Easy Spanish listening practice • Occupations

¡Hola! Welcome to Spanish from Zero, a podcast for people who are just starting the amazing journey that is learning Español. Today we’re gonna practice talking about occupations. Here’s how it usually goes:• ¿Qué haces? (What do you do?)• Yo soy… (I am…)Note that in Spanish we tend to not use articles (a, an) when describing someone’s job title:Yo soy profesora. (Literally: I am teacher)The other thing we have to keep in mind whenever we’re describing someone is their gender. These are the most common word endings when it comes to occupations:• Gender neutral endings:ISTA:el artista / la artista, etc.NTE: el estudiante / la estudiante, etc.• Feminine vs. Masculine endings:O / A: el secretario / la secretaria, etc.OR / ORA: el profesor / la profesora, etc.Okay! Now that the explanation is out of the way, let’s practice a little bit. I’ll say a couple of sentences and you need to figure out if I could be describing a man, a woman, or either one:Es arquitecta 🏗️Es programador 💻Es analista 📉Es presidente 🏳️Es veterinaria 🐾Es electicista 🔌Es asistente 📋Es dentista 🦷Es fotógrafo 📷Es mecánico 🔧Es doctora 🩺✔️ How was it?
