- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Spanish with Fexingo. I am Lucas. Luna: And I am Luna. It is so good to be here with you again. Lucas: We are back in the kitchen. Last episode we talked about baking bread and pouring milk. Luna: Yes. But now I am actually cooking dinner. And it is getting complicated. Lucas: Oh no. What happened? Luna: I am trying to make a soup. But everything looks the same. The spoon moves, but nothing changes. Lucas: That is because you need to use the right verb. You cannot just say 'move'. You need to stir. Luna: Stir. Okay. How do you say 'stir the soup'? Lucas: It is 'revolver la sopa'. Let me say that slowly for you. Lucas: Revolver la sopa. Luna: Revolver la sopa. That sounds very strong. Lucas: It is an action word. Try it. Say it with me. Luna: Revolver la sopa. Lucas: Perfect. Now say it normally. Quick and smooth. Luna: Revolver la sopa. Lucas: Exactly. Revolver la sopa. That is what you do when the soup is thickening. Luna: Okay, I will try that. But wait. The onions are burning. Lucas: Oh! We forgot the prep work. You need to cut them first. Luna: Right. Chopping onions. How do we say that? Lucas: It is 'picar las cebollas'. Listen closely. Lucas: Picar las cebollas. Luna: Picar las cebollas. Is it similar to chop? Lucas: Very similar. Picar means to chop or dice. Try it. Luna: Picar las cebollas. Lucas: Good. Again. Faster. Luna: Picar las cebollas. Lucas: Yes. Picar las cebollas. Be careful not to cry. Luna: Ha. Maybe I should wear goggles. Okay, I have chopped the onions. Lucas: Great. Now add them to the pot. And remember to revolver la sopa. Luna: Revolver la sopa. Got it. So, stir the soup and chop the onions. Lucas: Correct. Now, what else are we making? Luna: I wanted to make bread too. For dipping. Lucas: Bread takes time. You do not just cook it quickly. You bake it. Luna: Bake. Like in the oven? Lucas: Yes. The verb is 'hornear'. So, 'hornear el pan'. Lucas: Hornear el pan. Luna: Hornear el pan. That sounds warm. Lucas: It is a cozy phrase. Repeat it. Luna: Hornear el pan. Lucas: Again. Luna: Hornear el pan. Lucas: Perfect. Hornear el pan. That is your main dish. Luna: Okay. I am standing in the kitchen. My hands are messy. Lucas: What do you feel? Luna: I feel really hungry. How do I say that simply? Lucas: It is the most common phrase. 'Tengo hambre'. Lucas: Tengo hambre. Luna: Tengo hambre. Oh, I say that all the time. Lucas: You do. Literally every day. Try it with feeling. Luna: Tengo hambre. Lucas: There it is. Tengo hambre. Now you understand why you must eat. Luna: I was thinking the same thing. But wait. The soup is done. Lucas: Really? It only took ten minutes? Luna: Yes. I stirred it well. I want to serve it. Lucas: How do you tell someone it is ready? Luna: Is it 'listo'? Just 'listo'? Lucas: Almost. Use the full phrase. 'Está listo'. Lucas: Está listo. Luna: Está listo. That means it is ready? Lucas: Yes. Or 'it is prepared'. Say it. Luna: Está listo. Lucas: Again. Luna: Está listo. Lucas: Excellent. Está listo. Now you can eat. Luna: Let me review. Revolver la sopa. Picar las cebollas. Hornear el pan. Tengo hambre. Está listo. Lucas: You nailed it. Five phrases. One dinner. Luna: It feels manageable. I am not afraid of the kitchen anymore. Lucas: That is the goal. You have the tools. You have the words. Luna: So, if I say 'Voy a revolver la sopa', people know I am cooking? Lucas: They will know exactly what you are doing. They might even help. Luna: Maybe they will bring wine. Since I hornear el pan. Lucas: A smart plan. Tengo hambre already. Luna: Me too. Before we go, let us practice one more time together. Lucas: Ready. Revolver la sopa. Luna: Revolver la sopa. Lucas: Picar las cebollas. Luna: Picar las cebollas. Lucas: Hornear el pan. Luna: Hornear el pan. Lucas: Tengo hambre. Luna: Tengo hambre. Lucas: Está listo. Luna: Está listo. Lucas: Beautiful.
