Would I Lie to You?


This morning I re-listened to Language Transfer Track #41 in which he introduces us to the second future tense "would". He explains that similar to "will":
  • we add to the "to form" of the verb
  • the stress moves to the end of the word or "into the future"; and
  • there is one set of endings for all verbs -AR, -ER and -IR
The key sound is "ía"
  • bailaría - I, He, She, It and You (formal) would dance 
  • bailaríamos - We would dance
  • bailarías - You (informal) would dance
  • bailarían - They would dance
Which brings me to my video today, like Doris Day, Annie Lennox will help me remember this particular future tense. Would I Lie to You? - ¿Te mentiría? - Right?

Also today Ismar had us listen to the first Duolingo Podcast (with the transcript). Anouska posted a YouTube video from the Duolingo channel which had the transcript simultaneously playing with the sound, which was helpful. Sadly they don't have all the podcasts. But they did have this one, which is one of my favorites. Do you have a favorite?
