Key learning points
- The sound-symbol correspondences [ll] and [l] can be contrasted for read aloud practice.
- The infinitive form of a verb gives its general meaning, e.g., 'hablar', to speak.

- To mean 'I' with a verb, the -ar verb ending changes to -o, e.g., 'hablo', I speak.

[ll] - pronounced as in the word ‘llamar’

Common misconception
[l] and [ll] have the same sound as each other.
[l] and [ll] sound different from each other in Spanish. The [l] is like the 'l' in 'libro'; the [ll] is pronounced as in the 'll' in amarillo.
