¡Bienvenidas a un año nuevo! Comenzaremos con la Lección A del libro ¡Aventura! Español 2. La Lección A, Vocabulario I, se llama "La Tecnología." La Lección A, Vocabulario II, se llama "De Compras."
We will start (empezaremos/comenzaremos) with Vocabulario I on page 2: el e-mail, el celular (o teléfono celular), el vínculo, el cuarto de charla, el motor de búsqueda, el programa, el mundo, el fax, Marta escribe un e-mail y navega en la internet, a Marta le gusta mucho la tecnología; and the following vocabulary from this lesson: la tecnología, la internet, la información, la comunicación, siempre, mucho, a veces, muy poco, nunca, pronto, navegar, la red, la información, la página de internet (o sitio Web), la página Web, conectados, conectado(a), punto, arroba, aburridos, aburrido(a), ocupados, ocupado(a), bueno(a), malo(a). Please translate these vocabulario. You will also translate all the Diálogos from each chapter and must be able to understand and complete most of the exercises from each chapter.
You will also learn, and in some cases review, the following verbs: tener, hacer, ir, preguntar, usar, enviar, mandar, navegar, hablar, conseguir, seguir, buscar, leer, comprar, viajar, escribir, aprender, recibir, encontrar, ayudar (you MUST know their meanings). Also the verbs on pages 6 and 7 (LIBRO). It's important to review the endings of -AR, -ER and -IR verbs, and also review the Stem-Changing verbs. You MUST already know very well the verbs Ser and Estar.
You will learn gerunds (present participles) in Spanish and the present progressive (page 9). We will practice this for a while, I need to make sure that you understand it very well. You use the present progressive tense to say what is happening RIGHT NOW (the present progressive is used to emphasize that an action is in progress at the time of speaking). It is formed by combining the present tense of the verbo estar and the present participle (gerund) of a verb: ESTAR + GERUNDIO (so please review the "verbo estar"). The following are the present progressive forms of some Stem-Changing Verbs. For verbs whose stem ends in a vowel the ending is "yendo." Examples of these verbs are: leer, oír, traer. For leer the present participle is leyendo (le- + yendo), for oír is oyendo (o- + yen do), for traer, trayendo (tra- + yen do), and for ir (to go), which is a very irregular verb, yendo. Study the Repaso Rápido on page 9.
You will also have to review the Direct Object Pronouns - me te lo/la nos os los/las. You can attach these to the end of the ING- forms in Spanish. Examples: Estoy tendiéndola; Sí, estoy pasándola muy bien; Él está lavándolo, Ella está leyéndolo, etc. If someone. The asks: ¿Están lavando el carro? You may want to respond: Sí, están lavándolo. Another example: ¿Están leyendo revistas? Sí, están leyéndolas.
