<p>In this episode, Roy and Ania tackle the difference between tú (informal you) and usted (formal you) in Spanish, a distinction that doesn't exist in English. They introduce two new verbs, vivir (to live) and dedicarse (to do for a living), working through the full present tense conjugation of each. Roy then practices switching between informal and formal question forms, for example asking ¿cómo te llamas? with a friend versus ¿cómo se llama? with someone he doesn't know, along with ¿cuántos años tienes? versus ¿cuántos años tiene?, and ¿a qué te dedicas? versus ¿a qué se dedica?. It's a mental workout, but by the end Roy has a clear sense of when to use each form.</p><p>🇪🇸 Perfect for: Beginners ready to learn the tú vs usted distinction and start speaking with the right level of formality.</p><p>🔗 About Your Host (Roy Coughlan)</p><ul><li>Explore more podcasts: Find all podcasts at the PodFather Network</li><li>Website: <a href="https://roycoughlan.com/">https://roycoughlan.com/</a></li><li>Need help running your business?

<p>In this episode, Roy and Ania continue their conversational practice with a fresh round of everyday questions in Spanish. Topics range from possessions (¿tienes una bicicleta?, ¿tienes muchos libros?) to family size (mi familia es pequeña), nationality and culture (talking about Poland, Polish cinema, and its link to Łódź), and personal details like being a student, favorite books, dietary choices, and fears, including a fun mix-up between arañas (spiders) and ananas (pineapple).
