English has one verb for 'to be'. Spanish has two, and picking the wrong one can change what you're saying completely. Most learners are told that ser is permanent and estar is temporary – which works until you meet mi abuelo está muerto. Rob and Lis swap that rule for one that holds up: ser is for essence, estar is for state (and a little rhyme to remember it). They go through the main uses of each, including the two that catch everyone out – the time, and where a party takes place – then the words that change meaning with each verb (aburrido, listo, rico, guapo) and the four mistakes learners make all the time. Then it's your turn: six sentences to say out loud, and a short conversation before a birthday party – how many of each verb can you count?
