In this module, we learn about using the verb estar with different emotions. The verb estar is a preposition which is a word that helps to describe a location or a place in time. For example, when someone asks how you are doing today, there are so many ways to describe how you are feeling. You will also earn a variety of vocabulary words to help you express your feelings and emotions. We will also look at the difference between the two verbs ser and estar. They both mean to be but they have very different applications.
The following music videos are all about the emotions! See if you can hear examples of emotions in Spanish as you listen. You probably recognize some of the emotions already such as feliz, contento, and triste.
