In this episode Marina asks the interviews about their families using the question ¿tienes hijos? (do you have children?) or ¿tienes hermanos? (do you have brothers or sisters?).
Here are the words and phrases you’ll need:
Do you have children? – ¿Tienes hijos? (informal)
Do you have children? – ¿Tiene usted hijos? (formal)
Do you have brothers or sisters? – ¿Tienes hermanos? (informal)
Do you have brothers or sisters? – ¿Tiene usted hermanos? (formal)
I have a son – tengo un hijo
I have two daughters – tengo dos hijas
I have three brothers – tengo tres hermanos
I have four sisters – tengo cuatro hermanas
In the first part of the video, watch the interviews without subtitles and try to understand. In the second part of the video, we’ve provided subtitles in Spanish at the top of the screen. You can choose to turn on subtitles in English using the Subtitles/CC button.
In this first series of Coffee Break Spanish To Go, Marina is in the city of Málaga, in the south of Spain, and in each episode she’ll ask passers-by one question. Of course, that one question will result in many answers, and it’s through these answers that you can practise your Spanish and build your vocabulary.
Coffee Break Spanish To Go will be published every two weeks here on YouTube, and each Season will be filmed in a different part of the Spanish-speaking world.
If you’d prefer not to wait for all 10 lessons of Season 1 to be published, you can access downloadable versions of the videos along with audio versions and lesson notes / transcripts in the Coffee Break Academy.
Coffee Break Spanish To Go is based on the popular podcast series and online course Coffee Break Spanish. For access to the free podcasts, please click here.
