This is the second lesson in our beginner level Spanish course and we will look at Countries and Nationalities in Spanish<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In this Spanish Lesson 2 we will learn all about discussing where you are from in Spanish. We will see how to ask someone where they are from, how to state where you are from and your nationality and some useful vocabulary related to countries and nationalities in Spanish<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Firstly, let\u2019s look at how to ask someone where you are from in Spanish:<\/h4>\n

\u00bfDe d\u00f3nde eres?: Where are you from?
\n\u00bfCual es tu nacionalidad?: What is your nationality?<\/p>\n

To respond to this question you can use a word that we saw in the previous lesson:<\/h4>\n

Soy…: I am…<\/p>\n

This would be used to describe your nationality, for example:<\/h4>\n

(You will see that some nationalities have two options. The first option is for a man and the second option is for a woman)<\/p>\n

Soy ingles\/inglesa: I am English
\nSoy espa\u00f1ol\/espa\u00f1ola: I am Spanish
\nSoy japon\u00e9s\/japonesa: I am Japanese
\nSoy estadounidense: I am US American
\nSoy australiano\/australiana: I am Australian
\nSoy chino\/china: I am Chinese
\nSoy indio\/india: I am Indian<\/p>\n

\"Countries<\/p>\n

Rather than stating your nationality you may want to say from which country you are from. To do this you can use:<\/h4>\n

Soy de…: I am from…<\/p>\n

Here are some examples:<\/h4>\n

Soy de Inglaterra: I am from England
\nSoy de Espa\u00f1a: I am from Spain
\nSoy de Jap\u00f3n: I am from Japan
\nSoy de Los Estados Unidos: I am from the US
\nSoy de Australia: I am from Australia
\nSoy de China: I am from China
\nSoy de India: I am from India<\/p>\n

You will notice that we use capital letters for countries in Spanish, but we don\u2019t use capital letters for nationalities in Spanish.<\/p>\n

If you wanted to find out more detail about where someone is from you can ask:<\/h4>\n

\u00bfDe qu\u00e9 parte (de Inglaterra)?: From what part (of England)?<\/p>\n

And they might answer:<\/p>\n

Soy de Manchester: I am from Manchester<\/p>\n

That is all for this lesson about Countries and Nationalities in Spanish<\/strong>. In our next Spanish lesson we will look at numbers in Spanish 1-100<\/a> and the pronunciation of the Spanish vowels (A, E, O, U, I). Please also make sure you check out the previous lesson in this course to learn all about meeting and greeting in Spanish<\/a>.
