Welcome guys to week four's videos. Today we're going to be going through classroom and university vocabulary in this video and then the next video is going to focus on conjugating and using AR verbs. So as a review I want you to take a moment pause the video and just pronounce these sentences.
When we come back we'll pronounce them together but do take a moment pronounce them and then we'll We'll come back together and do it together. All right, let's go through these together. For number one, I'll pronounce it, and then I want you to pronounce it.
¿Qué quieres hacer mañana? ¿Qué quieres hacer mañana? For number two, yo pagué la cuenta ayer.
Yo pagué la cuenta ayer. For number three, el estudiante. Necesita un bolígrafo para escribir.
For number four. Los libros están en la biblioteca. And for number five, no hay nadie aquí que sepa hablar japonés.
A few things to keep in mind. Whenever you have a G followed by a U, that makes the G hard. So it's pagué.
La cuenta ayer. Um, estudiante, when you have a C and an E together, that makes it soft. So that's why it's C, necesita, um, escribir, escribir.
C and an A, that's a hard C. So remember with both G and C, when they're followed by either A, O, or U, you get the hard sound. And when they're followed by E or I. you get the soft sound for both.
So it's ka-go-gu-he-hi, ka-ko-ku-se-si. And then if you want the G to stay hard whenever you have a E or an I, you add a U. So it's gay and gi.
All right, continuing on. These are the places around campus that we can go and visit. La facultad is any department. So you have la facultad de inglés, la facultad de ciencias, la facultad de lenguas extranjeras, your foreign language department, la facultad de educación o de pedagogía, or your education classes, la facultad de ciencias sociales.
So any subject matter can have its own department. And those departments in Spanish are called facultades. Other places around campus, el gimnasio.
El gimnasio is where you go to work out. Remember working out in Spanish? Hacer ejercicio.
And if you're running, correr. Correr. Here we have la librería, which is your bookstore.
Remember that librería is not library. That's a false cognate. Librería is bookstore. We also have el centro estudiantil.
El centro estudiantil is your student center. That's where you go buy a coffee from Starbucks and sit down and talk to your friends for a while. Tenemos también la biblioteca. La biblioteca is the library.
la biblioteca. Aquí tenemos la oficina la oficina la oficina is just an office um like i have my office in vincent hall mi oficina esta in vincent hall and then we have la residencia la residencia those are dorms like student dorms la cafeteria cafeteria it's your cafeteria cafeteria. So those are like the biggest places. So all of the places where you take classes, facultades, those are the departments, gimnasios, your gym, el apartamento is your apartment. If you have an off-campus apartment, you'd call that apartamento.
And then if you have like a house, a house is your casa, la casa. All right. So ¿Dónde compramos libros? Como Barnes & Noble. ¿Dónde?
What's the name of this type of location? Compramos libros en la librería. En la librería.
En la librería compramos libros. Okay, ¿dónde rentamos libros? ¿Dónde rentamos libros?
¿Dónde rentamos libros? Really, it's not the right word. Prestar, like they lend them, prestar, nos prestan libros. Printar works, though. Es la biblioteca.
En la biblioteca. La biblioteca. All right. ¿Dónde hacemos ejercicio? ¿Dónde hacemos ejercicio?
Ejercicio. ¿Dónde hacemos ejercicio? En... el gimnasio.
Hacemos ejercicio en el gimnasio. ¿Dónde pasamos tiempo entre las clases? Entre is between.
¿Dónde pasamos tiempo entre las clases? ¿Dónde pasamos tiempo entre las clases? And the answer is el centro estudiantil.
El centro estudiantil. The student center. El centro estudiantil. ¿Dónde comemos?
¿Dónde comemos? ¿Dónde comemos? En la... cafeteria in la cafeteria all right there are four sentences down here i want you to tell me where each of these things takes place so identify the places where we do the following activities go ahead and pause the video and once you unpause we'll go through this together You can figure these four out. All right, let's go through these.
Aquí compro. So here I buy. Here.
So aquí means here. I don't know if I've said that before, but aquí. It's right here. Aquí. Aquí compro mis libros de texto.
My textbooks. La respuesta. En la librería. En la librería. In the bookstore.
En la librería. Aquí estudio. how are those examiners so where do you guys study for your exams i'm sure this is going to be like different for everybody um in la biblioteca it's like a really common answer in la residence yes to the antille is another one so like in the dorms in the library um Con mis compañeros de clase y compro comida. Aquí hablo con mis compañeros de clase y compro comida.
I guess it could be la cafetería as well. Yeah, la cafetería is where I buy food, talk to my friends. I would also say el centro estudiantil, like the student center. You can buy food and talk to your friends in the student center as well. En el centro estudiantil.
So here I play the trumpet, trompeta. Partidos are like games, but like basketball games, football games, like events. Game, but like an event. And that's probably going to be in the gymnasium, in el gimnasio.
All right, so classroom vocab. Say it with me now. If you have an R at the end, it still gets trilled. Just like if it's two R's or if it's the beginning of the word, they all get trilled.
All right, for the second one. And that's either a blackboard or a whiteboard. There's not separate words in Spanish.
La pizarra. You can specify la pizarra blanca for the whiteboard. And this is la tiza. La tiza. La tiza chalk.
La tiza. What is he? El estudiante. El estudiante. What is she?
La profesora. La profesora. Profesora is used a lot more in Spanish than it is in English. Profesora, of course, are college professors, but profesores can also be high school teachers. Sub-high school, like in eighth grade and below.
might use the term maestro, and then some countries might use maestro anyway for up to 12, but generally you'll hear like profesor. Finally, for C, la estudiante, la estudiante. Note that words that end in E don't change gender.
They don't shift to A to O. It just stays E, estudiante. La mochila.
La mochila. It's where you put your libros. It's where you put your lápices.
It's where you put your bolígrafos. You put them all in la mochila. And then for B, that would be lápiz.
Los lápices. And then if it's just one, it would be lápiz. Lápiz when it's just one is spelled With a Z. Lápiz.
El lápiz. Los lápices. Bolígrafo is for pen.
Bolígrafo. And here we have la silla. La silla.
The chair. La silla. Okay. ¿Cuál es el escritorio?
So which one is the desk? ¿Cuál es el escritorio? A, B, or C.
Yeah, A es el escritorio. B, mesa. And C, marcador. Marcador.
There's another word in Spanish that you might hear, rotulador, but it's less common. Marcador is the more common. Alright, ¿cuál es el papel?
A, B, o C. El papel es B. ¿Cuál es el?
What is this again? ¿Qué es? ¿Qué es? A.
Es una mesa. Una mesa y un marcador. ¿Cuál es el marcador?
A, B, o C. Right. Marcador is A. Remember that B is mesa and C, that is a cuaderno. Cuaderno.
Cuaderno is C. C is for cuaderno. All right.
Cuál es el cuaderno? Is it A, B, or C? Ah, it's ah, right?
You know that. We just repeated that. Cuaderno. Cuaderno, ah. B is not an escritorio.
That's not the word for when the seat is connected to the desk. This is called a pupitre. Pupitre. It's a student desk.
When it's all together, it's called a pupitre. And then C, of course, is a calculador. Calculador. Calculator. Calculador.
Alright, ¿cuál es la calculadora? La calculadora, C. That's a nice easy one. What was A again?
What was the word that we learned? Pupitre, pupitre. And B, la computadora, the computer, la computadora. And then we can add the word portátil. Portátil.
La computadora portátil. Qual es la portátil? A? No.
B? No. C. La portátil. Portátil, we can also just say el laptop.
Some countries say la laptop. El laptop. And B is el mapa. El mapa.
Okay, cuál es el mapa? A, B, or C? Cuál es el mapa? Yeah, it's B.
El mapa. This is one of our exceptions to the gender rules because it's masculine, but it ends in an A. Okay, what was A again? We learned this word already.
Think of pizza. Pizarra. Pizarra. And then C is calendario. Calendario.
Like a calendar. Calendario. ¿Cuál es el calendario? Yeah, it's B.
We just looked at that word. El calendario. El calendario is B. La pizarra.
El pupitre. Okay. Cuál es el calendario?
It's none of these. This word was supposed to be changed. Cuál es el bolígrafo? Wow, my O is huge.
Bolígrafo. Cuál es el bolígrafo? Yeah, it's A. El bolígrafo.
All right, I want you to tell me what each one of these items is. give me the article as well. Go ahead and pause the video. We'll be back in a minute. Let's go through these. All right.
Number one, el pupitre. Number two, la computadora. or la portátil for portable la portátil la computadora el laptop la portátil for number three la pantalla la pantalla for the screen la pantalla Number four, el mapa. El mapa. Number five, el cuaderno.
Number six, el lápiz. El lápiz. L-A-P-I-Z with an accent over the A.
El lapiz. Number seven, we're talking about the woman. So it's la estudiante. La estudiante.
And number eight, el profesor. El profesor. Now that we've gone through a lot of the vocab, there's a lot more vocab in the actual lingual learning.
Make sure you guys go through that vocab, but let's talk a little bit about how we say there are. So we've already learned two verbs that mean to be, to estar and ser, but neither of these verbs are actually used for saying like this exists, like the student exists, there is a student. To talk about existence in Spanish, we use the word exist.
So, I translates to English as there is or there are. So, to say like there are many students here, we would say hay muchos estudiantes aquí. Hay muchos estudiantes aquí.
Hay un profesor y 20 estudiantes aquí. So, there is a professor and 20 students here. Hay un profesor y 20 estudiantes aquí.
Hay una biblioteca. There is a library. Hay una biblioteca en el campus de Northwestern. And so our question, whenever we want to know how many of something there are, is ¿cuántos?
And this changes with gender and number. So if we're talking about something that's feminine, it's going to be ¿cuántas? ¿Cuántos?
¿Cuántas? And then whatever it is. Cuantos libros hay? We count them up. Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, siete, ocho, nueve.
Hay nueve libros. Hay nueve libros. Cuantos libros hay?
Hay nueve libros. All right, I want you to tell me how many of each of these items there is or there are. I'm going to go ahead and pause the video.
We'll come back together. In a few seconds. All right. For number one, the question is, ¿cuántos pupitres hay?
¿Cuántos pupitres hay? And then the number is cuatro. ¿Hay cuatro pupitres?
For number two. ¿Cuántas computadoras portátiles hay? Hay tres computadoras portátiles. Número tres, ¿cuántas pantallas hay? ¿Cuántas pantallas hay?
How many screens are there? The response, hay una pantalla. hay una pantalla. For number four, ¿cuántos mapas hay?
Then I would say, hay cinco mapas, hay cinco mapas. Número cinco, ¿cuántos cuadernos hay? ¿Cuántos cuadernos hay?
And you would say, hay seis cuadernos. Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis. Hay seis cuadernos. Número seis.
¿Cuántos lápices hay? ¿Cuántos lápices hay? And the answer, hay dos lápices.
Número siete. ¿Cuántas estudiantes hay? And then the response, Hay tres estudiantes. Notice that here for number three, our response was, Hay una pantalla, because pantalla is feminine.
For number eight, ¿Cuántos profesores hay? Our response is, hay. Un profesor. So it shortens down to just un. Hay un profesor.
All right, let's go through our colors. Negro. Say it with me. Negro. Negro is black.
Blanco. Blanco. Rojo.
Rojo. Amarillo. Azul. It's a Z, but it's still pronounced like an S. Azul.
Verde. Morado. Marron.
And anaranjado. However, nine times out of ten, we're just going to say café for brown. Color café. Marron, I hear very... Very seldom.
I hear café all the time. And then anaranjado. It looks like a hard word to pronounce. It sounds like a hard word to pronounce. But Spanish, remember, the vowels are all the same.
Anaranjado. All right. I want you to go through and tell me what color each of these items is.
So here's your colors. Here's your items. Go ahead and pause the video and we'll be back together in just a second. All right, la banana. So the question that we ask when we want to know what color something is, is up here.
¿De qué color es? So I'm going to ask you the question. ¿De qué color es la banana?
¿De qué color es la banana? And you're going to tell me, la banana es amarillo. Amarillo. That's what we associate most with bananas.
El café. ¿De qué color es el café? El café es marrón.
El tomate. ¿De qué color es el tomate? Amarillo, ¿verdad?
No, I think that there are yellow tomatoes though, but it's not like the most common. I think it wants us to say rojo verde, red or green tomatoes. El chocolate, el chocolate. This is where I always get not into an argument, but like into a discussion.
Because like, is chocolate brown or is it black? And then coffee, is coffee brown or is it black? I don't know. I'm gonna go with negro, but I would totally understand if for these two you went the other way.
Fine. The only thing is that like brown in Spanish is generally associated with coffee, so that's why I always say café es marrón, but whichever way. El limón. El limón is lemon and lime, so there's no distinction in Spanish.
Limón. Lemon. lime, limon. It's kind of like how in English there's no distinction between red apples and green apples.
I know that limes and lemons aren't actually the same fruit and apples are just different types of fruit of the same fruit. But anyway, limon is both lime and lemon. And if you say limon, generally it's going to be a lime, but amarillo verde, amarillo verde.
Okay, so that's it for this video. In this video, we went through some classroom vocabulary, some campus vocabulary, and colors. In the next video, we're going to go through how to conjugate AR verbs and also how to use the word me gusta, which are two separate things in the online textbook. But that's good.
It gives you a little bit more practice, a little more time to practice with them. All right. I'll see you guys.
in the second video today.
