Dear Mark and Kara,
We love Coffee Break Spanish! I’m an architect in northern California, and my daughter Flora is seven years old. We listen together in the car and on our days off. Here’s Flora:
“I like the podcasts. (giggle giggle smirk.)”
Thank you for giving us a fun way to learn Spanish together! I’m looking forward to talking with the Spanish-speaking parents at Flora’s school.

How do I say “I don’t work”?
In the lesson you say “no trabajo” but that’s only “no job”, how do I say the whole sentence?
Is it “soy no trabajo?”

Kingleo, do you know the conjugation of the verb” trabajar”? The first person, yo, will be trabajo, which means “I work”. To say, ” I don’t work” you would say, “No trabajo.”
Remember there is a difference between the noun which means “work” or “job” and the verb. Just so happens the FIRST person present tense of the verb looks the same as the noun. Look in a verb conjugation book to see the entire conjugation of “trabajar”. Hope this helps a little.

@ Kingleo – se dice – “YO no trabajo.”
Trabajar is the verb to work, you are conjugating it in the present personal I form and adding the negative no to the sentence so you are saying
“I don’t work”, when you say, “Yo (I) no trabajo (don’t work)”

Orrr.. as Trix says to not put stress on “I”, you can just say “no trabajo”
