In our first class, we
introduced ourselves and we talked briefly about our knowledge of the Spanish
language and culture.
We also talked about the
Spanish pronunciation and we saw some examples of words with those particular
pronunciations.
“ñ” in España (Spain), uña (nail), niño (child)
“ll” in lluvia (rain), llave (key), llamar (call,
ring)
“j, g” in mujer (woman), gente
(people) genio (genious)
“q” in queso (cheese) que (what)
“r, rr” in perro
(dog) borracho (drunk), ratón (mouse)
“h” in hola (hello) hielo (ice), hermano (brother)
“v” in volver (go back, come back), volar (fly), ver (see)
“c, z” in cien (one hundred), zapato (shoe), diez (ten)
We learnt the basic
introductions and we practiced them in pairs.
