Episode Description
In this episode, Roy and Ania introduce the verb estar, Spanish's other verb for to be. Ania walks Roy through the present tense forms: estoy, estás, está, estamos, estáis, and están, then explains the key distinction from the verb ser covered in an earlier episode: ser is used for things like nationality and profession, while estar is used for location. They practice with a series of example sentences, including la tarta está en la mesa (the cake is on the table), ahí están las sillas (there are the chairs), el baño está arriba (the bathroom is upstairs), and allí está mi libro (there is my book), giving Roy a clear, practical feel for when to reach for estar instead of ser.
🇪🇸 Perfect for: Beginners ready to tackle the classic ser vs estar distinction and start describing where things are located in Spanish.
