Spanish Lesson of the day(cos I cant sleep) Basic family members: Madre: Mother Padre: Father Hermano: Brother Hermana: Sister Abuelo: Grandfather Abuela: Grandmother Its basic but we should cover the basics. Though adding an O or an A to an English word does not always translate it into Spanish, it does in some cases. Finding out which words are feminine and which are masculine are important because it also helps when constructing sentences. If its masculine youll use El and when feminine youll use La. EX. El niño and La niña. (The boy and the girl) Accents are also important...very, crucially important because words can have the exact same spelling just one has an accent while the other doesnt. El = The Él = He Classic and hilarious examples also include: Papa = Pope Papá/papá(Lower and upper case depends on whether its the first word in the sentence) = Dad papa = potato Years: años Anus: anos The (Mexican)Spanish alphabet has 30 letters in it. The extra 4 that they count are CH(pronounced Che), LL(pronounced eh-ye), Ñ(pronounced énye), and RR(and this is when you roll your tongue). [[Tip for learning how to do it properly because its not as easy as people think, lick suckers/lollipops. Perverted as it sounds to dirty minds like ours, practicing that tongue rotation does wonders for learning new languages.]] A,B,C,CH,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,LL,M,N, Ñ, O, P, Q, R, RR, S,T, U, V, VV, X,Y, Z(in English we know W is pronounced double U, in Spanish you can use doble U, or doble V). The letter Y in a sentence is actually a word in itself. Its the word And. EX: Mi mamá y yo. (My mom and I.) and its pronounced like the letter E. But when you pronounce it as a letter in the alphabet its pronounced E-griega. I think thats good for one day.
