Lesson 9: Spanish A1 – Lesson 9: Home and Neighbourhood (hay, estar, ser and Prepositions of Place)
Describe your home and neighbourhood in Spanish using hay, estar, ser and essential prepositions of place in the present tense.
About this lesson
In this lesson we talk about the home and the neighbourhood: what is around you, where things are located, and what their main characteristics are. You will practise the difference between hay (there is/are), está/están (is/are located) and es/son (is/are), as well as prepositions of place such as cerca de, lejos de, al lado de and enfrente de. You will build simple, clear sentences rooted in real everyday situations.
