Key learning points
- The sound-symbol correspondence [qui] can be contrasted for practice with the key sound [ci].
- Numbers 1-12 go before nouns to indicate how many there are. Numbers do not change their spelling.
- Adding -s to nouns ending in -o, -a or -e makes them plural.
- ‘¿Tienes?’ means ‘Do you have?’ There is no word for ‘do’ in intonation questions.
Keywords
[qui] - pronounced like a hard 'c' followed by [i], as in the word 'equipo'
[ci] - pronounced as in the word 'decir'
Plural noun - a word that refers to more than one person, place or thing
Tienes - part of the verb 'tener' that means 'you have' or 'do you have?'
Tengo - part of the verb 'tener' that means 'I have' or 'do I have?'
Common misconception
The sounds [qui] and [ci] are pronounced the same in English and Spanish.
The sound [qui] is pronounced like a hard 'c' followed by [i] or like the word 'key' in English. The sound [ci] is pronounced like 'thi' in English.
