Key learning points
- Knowledge of sound-symbol correspondences helps when pronouncing unfamiliar words.
- All Spanish nouns are masculine or feminine and the words for 'a/an' and 'the' are 'un, una' and 'el, la'.
- Adjectives agree for gender and many follow the noun.
- Verb endings indicate the person doing the action of the verb and pronouns are often not used.
Keywords
[gu] - pronounced as in the word 'preguntar'
Common misconception
There is one word for 'the' in Spanish as in English.
'El' is the word for 'the' for masculine nouns; 'la' is the word for 'the' for feminine nouns.
