Spanish (Spain) Learning Tips
- Spanish pronunciation and spelling are regular and predictable.
- There are two categories of Spanish nouns: masculine and feminine.
- Don’t be surprised if you see sentences without subjects. Rosetta Stone teaches you to identify who is speaking or who is being spoken about through the form of the verb.
- Spanish has two verbs that mean ‘to be.’ One is used for characteristics that are more permanent, and one for characteristics that are more temporary
- You’ll notice that many Spanish words use accent marks, which indicate where to put stress.
- Sometimes an accent distinguishes one word from another that is identical except for the mark. For example: esta and está.
- The letter ñ is distinct from n in its pronunciation. The letter ll is also pronounced differently than two single l’s.
- Spanish has both formal and informal ways to address others, depending on the age of the speaker and his or her relationship to the person or persons being addressed.
