- 1:50Speaker 1: in previous episodes, Jessica talks about her Ermana sister and
- 1:57Speaker 1: I talk about me ermano. If you're still struggling with
- 2:02Speaker 1: family vocabulary, check out episode sixteen La Familia. I asked
- 2:07Speaker 1: Jessica come os to Hermana. Como is is a question
- 2:13Speaker 1: you use for descriptions. It means what is the person like?
- 2:18Speaker 1: In Spanish, we use the verb ser to be ser
- 2:22Speaker 1: to talk about personality, traits and permanent characteristics. That's why
- 2:27Speaker 1: the question is com os are not comsta com oz
- 2:33Speaker 1: what is somebody like? But comosta how is he or
- 2:38Speaker 1: she doing? So? When you want to know someone's personalities,
- 2:42Speaker 1: say come os plus the person you're asking about. For example,
- 2:48Speaker 1: come os to Padre, what is your father like? Come
- 2:53Speaker 1: os to Hermana, what is your sister like? Come os
- 2:59Speaker 1: to ami go what is your friend like? To reply,
- 3:03Speaker 1: you use the verb sir plus personality adjective. In the dialogue.
- 3:08Speaker 1: Jessica says meremana is plus personality adjectives, and I say,
- 3:15Speaker 1: mermano is plus personality adjectives. After is in English, you
- 3:22Speaker 1: simply add the description. More on that next. Let's go
- 3:28Speaker 1: over the adjectives. But first, did you catch the words
- 3:31Speaker 1: we use in the dialogue. I'll give you a few
- 3:34Speaker 1: seconds to think of your answer. Ready, Let's see. Jessica
- 3:44Speaker 1: says her sister is sympathica, meaning likable, be careful. Sympathica
- 3:52Speaker 1: looks like the English word sympathetic, but is different. Sympathica
- 3:57Speaker 1: means a nice, friendly person, nothing to do with sympathetic.
- 4:02Speaker 1: She also says extrovertida extroverted and a leg tearful. Let's
- 4:10Speaker 1: practice pronunciation slow first, and then add anormous speed. Repeat
- 4:15Speaker 1: after me slow sympatica extrovertiva a legy, normal speed sympathica
- 4:34Speaker 1: extrovertida a legy. Now, let's see how describe my brother.
- 4:43Speaker 1: I use four words in the dialogue. Did you catch them?
- 4:47Speaker 1: They are bobo, petty so so, anti patico, and escort.
- 4:53Speaker 1: This Bobo means stupid or dumb, not the nicest word
- 4:59Speaker 1: to use. It's not a bust as a courseword like
- 5:02Speaker 1: mother care, but still not polite. Let's continue. Petty so
- 5:07Speaker 1: so is lazy and antipatico unpleasant or unlikable. It's the
- 5:15Speaker 1: opposite of sympatico. And finally, this court taste impolite or wrote.
- 5:21Speaker 1: So let's practice this repeat after me slow bo bo
- 5:28Speaker 1: petty so so anti partico. This court taste at anormous
- 5:43Speaker 1: pied bobo petty so so antipatico this court test. And
- 5:56Speaker 1: now that you know the vocabulary, let's listen to the
- 5:58Speaker 1: dialogue again. Ready, here we go, Jessica comstas bienni too
