SER or ESTAR?
Distinguish identity and characteristics from state and location.
Remember
SER · identity / characteristics ESTAR · state / location
Use ser for identity, origin or a defining characteristic; use estar for a state or a person's/object's location. Permanent versus temporary is an unreliable shortcut: a city uses estar for its location. Some adjectives change interpretation with the verb, so learn complete examples.

Estoy cansado.
I am tired.
Madrid está en España.
Madrid is in Spain.
Audio help
Voices are automatic: Orus reinforces masculine personal descriptions; Leda is used for feminine, neutral or ambiguous content. Explicit speaker metadata takes priority. Ordinary masculine nouns do not select a male voice. New recordings are prepared only on Play and saved for reuse. Both voices share the owner-approved monthly budget and 100 new recordings per browser profile per UTC day. Cached audio remains available when the budget is reached. If Google audio is unavailable, Spanish browser audio is labeled Browser Voice. If playback is blocked, use Tap to Play.
