The verb To Be in Spanish.
If you are English speaker and you are starting to learn Spanish, maybe this article can be useful for you.
When in English you use the verb To Be, in Spanish we use three verbs: SER, ESTAR Y TENER, it is so difficult subject that I think that it must be one of the most complicated stuff to learn for both: Spanish speakers and English speakers.
In Spanish we use the verb SER for permanent situations. Example.
- Yo soy alto. I am tall and I will always be tall.
-Yo soy español. I am Spanish and I will always be Spanish.
The verb ESTAR is used for temporary situations. Example:
- Yo estoy cansado. I am tired but if I sleep 8 hours tonight, I will feel fine tomorrow.
- Yo estoy gordo. I am fat, but if I eat healthy and I do a little exercice I will be better.
The verb TENER I think it has only one usage in Spanish that it can be a little more difficult if you are Enflish speaker, this is when we speak about age's people. Example:
- Yo tengo 51 años. I am 51 years old.
I am not a teacher, I am only a humble student that can help people like me who want to learn another language.

Holiday in Spain
Today is holiday in Spain. It's Virgin day in Christian religion.
In my city is also "La fiesta de la aceituna". We celebrate the start of harvest of olive tree fruit.
We are the first producer of olive virgin extra oil. This is celebrated with some speeches for the local gobernants and they give every person a bag whith the tipical meal when you are working in the countryside harvesting olive fruit. It consits in a piece of bread, a litle botle of olive oil, a piece of salty cod, some olives and a botle of water.
As I said before we are rhe first producerof olive oil over the world.
Our lanscape are mainly countriesides with thousand, maybe millions of olives trees.

Winter is coming.
Hello
we are in the autumn. It's my favourite season in the year. The days are shorter than the summer. The weather isn't as colder as the winter. It is a good weather to go out and practice sports outside althought sometimes rains.
Many people thinks that the autumn is a little depressive but I don't agree.
Definitely I like the autumn.
