talal
