| Let's look at some more examples. |
| Listen and repeat or speak along with the native speakers. |
| Ángel Salazar Almonte: No, no soy estudiante. Soy inversionista. |
| Ángel Salazar Almonte: No, no soy estudiante. Soy inversionista. |
| Emma López: No, no soy maestra. Soy estudiante. |
| Emma López: No, no soy maestra. Soy estudiante. |
| Mark Lee: No, no soy maestro. Soy ingeniero. |
| Mark Lee: No, no soy maestro. Soy ingeniero. |
| Raquel Ramírez Arce: No, no soy enfermera. Soy doctora. |
| Raquel Ramírez Arce: No, no soy enfermera. Soy doctora. |
| Víctor Trejo: No, no soy estudiante. Soy maestro. |
| Víctor Trejo: No, no soy estudiante. Soy maestro. |
| Amelia Arce Bernal: No, soy barista. |
| Amelia Arce Bernal: No, soy barista. |
| Did you notice how the last speaker omits no soy estudiante? |
| Amelia Arce Bernal: No, soy barista. No, I'm barista. No, soy barista. |
| When directly responding to someone's question, it’s often possible to omit part of the response. |
| Here by simply answering No, "no," you can omit no soy estudiante, "I’m not a student." |
| This pattern is |
| No, soy {actual occupation}. |
| "No, I'm {actual occupation}." |
| No, soy {actual occupation}. |
| You should be aware of this pattern, but for this lesson, we'll use the pattern |
| No, no soy {occupation}. Soy {actual occupation}. |
| "No, I'm not {occupation}. I'm {actual occupation}." |
| No, no soy {occupation}. Soy {actual occupation}. |
