Hello, Villajeros and Villageras. Bienvenito to this episode of Emersive Spanish. You're joining me back at my Airbnb. Hang on. Let me turn that down.

And this is, sadly, my final day in La Ciudadena. Barcelona. It's been an incredible trip. One experience incredible. But, it's time for my journey through the Hispanic world to continue.

Where's next? I hear you ask. Well, that's a secret I'll have to reveal later. Primero, I need to pack. Necessito empacar. Necessito

Empackar. So, of course, I'll need my suitcase. The word for suitcase is... Maleta. Maleta. The suitcase... Well, do you think it would be El Maleta or La Maleta? It's La Maleta.

La Maleta. If you are ever in doubt as to whether the word word is feminine or masculine, you should look at the last letter. If it ends in an A, there's a good chance it's a feminine word. If it ends in an O, then there's a good chance it's a masculine word. To remember this word, Maleta, I think of it sounding quite similar to male eta. It's as if you're mailing your things as you send them on a trip of yourself. Here it is. This is suitcase is very handy as it has wheels. Wheels in Spanish are

Ruedas Las Ruedas The wheels Las Ruedas To remember this, I think of a car with some big wheels that are rude the word las ruas okay

esora de empacar my ropa it's time to pack my clothes is hora de empacar my ropa cloves in Spanish is ropa the clothes in Spanish

are la ropa it's a singular noun hence why we say la ropa to remember the word ropa just imagine a

long brown rope used to hang all your wet clothes. Ropa. Next, we have the toothbrush. El sepio deientes. El sepio de dientes. The brush of teeth is how this translates word for word. Although we don't say dientes in English, did you know that the word dental and dentees share the same Latin

roots. Next, we have sunscreen, which in Spanish is called Protector Solar. Protector. Solar. To remember the word Solar, think of solar-powered energy. You know those big panels you see above homes? Well, think of how much sun they get and how us humans need a protector from all that sun. Protector Solar. Next, we have the swimsuit. The traje de baño. Traje P.

Baño. To me, Baño kind of sounds like banned. So I always imagine how in some countries the swimsuit is banned in public. Trage de baño. Passport. Passaporte. El passaporte.

To remember this, visualize your passport as the key that allows you to pass into different countries. Pasa boarde. Next, we have some shoes which I need to pack. Shoes in Spanish are... Zapatoz. Los Zapatos. Ah, look, I have my 4K camera. I use this to take some stunning photos.

Can't forget this one. To say camera in Spanish is Camara La camera This is spelled almost exactly the same in Spanish But there is no E Instead there are three A's in the word camera One more time

La camera What's this? I've got my map of the city Not that I've had to use it much I can thank my phone for that Anyhow To say map in Spanish Just add an A at the end of map Mapa

Mapa Easy enough, right What is a little bit more confusing though Is that Mapa is not a feminine word Despite it ending in an A I know earlier I told you that words Ending in an A are usually feminine

But there are some exceptions and this is one of them so to say the map we say el mapa Necessi to the map for example. Ah yes I've also got some books to read on the plane I've only recently started getting into reading but now I find it's a great way to unwind and improve my memory. A book in Spanish is a An Libro. To say the book, you would say El Libro. To remember the word Libro, you should think about where you find them in abundance.

Just repeat this to yourself. Libraries are full of libros. Libraries are full of libros. Libro library. Never forget, you can find many libros in the library. Okay, that's about everything. Right, I better head to the airport because I don't want to miss my flight. Ah, I'm going to miss these beautiful streets of the Gothic Quarter.

This may be the last time I see them for a while, but I'll definitely be back. I do need to take a taxi, and here's one right here. Uh, hello, Hola, hello signor. Ista occupied? Si? Ah, okay, no,

no problem. The taxi driver just told me he's currently waiting for someone else and he's occupied. Or as we say in Spanish, occupied. But here's another.

Hello, hola, hola. Ista occupied? No, perfect. Grazie, signor. Me, for favor. Muchis-gracias.

Airport in Spanish is Aeropoerto. It's very similar to the English way of saying airport, but there are slight differences. We add an O to the end of both air and port. So instead of saying air, we say aero. of saying port we say puerto aeropuerto right

let me test you on some of the things I taught you earlier whilst packing how do you say the clothes la ropa la ropa remember

think of a long rope used to hang your clothes on rope rope ropa how do you say the toothbrush el sepio How do you say?

Sunscreen. Protector solar. Protector solar. How would you say? Swim suit. Trage de baño. Trage. De.

Baño. How do you say? Passport. Passaporte. El. Passaporte. How would you then say shoes? Zapato's.

How would you say? Camera. Camera. La. Camera. How do you say map? Mapa. Finally, how do you say book?

Libro. El Libro. Ja. We've arrived. We've arrived. We've We've We've got

Thank you, Sir How much How cost? How cost? Thirty-six euros?

Woof Um, uh, uh, but I don't have sufficient effective I'm Can't pay with

a Targeta? Yes. Well, thanks. Okay, thanks. Ciao.
