In this module we’ll think about domestic spaces, learning the vocabulary of family relations as well as the words for various rooms and furniture.

Up until now, we’ve only learned one of the two words for “to be” (ser). So we could say “I am a kitchen,” but not “I am in the kitchen.” In this module, we’ll learn another word for “to be”: estar. We’ll use estar to talk about being in a location and, as we’ll see next module, to describe emotions.

As always, here’s a playlist to get in the right place to work with estar.

Cami — Aquí estoy
Camila Constanza Silva Ojeda (born 17 February 1994) is a Chilean pop singer and composer, known for winning the first season of the TV series Talento chileno.
