Note: The conversation lets you hear tienes and necesitas in a question. You are not expected to produce those forms yet; focus on understanding the reply forms tengo and necesito.
Language Insights
Articles, possession and accents
- un and una both mean a/an. The noun determines which form is used.
- problema uses un: un problema. Its ending can mislead beginners, so learn the phrase together.
- mi means my and has no accent. mí means me after a preposition, as in para mí.
- Spanish -ción usually carries an accent because the stress falls on the final syllable.
