Lesson 4 · 10:11 · Free
I am, you are
Talk about yourself and the person in front of you: estoy for I am, estás for you are, and the gift word listo.
When you hear the tone, pause and answer out loud. Then carry on.

What you learn
- estoy: "I am" (-oy = I, for a few key verbs)
- estás: "you are" (-s = you)
- Gift word: listo (ready)
Builds on Lesson 3: ya, todavía no, questions by intonation, no before the verb.
Sentences you can say
- Ya estoy listo. (I'm ready now.)
- ¿Estás ocupado? (Are you busy?)
- Estoy preparado. (I'm prepared.)
Watch out for
"Está preparado" meaning "I'm prepared" → the ending is the person: Estoy preparado.
