Beginners Spanish - Ser vs Estar

Question

Hi guys I'm not sure if this will be of any use to any of the beginners out there but I am in the process of writing a few small reference articles on Spanish Grammar etc - the first is a two part lesson about how the verbs Ser y Estar work in Spanish (Part1) (Part2). This is a more complex explanation in my 'Spanish in a nutshell' section. And if you're a visual learner then you might prefer the 'nutshell' lesson presented as a mind map.

I would appreciate any feedback, positive or negative; suggestions etc as well.

That was quick! :) - ajaks, Feb 13, 2012

Answer 1

Very nice Kiwi. The content is clear and concise. One thing though, with the title "beginner lesson-lección para los principiantes" for all your recent blog entries it means you have to click on them to see the subject. Not a big deal obviously. Good Job.

Thanx Teasip, good point, perhaps I'll change it to put the topic first then then level ;) - Kiwi-Girl, Feb 13, 2012

- thanx heaps for taking the time to check it out for me :) - Kiwi-Girl, Feb 13, 2012

Ok done! that was a great point Teasip, it's much better now being able to see the lesson theme showing up on the side, yr the bomb, thanx so much :) - Kiwi-Girl, Feb 13, 2012

Cool, all of the lessons look really great actually. - teasip, Feb 13, 2012

yay :) - Kiwi-Girl, Feb 13, 2012

Answer 2

Once again you have hit the jackpot Kiwi, this is a one hit shop !

At a glance one can easily see not only which verb to use , but why .

It would not take long using this handy tool to get it off pat.

It would be good to print out , carry in your wallet or pin it on the bathroom wall .

Thank you Kiwi , you are a legend ! Please don't beat us up anymore in Rugby ,

take the flaming Bledisloe Cup .Aye !

thanks Ray, lol yes that was a bit of a whipping that you guys took last night aye :( pobrecitos - Kiwi-Girl, Aug 25, 2012

And if you are a visual learner perhaps you will find this mind map lesson to be helpful (it's a little more advanced).
