Learn Spanish with SpanishPod101.com. Nati and Carlos are back for another episode of the Costa Rican Regional Series. Today’s conversation takes place in a restaurant, and the cook is so good that you want to say she’s got game!, she really knows what she’s doing. Also, have a close look at the word “demasiado” and the U to UE stem-changing verb “jugar” (to play). Also, remember that these lessons are designed to be used in tandem with the tools in the Premium Learning Center and with Newbie Lesson 13, Peruvian Lesson 13 and Iberian Lesson 13.

This broadcast was recorded on location in San Jose, Costa Rica. Thanks to Kevin MacLeod for the music used in today’s lesson.
Alright, let’s see the conjugation of that verb “jugar” to find out where the change occurs and where it doesn’t.

Let me take a crack at it…conjugated in the present tense of the indicative mood (which we know from Joe and Bea’s verb conjugation series, means that the action expressed is ‘real’).
Jugar - Infinitive
Juego - 1st person singular of the indicative mood.
Juegas - 2nd person singular of the indicative mood.
Juega - 3rd person singular of the indicative mood.
Jugamos - 1st person plural of the indicative mood.
Jugáis - 2nd person plural of the indicative mood.
Juegan - 3rd person plural of the indicative mood.
So, we see that the stem of the verb jugar stays unchanged only in the 1st person plural (nosotros form) as well as the 2nd person plural (vosotros). Throughout the other conjugations, the stem changes to U-E. Can we think of any other verbs that might follow a similar pattern?

I’m hitting some pretty consistent broken links to the podcast. This time it is the link to the pdf file. Are any others experiencing similar problems?

I’ve just gone through and tested each link. I discovered a couple of little problems in the filepaths. Sorry for the inconvenience. All of the links should be working fine now. Thanks for understanding.
