Stop the guessing games. Start understanding Spanish.
Know what you’re learning and why you’re learning it. ¡Listos!
Made for people who ask why
Classroom learners, the curious, anyone tired of guessing. Every lesson starts with four answers.
What you're learning
Named plainly, before anything else.
Two words for “to be”: ser and estar.
Why
What it lets you say in real life.
It's the difference between “she's boring” and “she's bored.” Get it wrong and people smile politely.
How to use it
The rule, in plain words.
Ser for what something is. Estar for how it is right now.
In English
Tied to something you already do without thinking.
English makes one “to be” do both jobs. Spanish splits the job in two.
