First let\u00b4s practice the Spanish expressions of confirmation. I will say some of the expressions in Spanish and I would like you to tell me what they mean in English:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Estoy seguro\/a<br \/>\nSin ninguna duda<br \/>\n\u00a1Por supuesto!<br \/>\n\u00a1Hombre, claro!<br \/>\n\u00a1S\u00ed, s\u00ed!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Now from English to Spanish:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What are you talking about?<br \/>\nNo way!<br \/>\nSure<br \/>\nNever!<br \/>\nVery sure<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Let\u00b4s see next if you remember the Spanish expressions of supposition. I will say an expression and you have to tell me if you would use it when you are describing high, medium or low probability:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Supongo que<br \/>\nMe imagino que<br \/>\nA lo mejor<br \/>\nCreo que<br \/>\nSeguro que<br \/>\nQuiz\u00e1s<br \/>\nPosiblemente<br \/>\nPienso que<br \/>\nSeguramente<br \/>\nMe parece que<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Now tell me what expressions of surprise you remember from the original video lesson. How do you say \u201cHow odd!\u201d or \u201cHow strange!!\u201d for example?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Finally, we will practice the Spanish expressions that are used to express concern. I will say a situation in Spanish and I would like you to say an expression that shows your concern.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u00bfD\u00f3nde est\u00e1 Fernando? Ya son las diez y todav\u00eda no est\u00e1 en casa.\u201d <\/p>\n<p><strong>And what would you say to calm the worried person down?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bueno, pues ya hemos terminado la clase de hoy. <\/p>\n<p>I hope you have enjoyed practicing these very useful Spanish expressions. I recommend you to try to use them when you are speaking with a native speaker as this is the best way to remember them.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a1Que teng\u00e1is una fant\u00e1stica semana! <\/p>\n<p>\u00a1Adi\u00f3s!<\/p>\n<p>I hope you are enjoying my weekly interactive Spanish lessons.
