From YouTube: Language Matters – Spanish in a Minute Episode 2
Description
As part of community outreach from the Office of World Language, Jennifer Hernandez and Joe Wieczorek, Ph.D., offer brief instruction for you in Spanish.
A
B
Word
about
today's
lesson.
The
root
word
for
today
is
Gemma
in
Spanish.
Double
L
has
been
considered
as
a
separate,
sound
much
like
the
Y
in
yes,
this
sound
is
distinctive
in
Spanish.
According
to
what
dialect
of
Spanish
we
speak
for
the
purpose
of
Anne
Arundel's
language
matters.
We
will
pronounce
JA
as
Y
to
teach
you.
However,
some
speakers
of
Spanish
pronounce
double
L
as
JA
as
in
Joe
or
as
JA
as
in
pleasure.
B
B
Expressions
mean:
what's
your
name,
so
how
do
you
know
in
which
situation
something
is
formal
or
informal?
Usually
if
you
use
the
person's
first
name
in
conversation,
it's
an
informal
situation,
as
we
told
you
in
the
last
episode,
if
you
say
profesora
or
profesora,
the
equivalent
of
teacher
in
the
classroom
you're
in
a
formal
situation.
Let's
try
that
out
how
in
Spanish,
formal
or
informal
for
the
following
situations:
como
estas,
como.
D
A
B
Como
se
llama
in
La
si
tu
as
Yanis
a
young
student.
You
would
say
como
te
llamas
to
an
older
woman.
You
would
say
como
se
llaman
one
friend
talking
to
another,
might
say:
como
te
llamas
and
talking
to
Holly
the
dog.
You
would
say
como
te
llamas,
let's
combine
the
last
two
lessons.
Use
your
knowledge
of
Spanish.
To
respond
to
the
dialogue
prompts
greet
me.
B
Ask
me
how
I
am
ask
me
my
name,
let's
review
what
we
learned
today,
one
language
is
learned
in
context
and
I'll
be
using
more
Spanish
than
just
a
few
words.
You
won't
understand
all
of
the
words,
but
you
will
begin
to
understand.
Two
formal
and
informal
situations
use
different
language
forms
3.
When
we
want
to
ask
someone's
name,
we
can
say
vamos
a
Hamas
or
como
se
llaman.
The
word
Yama
has
different
pronunciations,
depending
on
where
one
lives
now.
B
A
Like
to
review
for
you
now
some
of
the
expressions
you
might
know
from
previous
episodes,
what
would
you
say
in
the
following
situations
if
I
say
when
that's
not
chaste
to
you,
how
do
you
respond?
That's
right.
You
probably
remember
that
for
greetings,
you
can
respond
in
the
same
way.
You
can
say
buenas
noches
back
to
me.
So
if
I
say
all
that
to
you,
you
can
say
all
that
back
to
me.
If
I
said,
when
there's
the
s2
you
you
can
repeat
to
me,
when
was
the
ass,
we.
B
Would
like
to
model
a
dialogue
for
you,
since
you
already
know
como
estas
in
como
te
llamas.
You
could
guess
that
the
repeating
word
Gomel
is
a
question
word.
A
key
to
listening
is
to
look
for
words
that
might
be
related,
since
you
already
know
is
thus
listen
out
for
estoy.
If
you
hear
llamo,
you
might
guess
that
it's
related
to
Yama's
a
word.
You
already
know
to.
A
Help
you
out
Jennifer
and
I
are
going
to
model
a
dialogue
for
you,
while
listening
to
the
dialogue,
try
to
get
the
gist
of
what
we're
saying
then
try
to
imitate
the
dialogue
with
someone
in
your
own
house.
Here
are
some
key
words
to
listen
for
the
greeting
asking
my
name
and
asking
how
I
am
after
the
dialogue
will
explain
some
of
the
answers.
Hola.

You
can
say
boy,
that's
no
J's
back
to
me.
So
if
I
say
all
that
to
you,
you
can
say
all
that
back
to
me.
If
I
said,
when
there's
the
s2
you
you
can

to

when
was
the

Would

A
B
A
B
A
You
may
know
Spanish
is
not
spoken
in
the
same
way
in
every
place.
Do
you
remember
when
Jennifer
told
you
about
the
many
ways
to
pronounce
the
word
JAMA,
as
in
the
expression,
como
te
llamas?
That's
not
the
only
word
pronounced
differently
in
some
countries.
The
informal
word
for
you
is
in
other
countries.
The
word
is
was
so
you
could
say
como,
estas
or
como.
Estas
was.
B
Don't
worry
about
what
is
said
where
but
try
to
learn
where
we
speak
Spanish.
Those
of
us
who
speak
Spanish
come
from
Spain
or
the
Caribbean,
including
Cuba,
the
Dominican,
Republic
or
Puerto
Rico.
You
will
find
people
from
these
countries
in
Florida,
New,
York
and
Massachusetts
because
of
people
from
these
in
other
countries,
the
United
States
is
now
the
fifth
largest
spanish-speaking
country
in.
A
Central
America
all
the
countries
except
police
speak
Spanish.
Looking
at
the
map
of
Central
America,
here's
a
mnemonic
device
to
help
you
remember
the
order
of
countries.
The
first
letter
will
help
you
remember
the
order
of
the
countries.
The
expression
is
my
goodness:
eating
hot
nachos
causes
pain
so
that
M
for
Mexico,
cheaper
Guatemala,
Efram,
Salvador
8
for
Andorra's
n
for
Nicaragua
C
for
Costa,
Rica
and
Peter
Pan
of
Panama.
All
stand
for
the
countries
did.
B
A
Is
spoken
in
most
of
the
countries
of
South
America,
with
the
exception
of
Brazil
Suriname,
French,
Guiana
and
Guyana,
the
rest
of
the
country
speaks
Spanish.
So
let's
look
at
the
map
of
South
America
and
we
can
see
Venezuela
Colombia,
Ecuador,
Peru,
Bolivia,
Chile,
Argentina,
Uruguay
and
Paraguay.
The
mnemonic
device
for
South
America
is
very
creamy.
Eclairs
provide
bountiful
calories
and
unwanted
pounds
so.
B
Let's
sum
up
what
we've
learned
today,
although
Spanish
originated
in
Europe
Spanish,
is
now
spoken
in
over
20
countries
of
the
world,
including
in
the
United
States.
Not
everyone
who
speaks
Spanish
speaks
it
in
the
same
way.
You
were
given
some
ways
to
remember
which
countries
speak
Spanish.
If
you're
interested
look
at
the
names
of
the
states
in
the
US,
can
you
tell
which
ones
come
from
Spanish
bueno.
I
Hi
I'm
Jodie
Russi

the
last
time
you
watched
food
for

make
sure
you
tune
in
to
a
ACPs,
TV
and
watch
food
for
thought.
I

Arundel
County,

well

state.
We

always
a
topic.
