I am back with Rory Foster for an interactive lesson focused on discussing injuries in Spanish. This lesson builds upon one of Rory's lessons at Common Ground International. In this lesson, we practice talking about bruises, cuts, ruptures, breaks, tears, and sprains. We will first present a verb, a noun, and an adjective that all share the same root. Then, we will use this vocabulary in phrases as we discuss these different types of injuries. A big shout out to La Comunidad's teachers, Nelly from Colombia, Gloria from Mexico, and Daniela from Mexico, for reviewing the phrases in this lesson. All Access or Premium Medical Members: Access full show notes, download PDF, and take the quiz within the Spanish for Emergencies Course.Premium Grammar Members: Download PDF.LEVEL - INTERMEDIATE Table of ContentsMoretones 3:54Quemaduras 6:21Cortadas 8:45Desgarros / Desgarres 10:25Roturas 13:22Torceduras 14:55Cierre 16:20Before you go, don't forget to check out Common Ground International's Spanish Immersion Trips to Latin America!

Interview with Rory Foster – Medical Spanish Immersion Trips!

In this lesson, we explore verbs with the body and learn when to use the pronominal (reflexive) vs the non-pronominal form of the verb. While working on our latest series covering common orthopedic injuries in Spanish, I noticed how the verb to say, "I injured my knee," is pronominal: "Me lesioné la rodilla." Whereas the verb to say, "I bent my knee," is not: "Doblé la rodilla." So why is that? We learn this and more in this audio lesson. It’s a tricky subject, so I will try to make it clear through lots of examples.All Access or Premium Medical Members: Access full show notes, download PDF, and take the quiz within the Spanish for Emergencies Course.

Pronominal vs Non–Pronominal Verbs

Grammar From the Medical Spanish PodcastIt's been a while since I published the last lesson in the Spanish Grammar Review podcast. However, that’s not because I haven’t been podcasting about Spanish grammar. I just decided to dedicate the time I have outside of the hospital to my Medical Spanish Podcast and in the Medical Spanish Podcast, we cover a ton of advanced grammar within the context of clinical dialogues. Today’s podcast is an excerpt from our latest Medical Spanish podcast on the Covid vaccines. In this excerpt, we practice making a hypothetical if-then statement using the imperfect subjunctive and the conditional. For this Spanish Grammar Review podcast, I have added a couple of examples where we then practice how to make and if-then statement that is not hypothetical, but reflects a real possibility.

DAR to Express Symptoms

Quick Navigation 		Inherent CharacteristicSubjective, OpinionFollowinng the Exclamation QUÉQuantity Hola! Me alegra mucho estar de vuelta. I am very happy to be back podcasting about Spanish grammar! My last grammar podcasts were in June, when we covered Spanish verbs with prepositions. In this lesson, we are going to learn why the adjective sometimes goes before the noun in Spanish.Where have I been all summer?I also host the Medical Spanish Podcast and with the help of my Spanish teacher from the San Pedro Spanish School, Elizabeth Cortez and my friend and interpreter, Sonja Um-Siri, I have been busy making audio lessons that cover Spanish for prenatal care. We cover a lot of grammar in the medical Spanish lessons and they are made to help us communicate with our patients. Therefore, even non-medical providers understand them and find them useful for learning conversational Spanish.What motivated me to start podcasting about Spanish grammar again?I just took part in an incredible course called Deliberate Spanish offered by a guy named Nacho from Spain. He also has a  fantastic YouTube channel: NachoTime Spanish.  As the name implies, the Deliberate Spanish course taught me to be more deliberate when I practice Spanish. For example, instead of just watching Casa de Flores, I often make it into a study session. When I hear a new word or phrase, I write it down to study later.  Then I organize what I learn into mi cuaderno de dudas, and mi cuaderno de dudas has now become the inspiration for the Spanish Grammar Podcast!Why does the adjective sometimes go before the noun?2:25Now let’s talk about adjectives and the where and why of adjective placement. When you are first learning Spanish, you learn that the you must place the adjective after the noun. However, as you advance in your Spanish-speaking ability, you start to notice that the adjective often goes before the noun.  You may even find yourself instinctively placing an adjective before a noun, but when you stop to wonder why, you can’t say. Well, in this lesson, we are going to learn why the adjective sometimes goes before the noun through interactive examples. I hope you find it helpful. Onward!Inherent Characteristic3:03Usually adjectives follow the nouns they describe, but when an adjective describes an inherent or assumed quality it is usually placed before the noun.The city is covered in WHITE snow.La ciudad está cubierta de BLANCA nieve.OJO: Note the use of the preposition DE in this phrase: “cubierta de nieve.”I want to see the TALL building of New York.Quiero ver los ALTOS edificios de Nueva York.Be careful in the STRONG mountain winds.Ten cuidado con el FUERTE viento de las montañas.OJO: Note the use of the preposition CON in this phrase: “ten cuidado con….”We must take advantage of this PRECIOUS life.Hay que aprovechar esta PRECIOSA vida.OJO: Note the absence a preposition after APROVECHAR: “aprovechar esta vida”In all the above examples, the adjective adds unnecessary information. O sea… If you omit the adjective, the meaning of the sentence would not change.Subjective, Opinion5:20Adjectives may also precede the nouns they describe when they reflect a subjective characteristic or opinion about something.I love these BEAUTIFUL gardens.Me encantan estos hermosos jardines.I’m enjoying a WONDERFUL day.Estoy disfrutando de un MARAVILLOSO día.It left me with this LONG scar.Me dejó con esta LARGA cicatriz.They always have GOOD parties.Los Hernandez siempre tienen BUENAS fiestas.I have GOOD news.Tengo BUENAS noticias.Qualifying something as the BEST or WORSTIt’s the WORST movie of 2008.Es la PEOR película del 2008.It’s the BEST coffee in town.Es el MEJOR café de la ciudad.Followinng the Exclamation QUÉ7:20Often we give our opinion about something in an exclamation preceded by the word “qué.” In this case, the adjective falls before the noun.What a beautiful country.¡Qué hermoso país!What a cute puppy!¡Qué lindo cachorro!However, when you throw in an adverb, such as más or tan, the adjective then follows the noun.What a cute puppy! (más)¡Qué cachorro más lindo!What a boring lesson! (tan)¡Qué lección tan aburrida!Quantity8:36When we use adjectives to describe the quantity of something we place them before the nouns.We have SOME books.Tenemos ALGUNOS libros.The snow covers the ENTIRE city.La nieve cubre TODA la ciudad.You have a LOT of patience.Tienes MUCHA paciencia.I don’t have ENOUGH time.No tengo SUFICIENTE tiempo.As in many of the examples in the earlier sections, you could also place SUFICIENTE after the noun here.I have LITTLE energy today.Tengo POCA energía hoy.I’m looking for ANOTHER opportunity.(Busco o) Estoy buscando OTRA oportunidad.Turn right at the FIRST stoplight.Gire / Doble a la derecha en el PRIMER semáforo.I’m carrying TOO MANY books.Llevo DEMASIADOS libros.I have SEVERAL ideas.Tengo VARIAS ideas.Gracias por escuchar y Hasta la próxima.Si tienes alguna pregunta, no dudes en dejar un comentario.

Adjectives Before Nouns in Spanish

Welcome to another lesson covering Spanish Verbs. In this Spanish grammar audio lesson, we practice using common Spanish verbs with prepositions. As with all my audio lessons, I invite you to speak Spanish with me.  This lesson will focus on verbs with prepositions, followed by the infinitive of another verb.  For example,Verbo + Preposición + Infinitivo Trato + de + hablar.Table of Contents 1:24 Verbo + A 3:40 Verbo + CON 4:59 Verbo + DE 6:35 Verbo + EN In this free audio lesson, we practice many of the verbs below. In the premium lesson: VB04 Spanish Verbs with Prepositions, we practice all the verbs below and the full transcript is included in the show notes. Verbo + A 1:24 ACOSTUMBRARSE A ENSEÑAR A, APRENDER A (To teach / learn) ATREVERSE A AYUDAR A EMPEZAR A, COMENZAR A, ECHARSE A, PONERSE A (To begin) DISPONERSE A. DECIDIRSE A INVITAR A OBLIGAR A NEGARSE A RESOLVERSE A LIMITARSE A VOLVER A Verbo + CON 3:40 AMENAZAR CON CONTAR CON SOÑAR CON CONTENTARSE CON Verbo + DE 4:59 ACABAR DE ACORDARSE DE, OLVIDARSE DE ARREPENTIRSE DE CANSARSE DE DEJAR DE, PARAR DE (To stop doing something) ENCARGARSE DE, OCUPARSE DE (To take charge of something) TRATAR DE OJO: TRATAR DE is also used to say “to be about.” Learn the difference between TRATAR DE y TRATARSE DE and why it is probably wrong to say, “El libro se trata de su vida,” at least according to strict grammarians.  Verbo + EN 6:35 DUDAR EN CONSENTIR EN, CONVENIR EN, QUEDAR EN (To agree to do something) EMPEÑARSE EN INSISTIR EN ESFORZARSE EN TARDAR EN Rellenemos los Huecos This audio quiz is part of the premium lesson: VB04 Spanish Verbs with Prepositions. I read a short story about our cat Schnookies.  As I read, I leave pauses for you to fill in the blanks with the correct preposition.  Nuestro gato siempre insiste __ salir. Se niega __ quedarse en casa más de cuatro horas por vez. Y si tardamos __ llegar a la puerta para dejarlo salir, se pone __ llorar. ¿Y por qué se empeña __ salir? Porque sueña __ cazar conejitos y pajaritos. Justo después de salir por la puerta se echa __ correr al bosque para cazar. Mi marido, a quien le encantan los pajaritos, se cansa __ ver a nuestro gato cazándolos. Por eso, se esfuerza __ enseñar a nuestro Schnookies __ no cazar los pajaritos. Cuando ve a Schnookies persiguiendo a un pajarito, comienza __ gritar, “¡No! ¡No!” Y amenaza  __ mojarlo con un balde de agua. ¿Qué opinas? ¿Schnookies va a dejar __ cazar pajaritos? ¡Lo dudo mucho!; Schnookies es muy listo pero es un gato, No puedes entrenar a un gato. ¡Gradias por Escuchar!

Spanish Verbs with Prepositions

This episode is a rerun from my Medical Spanish Podcast. If you have already heard it there, I do have more to come for the Spanish Grammar Podcast. I will be back within the week to cover common verbs followed by prepositions.Ever wonder why people from Spanish-speaking countries have long names? Today's episode is an off-the-cuff interview with my teacher at the San Pedro Spanish School, Jesus Elizabeth Cortez Cox. She tells us how people are named in Guatemala. I hope you enjoy!Table of ContentsIntroducción a la Entrevista 2:21Su nombre completo 2:55¿De dónde viene cada nombre en tu nombre completo? 3:03El segundo nombre 3:51Los dos apellidos 5:53Machismo tras los nombres 7:33Origen de cada nombre 8:39Conclusión 9:13Upcoming Audio Lessons 9:34Elizabeth and I studying at the San Pedro Spanish School. EntrevistaMolly2:55OK. Tu nombre. Yo quiero escuchar tu nombre completo.Eliza  Bien. Me llamo Jesús Elizabeth Cortez Cox.Molly    3:03¿Y nos podrías explicar de dónde viene cada nombre en tu nombre completo?ElizaPerfecto. Generalmente nosotros siempre pienso que vamos a estar hablando con respecto a las costumbres, a las tradiciones. Aquí específicamente una de las costumbres es que cuando en una familia nace un bebé, sea niño o una niña. Por lo general, lleva el primer nombre tiene que ser el nombre del abuelo de este bebé. En mi caso, por ser niña, mi primer nombre es el nombre de mi abuela, la madre de mí, de mi padre.3:51Y el segundo, pues, fue la elección de ellos. Y esto es algo muy común para nosotros. Siempre es eso y ya llevamos muchos años. Y quizás por esa misma razón, en nuestra comunidad, hay muchas personas que llevan el mismo nombre. Tenemos muchas Marías, muchas personas que se llaman Juana, Juan, José, Pedro, porque se van repitiendo. En las familias, por ejemplo en mi familia habemos 5....6 personas con mi primer nombre. Entonces, para hacer la diferencia se nos da el segundo nombre. Tengo primas que se llaman Jesús, Elvira Jesús, Leyda Jesús, Zulmy Jesús.... todas estas llevan Jesús en su nombre.MollyJesus el nombre de tu abuelo.... Oh, de tu abuela?ElizaEs el nombre de mi abuela. Um hm, de mi abuela. Entonces esto es muy común en estos lugares.5:04O también otra de las costumbres y quizás esto es más religioso, porque a veces se le da el nombre al bebé que nace dependiendo del día que nace. Si hay una fiesta... Entonces, por ejemplo, hoy estamos en día 25 de abril es la fiesta de San Marcos. Entonces, si un niño nace en esta fecha o hoy, estas personas le dan el nombre de Marcos, como para recordar el día que el niño... o el día de su santo. Entonces, esas son algunas de las tradiciones, de las costumbres con referencia al nombre.Molly5:53¿Y los dos apellidos de dónde vienen?ElizaBien, los dos apellidos. El primer apellido es de mi padre y el segundo apellido es de mi made. Y el segundo apellido se va perdiendo con el tiempo. ¿Cómo? Al momento de que la mujer se casa, se le otorga el apellido del esposo. Entonces, de esta manera se va perdiendo el segundo apellido, y generalmente el de la madre. Pero siempre contamos con dos apellidos.Molly6:28Y cuando tú me dijiste tu nombre completo.... ya no, ya no sale el nombre de tu madre.ElizaTodavía yo lo conservo porque no estoy casada legalmente. Ahora vivo con mi pareja. No tenemos una boda civil, ni religiosa. Entonces, todavía lo sigo conservando.MollyEntonces, en tu nombre completo no sale el nombre de tu pareja.ElizaExacto. Al momento en que yo contraiga matrimonio. Ahora ya es una opción. Anteriormente, era diferente. Era casi como ley agregar el nombre del esposo. En mi caso, habría sido Cortés de Quiacain, le agregamos la palabra “de,” como de posesión. Entonces... pero ahora ya es una opción. Si al momento de casarme quisiera adoptar este apellido, bien, lo puedo hacer o seguir conservando el apellido de mi madre.7:33MollyOk bueno. Porque esto de añadir el apellido de tu esposo y con “de” antes del apellido me parece un poco machista.- ¿No?ElizaNo. Yo pienso que sí. No es un poco. Para mí es muy machista.MollyEntonces, es bueno que la costumbre está... esté cambiandoElizaExacto, y es igual con los nombres ahora. Ahora en esta nueva generación ya no se da mucho de darle el nombre del padre o de los abuelos. Quizás en cierto modo hay pequeños conflictos en la familia porque se está rompiendo esta forma de tradición. Ahora hay nombres diferentes, nombres muy... Por supuesto, los nombres de nuestros abuelos son bonitos pero son muy repetitivos. En una familia hay muchas personas con este nombre. Ahora se está cambiando también. Las nuevas generaciones van buscando nombres diferentes a sus hijos.Molly8:39¿Y puedes repetir tu nombre completo? Y vamos a decir de dónde venía cada nombre.ElizaSí. Jesús que es por parte de mi abuela. Elizabeth fue la elección de mis padres. Les gustó ese nombre. Y mi apellido que es Cortés es por parte de mi padre y Cox es por parte de mi madre.MollyPerfecto. Muchísimas gracias.ElizaNo hay problema.9:34	What's to come! Creating audio with my friend Sonja in Guatemala.
