About this episode

¡Hola! Welcome to Spanish from Zero, a podcast for people who are just starting the amazing journey that is learning Spanish.


Today’s practice is focused on the verb Llamarse (to be called). Basically the verb that we use to talk about people’s names. The exercise is really short and simple! Your job is to find the mistakes in these sentences (only one of them is correct):


Yo llamo Rafael

Nosotros nos llamos Pedro y Juan

Ella se llaman Claudia

Tú te llamas Lucas

Ellos se llama Ana y Sebastián
