In episode No. Ocho, we visited the zoo and learned a bit about the animals over at the Zoologico de Barcelona. This time, you join me as I accompany Maria in Spain's only remaining department store, El Corte English. The English or English court, as it translates to, is the largest department chain store in Europe, and the third largest in the world. It is very upscale and home to the biggest Spanish and international brands.

Maria is on the hunt for some clothes. I'm sure she can find what she's looking for here. And I guess I may as well have a look to. I do need some new clothes. To say I need new clothes in Spanish, I would say, Necessito Ropa Nueva. The word for cloves in Spanish is ropa. To remember this, I always think of somebody wearing clothes

made entirely out of rope. Hey, it may sound crazy, but it works. Let's go shopping. But before we begin, it's important to know that any item of clothing, well, not just clothing, but any noun, must be paired with an article. Before you ask me what on earth I'm talking about, in English we have just one definite article, and that is the. We use the, whether talking about. a singular thing or multiple things. For example, we would say the boy or the boys or the girl. The girls. The girls. The will always be the definite article used. In Spanish however,

the will either be masculine or feminine, singular or plural. We use el if the noun is singular and masculine. For example, We would use la if the noun or thing is singular and feminine la chica we would use loss if there are multiple masculine things Los Chikos finally we would use las if there are multiple feminine things such as las chicas does that make sense right let's go over the items of clothing that we see. The shirt. La Camisa. La Camisa. The T-shirt. La Camisetta. La Camiseta. Skirt. La Fala. La Fala. To remember this, try to think of a long skirt that needs to be folded away after being worn. A foldy fowlder, if you will.

The sweater. El sueter. Sueter. This is easy to remember because it is almost the same word. Just give it that Spanish twang by keeping your tongue nice and loose. Dress. El vestido. El vestido.

When remembering vestido, I think of a vest, as it's also an item of clothing. Imagine a really oversized vest that looks like a dress. Un vestido. Trousers. Or pants. Los pantalones. Los pantalones. Hat.

El sombrero. El sombrero. I don't know about you, but when I think of a sombrero, I think of those amazing mariachi performers with the massive circular hats. A jacket. is la chaquetta la chaquetta again very similar to English jacket jacket jacket coat in Spanish is el abrigo el abrigo Sox are los calcettines

The suit is the Trache El Trage Shoes are Thee Los Zapatos Belt

The cinturon The The Clouon The gloves Los Guantes Los Guantes To

To help me remember this word I say to myself I like to grab with my guanthes Guantes help me grab gloves los guantes to say raincoat el impermeable el impermeable just remember that a good raincoat is supposed to be impermeable it is spelled exactly the same as it is in English impermeable always think of the defining quality that makes a raincoat what it is it is

impermeable impermeable very good amigos fantastic that should do us for now well it's no good buying clothes about trying them on right if I want to try something on

I would say I want to try I want to probarme, Kierro probarme followed by whatever it is I want to try. Kierrobarme. Two words.

Let's break them down. Kierro is I want. Probarme literally translates to to try myself. So, if I wanted to try myself

the shirt, I would say I'm how would you say I want to try on the hat I want to try on the hat after trying on clothing that we like we then begin to wear it

I'm going to teach you how to say that to say I am going to wear you say I'm going to wear I I Ponerme Three words

Vo is the first A is the second Ponerme is the third Voie means I am going A means two Bonerme means to put on myself

Repeat after me I'm If I wanted to say I am going to wear the hat I would say I'm going to put me the sombrero So my friends

If I wanted to say I am going to put on the shirt I would say I'm going to put me the camisa Let's go over these two important phrases Once more I want to try on Is
