Lesson details

Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons

Key learning points

  1. Spanish [h] is silent, as in the word ‘hablar’.
  2. Spanish adjective agreement is for gender and number.
  3. Singular adjectives ending in -e do not change for gender.
  4. Spanish adjectives mostly follow the noun. Adjective placement is different from English.

Keywords

  • [h] - is silent in Spanish, as in the word ‘hablar’

  • Adjective agreement - when the ending of an adjective matches the noun it describes in gender and number

  • Adjective placement - position of adjective in relation to the noun it describes

Common misconception

The 'h' is sometimes pronounced in Spanish.

The 'h' is never pronounced in Spanish, regardless of its position in the word (hola, zanahoria).

Teachers might consider introducing most of the Spanish words with an 'h' in the middle of the word (zanahoria, exhausta), as there aren't many. Teachers also might want to explain that many words that start with 'h' in Spanish used to start with an 'f' (farina, fierro).
