Learn Spanish: When to use "SER" - SOY, ERES, ES, SOMOS, SON

In this Spanish lesson, you will learn the most important ways to use the verb "ser": soy, eres, es, somos, son. You will learn when to always use "ser", and when to never use "ser", which will help you to avoid making mistakes that some people drag for years. This lesson will enable you to become a fluent Spanish speaker but also an accurate Spanish speaker. If you are a person who is starting learning Spanish, this lesson will be key to your learning. If you are a student who has already made progress in learning Spanish, this lesson is crucial to review the basics and have them cemented in your learning. Learning well the basics of a language will really make the road of learning easier to navigate. I guarantee it. Take ownership of your Spanish learning and do not wait until you forget. Let go of your Spanish fears. Though you should still fear some Spanish things like the flu.

[@capwnzor9342]

Thank you for the lesson Ana! Even though I already knew ‘ser’, I wanted to watch your video anyway because I just love the way you teach. I appreciated you also teaching the phrases ‘O sea’ and ‘es mentira’ in this lesson, which I know will be very useful!

Thankyou for your fabulous lessons Ana. Soy londresa 💖

[@3eggerfpv397]

This is a fantastic channel, and Ana is awesome! What would be EXTREMELY HELPFUL, is a lesson plan on what video to watch for your current level of Spanish. There is so much information here IDK where to begin and be able to progress in the best direction. I realize she has 1.07m subs, so I'd have a better chance of hitting the lotto on a reply! So if anyone has suggestions on this, I would really appreciate that very much! Thank you! Happy Holidays!

[@ButterflySpanish]

I will make playlists for what I consider appropriate for levels. Saludos :)

[@michaelsteele4587]

Love your videos and I wish these were available many many years ago when I learned Spanish in my late teens. I didn't have any of this as a reference...I had to learn through pretty much immersing myself in it by spending 98% of my time around friends and others who speak Spanish. I also would listen to musica en Espanol and when I'd hear certain words used often, I'd bust out my English to Spanish dictionary and look up the word which then enabled me to start picking up full sentences...same with watching telenovelas. Now all these years later, I meet a lot of folks much younger than me with Cuban or Mexican parents and I know more Espanol than they do. I ask them why and they tell me their parents didn't teach them because they just didn't find it necessary. Parents...don't let your children lose that part of their heritage. If you don't have the time to help them learn your Native tongue, sit their behinds down and make them watch these videos once a day! They'll thank you for it when its their turn to teach their babies.

Hi Anna: So nice to see and hear you! Great class! It is easy to send you a donation from your website so I hope more people go that way. I think PayPay might be on the way out of business, just my opinion but if so, you might try that thing called: “Buy me a coffee.” Thanks, you deserve all donations for all the work you put into your teaching. Gracias.

[@randomchatter1450]

Podria ser = It could be? Puede ser = can be or maybe. I have learned so much Spanish lessons from watching your channel. I very new to learning how to speak Spanish. My coworker saw me watching your KZbin channel and asked me if Puede ser can also mean maybe or can be in Spanish. He said that I would sound more like a native Spanish speaker if I were to say podria ser.

[@parthshukla793]

Just spent 10 days in Chiapas. Please do a class on dialects within Mexico? B/c Chiapas was *not* the same as Ciudad de Mexico, due to the indigenous influences. I managed okay, but my poor hubby was lost! Yo hable' con la gente de Chiapas, pero entendi' con dificultad. Ah! Que felicidad! Hable' de mi casa y mis gatos, la comida, prices, etc. Mi esposo se enferrmo', alas, en su pulmones. Tu videos me ayudaron a hable' con su me'dico! (Disculpe; mi espan~ol es el peor!)

Thank you Ana. Another enjoyable class maestra. In Mexico I heard people saying "claro" often, but is it true that "propio" which means "self" can also be used for "Sure, of course, go ahead"? Or is propio in Mexico different to the meaning in España?

Vosotros is in the Bible. Knowing the verb forms when I read my Bible is very helpful. Is it not in other Spanish literature that one might read?

It sounds like "o sea" would be "in other words" in english.

[@JuanMoreno-wo5yb]

It is why people all over are now saying “I mean” and the weird thing is that when they say that they DO NOT MEAN, “I mean.” To me they sound dumb. What they do mean is “in other words” or a variety of other short terms like: What I mean to say is… When they start a sentence with: “I mean” that just sound wrong as heck BECAUSE IT IS WRONG! Just saying!
