My lesson with Lidia, Dec 30, 2015 Today was my first iTalki lesson. Lidia helped me to think about gaps in my knowledge. I know a lot of words and phrases, but am missing many basic from my Spanish foundation. We reviewed: ¿Qué es esto? ¿De qué material es? ¿De qué color es? ¿Es redonda? ¿Es cuadrada? ¿Es de metal? We also reviewed proper grammar for talking about professions. There is no masculine of "ista" and no pronouns for the equivalent of "a" (un, una) before the profession names when describing my own profession of that of someone else (e.g., Soy periodista, él es pianista, so medico. Goal: Converse out loud with myself while going around my house saying, "Que es esto" and answering myself.
