2.7: Telling People How Long You Have Lived Somewhere

This 7th episode brings together the previous few. You'll learn how to tell people how long you've lived in a certain place, and how to understand how long they have lived where they live now. We'll practice in a few different situations.

In this 6th episode, you will learn how to say the word "day(s)," week(s)," and month(s)," and similar terms in Spanish. This is really important if you want to tell someone how long you've been somewhere, how long you're going to be somewhere, or find out how long other people have been in those locations.

Learning numbers in Spanish is probably one of the most valuable things you can do. This is true whether you're just visiting a country and want to negotiate, or whether you're planning on living there long-term. In this 5th episode we're going to learn the numbers 1 through 10.

Let's learn how to ask someone how long they have lived somewhere. In this m-episode, we're going to give you a location and all you have to do is repeat it out loud by adding the words "Cuanto tiempo a vivido en . . . " to the beginning of each sentence.

To understand a conversation in Spanish, you need to understand not only the language but also the culture. In this episode, we talk about the language and cultural notes that came up in the conversation you heard in the previous episode.

In this 2nd episode, we take a look at a basic conversation in which two people discuss a location. That location is Boston, where a Mr. Michael Smith is from. This is a conversation between Mrs. Laura Ramirez & Michael Smith. Mr. Smith has recently moved to Mexico.

This 1st episode welcomes you to Unit 2 of the Live Lingua Spanish podcast. In this unit, you're going to learn how to reply when people ask where you live, count from 1 to 10 in Spanish, talk about how long you've lived somewhere, and how much you like (or don't like) living there.

One of the best ways to learn anything is to visualize it. This is why you see boxers doing a visualization of their practice and shadowboxing. We're going to try the equivalent in language learning. We're going to give you three scenarios. Close your eyes (as long as you're not driving, of course) and imagine you're in the scenarios. You'll say something in Spanish based on what we've learned in this unit. Try to imagine the conversation in your head — either be the person who is asking the questions or answering them. Let's see if you can do it! After listening, check out the corresponding blog post for written exercises and more. Don't forget to subscribe here, rate 5 stars, and leave a review!
