- Lucas: Hola Luna, ¡bienvenida de vuelta al episodio 34 de Learn Spanish with Fexingo! Luna: Hey Lucas! So good to be back. I've been practicing my Spanish around the house. Lucas: Oh, perfect timing! Because today we're learning the names of rooms in a house in Spanish. Luna: Ohh, I love that. I spend a lot of time in different rooms, so this will be useful. Lucas: Let's start with the kitchen. In Spanish, kitchen is 'la cocina'. Luna: La cocina. Lucas: Yes, la cocina. Try it with me: la cocina. Luna: La cocina. That's nice! Lucas: Now, if you want to say 'I am in the kitchen', you say 'Estoy en la cocina'. Luna: Estoy en la cocina. So 'estoy en' is 'I am in'? Lucas: Exactly. We learned 'en' before. 'Estoy en' is a handy phrase. So, where are you now, Luna? Luna: Hmm, I'm in my living room. How do I say that? Lucas: Living room in Spanish is 'el salón'. So 'estoy en el salón'. Luna: Estoy en el salón. El salón… sounds fancy. Lucas: It does, right? It's like a salon. But it means living room. Next up, bathroom. Bathroom is 'el baño'. Luna: El baño. That's easy to remember! Lucas: Yes, 'baño' sounds like bath. So 'estoy en el baño'. Luna: Estoy en el baño. Good for when you need to excuse yourself. Lucas: Exactly. And finally, bedroom. Bedroom is 'el dormitorio'. Luna: El dormitorio. Like dormir, to sleep. Lucas: Right on. 'Estoy en el dormitorio'. Luna: Estoy en el dormitorio. So we have four rooms: la cocina, el baño, el salón, el dormitorio. Lucas: Yes! And we also have 'estoy en' meaning 'I am in'. Let's practice a mini dialogue. I'll ask '¿Dónde estás?' — Where are you? Answer using the rooms. Luna: Okay. Ask me! Lucas: ¿Dónde estás, Luna? Luna: Estoy en la cocina. Lucas: ¿Y ahora? Luna: Estoy en el salón. Lucas: Muy bien! Now, let's also practice saying an object is in a room. For example, 'la mesa está en la cocina'. Luna: La mesa está en la cocina. So 'está en' for 'it is in'. Lucas: Exactly. 'Está' is the 'he/she/it' form of 'estar'. So 'la silla está en el salón'. Luna: La silla está en el salón. Lucas: And 'el gato está en el dormitorio'. Luna: El gato está en el dormitorio. Aww, a cat in the bedroom. Lucas: Let's do a quick review. What's kitchen? Luna: La cocina. Lucas: Bathroom? Luna: El baño. Lucas: Living room? Luna: El salón. Lucas: Bedroom? Luna: El dormitorio. Lucas: And how do you say 'I am in the living room'? Luna: Estoy en el salón. Lucas: Perfect! Now you can describe where you are at home. Try to use these phrases today. Luna: I will! Thanks Lucas. This was so practical. Lucas: You're welcome. Remember, practice makes progress. And keep learning with Fexingo. Luna: Yeah, see you next time! ¡Adiós! Lucas: ¡Adiós, Luna!
