About this listen

One of the first things beginners want to say in Spanish is who they are and where they live — but many feel they need perfect pronunciation, no accent, and zero nerves. Here’s the truth: it doesn’t have to be perfect to be understood 💥

In Episode 43, Em and Val break down the exact phrases you need to introduce yourself naturally in Spanish, even as a complete beginner. You’ll learn how to confidently say your nationality, city, and ask someone else where they’re from — without overthinking it.


🎙️ In this episode, you’ll:

✅ Learn how to say your nationality using soy + nationality

✅ Understand how to say where you currently live using vivo en + place

✅ Discover the difference between ¿De dónde eres? vs ¿Dónde vives?

✅ Hear a simple mini conversation and see how it’s used in real life

✅ Get tips for beginner-friendly Spanish introductions


🎯 Reto de la Semana (Challenge of the Week)

Tell us in Spanish in the comments:

👉 Your nationality using soy + nationality

👉 Where you live using vivo en + city

Val will reply and help you perfect your sentence!
