PRE-INTERMEDIATE COURSE, 2018, CLASS 4

We continued to look at the Continuous in Spanish.....

 Estoy comiendo
Está trabajando


We need two elements......

 Estar               +                verb + ando/iendo

 WE also looked at reflexive verbs in the continuous.....

 Está duchándose
Está levantándose
Está afeitándose
We need the accent to keep the stress and pronunciation regular....

 We then looked at Saludos - greetings
abrazar - to hug
besar - to kiss
inclinar - to bow
darse la mano - to shake hands

 other vocab...
subir - to climb
pintar - to paint
un socorrista - a lifeguard
socorro! - Help!
Primeros socorros - first aid
borbujas - bubbles
las mejillas - cheeks
