Key learning points
- To pronounce words starting with [h] we ignore it and pronounce the vowel that follows.
- To identify the genre of a text focus on its key features. For example, rhyme, rhythm and verses suggest a poem.
- Adjectives mainly follow Spanish nouns and agree with them for gender and number.
- The surrounding words and grammar you know, and recognition of cognates, help you to work out unfamiliar word meanings.
Keywords
[h] - it is not pronounced in Spanish, as in 'hablar'
Genre - a type of something, e.g. text, music, film, or book
Adjective - word that gives information about a noun
Common misconception
There are no strategies I can use to understand words in a text; I either know them or I don't.
I can use several strategies to help me understand a text: I can use the surrounding words that I do know, I can use my knowledge of patterns, e.g. for adjectives, and I can use cognates.
