Is there a difference if you say where you live by saying "Yo vivo en Florida" or "Vivo in Florida." I don't get why they say the Yo sometimes and not the other times
It would be "en Florida" in both cases.
The Yo is not necessary, but might be added for emphasis, if many people are saying where they live, or if the speaker is particularly proud of living in Florida.
Thank you
The reason it is not necessary to state the "yo" is because the ending of the verb says it is "yo" as the subject. vivo = It's the personal ending of "o" that goes with "yo."

Yes, there is a difference between saying "Yo vivo en Florida" and "Vivo en Florida." In Spanish, the subject pronouns like "yo" (meaning "I") are often omitted unless there is a need to emphasize or clarify who is performing the action.
When you say "Yo vivo en Florida," you are explicitly stating that it is you who lives in Florida. By including the subject pronoun "yo," you are emphasizing that it is your personal situation.
On the other hand, when you say "Vivo en Florida" without the subject pronoun, it is understood that the subject of the sentence is "yo" by default. In everyday conversation, it is common to drop the subject pronoun because its meaning is already implied by the verb form used (in this case, "vivo" is the first-person form of the verb "vivir").
So, both "Yo vivo en Florida" and "Vivo en Florida" mean "I live in Florida," but using or omitting the subject pronoun depends on personal preference and emphasis.
