BEGINNERS´ COURSE, 2023, CLASS 1

 

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.
