Description

😅 Feeling a little confundido about emotions in Spanish? This beginner-friendly episode teaches you when to use estar (not tener) for feelings — plus 10 essential emotions to boost your Spanish fast and take your conversations to the next levels! 


In this episode, you’ll learn:

✅ 5 high-energy emotions (I’m good, fantastic, well, happy and excited)

✅ 5 lower-energy emotions (I’m so-so, not good, sad, tired, stressed)

✅ 2 common traps to avoid as a beginner! (I’m cold/hot, I’m hungry/thirsty) 

Val (native Spanish teacher from Venezuela) and Em (English-speaking learner) explain everything step-by-step so you can feel more confident using both verbs in real-life conversations.

✏ Challenge of the Week

Use estar to tell us, how are you feeling today? ÂżCĂłmo estĂĄs?

You can reply by using the structure yo estoy + the emotion — “Estoy muy feliz” (I’m really happy) — “Estoy un poco cansado” (I’m a bit tired)
