| 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}. |
