Let's practice. |
Imagine you're Mark's colleague, Jorge Soto. |
You have a wife and a daughter. |
Respond to Mark's question referring to the photo. |
Don't forget to include the word for "yes" at the beginning of your response. |
Ready? |
Mark Lee: ¿Es tu familia? |
Jorge Soto: Sí. Mi esposa, mi hija y yo. |
Listen again and repeat. |
Jorge Soto: Sí. Mi esposa, mi hija y yo. |
Jorge Soto: Sí. Mi esposa, mi hija y yo. |
Let's try another. |
Imagine your Mark's boss, Rosa Reyes. |
You have a husband, daughter and son. |
Ready? |
Mark Lee: ¿Es su familia? |
Rosa Reyes: Sí. Mi esposo, mi hija, mi hijo y yo. |
Listen again and repeat. |
Rosa Reyes: Sí. Mi esposo, mi hija, mi hijo y yo. |
Rosa Reyes: Sí. Mi esposo, mi hija, mi hijo y yo. |
Let's try one more. |
Imagine you're Mark's friend, Rita Rios. |
You have a husband and a son. |
Ready? |
Mark Lee: ¿Es tu familia? |
Rita Rios: Sí. Mi esposo, mi hijo y yo. |
Listen again and repeat. |
Rita Rios: Sí. Mi esposo, mi hijo y yo. |
Rita Rios: Sí. Mi esposo, mi hijo y yo. |
Did you notice how Mark uses tu familia when asking about his friend's and colleague's families? |
¿Es tu familia? |
Is [this] your family? |
In less formal situations, like speaking with a friend or a close colleague, the less formal tu, is more appropriate. |
Tu, "your." Tu (enuciated). Tu. |
