As you remember from our last episode, I was at the doctors due to some symptoms

from a bad seafood platter. Now, I'm at home trying to recover. Being sick is never fun. but it gives us a good opportunity to learn some more Spanish especially related to the home and taking care of oneself firstly to say I'm resting in Spanish you would say I'm resting in Spanish you would say I'm descansando

next if you want to tell someone you need to sleep you'd say Necessito Dormir Necessito Dormir Remember Necessito means

I need And dormir means To sleep To drink water As the doctor advised Is Beber Agua Beber Agua

So If I want to say I need to drink A lot of water I'd say Necessito Bever Much water. Necessito. Beber. Much. Much. Agua.

Bever is spelt with two Bs. Not that it sounds like it though, and that's because the B, sound produced in Spanish, is very soft and actually closer to how we English speakers pronounce the letter V. If someone asks how I'm feeling today, and I want to say I'm feeling a bit better, I would say,

Me Siento a Poco meh Siento Un Poco Mejor Just like we learned last time, me Siento means

I feel. In the midst of this, if you ever wanted to say you are taking medication, you'd say I'm taking medication. This iso Tomando Medicacion

This is very useful when you want to tell someone why you're resting or can't do certain activities Oh look, that must be rim service I just ordered some soup over the phone Hello! Soup in Spanish is Sopa And yes, it's as delicious in any language.

If someone's asks how are you today in Spanish they'd say Como estas oi comeo estes oi a possible response especially if you're feeling better is estuioio which means i am improving to mention that you've been resting a lot you would say

say, I've been a lot of much E I've stado descansando

much If you're spending a lot of time in bed like me the word for bed in Spanish is Kama So to say

I am in bed you'd say I'm in the Kama I'm in la camera. During sickness, we often read books or watch movies. Book in Spanish is El Libro.

El Libro. Movie in Spanish is La Pelicula. La Pelicula. If you want to say you're reading a book, it's If I'm going to a book. I'm reading a book. If you're watching a movie, you'd say,

I'm seeing a movie. I'm doing a movie. A video. And yes, sometimes a good movie or book is all you need to feel better. Now, let's think of another home comfort. Ah yes, warm blankets. In Spanish, a blanket is One manta.

If you want to say, I have a warm blanket, it would be, Tengo Unamanta Caliente. Tengo Una Manta Caliente.

That must be my are checking in on me. Let's answer and use some of our newly learned phrases. Hello! Yes, I'm in the camera. I'm mejorando. That means, hello, yes, I'm in bed. I'm improving. Now, let's do a quick test of what we've just learned.

To say I'm resting would be, I'm I'm I'm Descanzano To say I need to sleep would be

Necessito Dormir Necessito Dormir To say I need to drink a lot of water would be Necessito

Bever much water Necessito Bebe Beber Much Agua I'm feeling a bit better

would be Me Siento a Poco Mé Siento Un Poco Mejor To say I'm taking medication

would be I'm taking medication I'm taking medication Estoy Tomando Medi To say thank you for the soup would be Grazie for la sopa

Grazias For la Sopa To say I am improving would be I'm Mejorando Estoy

Mejorando To say I've been resting a lot would be Estado Descanzanzando much. That's four words. E.

Estado. Descanzando much. To say I am in bed would be Estoy in la camera. I'm in la camera. To say I'm reading a book would be

I'm leading a book. Estoy leando a libro to say I have a warm blanket would be

Tengu a manta caliente Una Manta Caliente Right I've also ordered some tea or

T in Spanish A warm cup of tea always makes me feel better when I'm sick All right I think that's enough learning for today It's time to rest and recover fully.
