Take Spanish Lessons Online ?Is this Guide for Me?? Review



Reasons for Learning A Second Language differ depending on the situation. Many people who want to Learn A Language in a short time do so because they want to Get More Enjoyment out of their experience in a foreign country, and so Practical Communications will become much easier for them. It is true that you gain a richer appreciation for the food and culture of a particular place when you are Immersed in The Language as well.

 

Others decide to Learn out of a desire to talk to and relate to friends whose First

Language is not English. Finding a partner who Speaks A Foreign Language is also always a great motivation to get fluent fast (often helps you get in good with the parents too). For some, Learning New Languages increases their Earning Potential in the Business world, and some Employees are even required to do so (they are lucky - after all, they are typically Supported Financially and given the necessary time they need to Learn and upskill!). Yet others are Fascinated by Language for the sake of Language, and they take Great Pleasure in Learning a Second Language, and often a third and fourth as well?

 

Regardless of the reasons behind it, the result of Acquiring a Second Language is

the same: in a word, it's rewarding. It is genuinely a rewarding experience for

you, but it is also a reward for all of the people you are now able to reach with

your new ability. Remember, speaking someone else's First Language, in their

home country or simply in their home, is a mark of enormous respect. And this

sort of respect goes a long way.

 

So this guide is for those who, in the most immediate sense, want to Get Started

with Learning a Language or get past the frustration that they have encountered

along the way. It offers direction, motivation, and creative ideas toward this end.

But beyond that, it is for those who seek the reciprocal rewards that such an

experience will bring, rewards that are long lasting and ongoing.

Spanish Pronunciation

Spanish is such an easy language to speak. It is phonetic, which means that as long as you memorize the sounds of each letter in the alphabet, you can read ANY word!


The Spanish Alphabet


You can form almost every sound in Spanish using the English sounds that you already know. Look at the Spanish alphabet below. See if you can?t pick out the letters that do NOT occur in the English alphabet:


a, b, c, ch, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, ll, m, n, ?, o, p, q, r, rr, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z

If you said ch, ll, ?, and rr, you?d be right!

  • The ch sound is pronounced just as it is pronounced in English, like Charles.
  • The ll sound is often pronounced like a y, as in yo-yo.
    Please note that this sound is difficult to pin down, as it is prounced in a variety of ways around Latin America.
  • The ? sound is pronounced like an n followed by a yay.
  • The rr sound is pronounced by trilling the r sound. Think of a purring cat!

Below is a Guide To The Pronunciation Of The Letters Of The Alphabet. Just remember to pronounce the letter combination ?ay? as in ?day? and the letter combination ?ah? like you were opening your mouth for the dentist, and you?ll be fine!

A
B
C
CH
D
E
F
G
H
I
J
K

ah
beh
say
chay
day
ay
ef-ay
hay
ah-chay
ee
hotah
kah
el-ay
ay-yay
em-ay
en-ay
en-yay
oh
peh
coo
air-ay
airrr-ay (roll those Rs!)
es-ay (like ?S?-ay)
teh
oo
beh
doh-bleh-beh
eh-keys
ee-gree-ay-gah
say-tah


Notice that the letters ?b? and ?v? sound exactly alike. That?s because there is no difference between the two sounds in Spanish: ?v? is pronounced just like ?b.? This can make it difficult when you?re trying to spell an unfamiliar word that you?ve only heard before, like grabadora (tape recorder) or vago (lazy). If you ask someone to spell a word in Spanish for you, that person may differentiate ?b? and ?v? by talking about beh grande (big ?b?) and beh peque?o (little ?v?).


You may also have difficulties with the Spanish Sounds ?g,? ?h,? and ?j.? They sound rather different from their English counterparts! Both ?g? and ?j? can sound like the English ?h? (as in ?hey?). The Spanish ?h,? on the other hand, is usually silent!


By the way ... Did you know that the letter ?w? is only used in words of foreign origin, like ?Washington??


Pronuncation Practice


Now, see if you can pronounce the following words:


A

Accent Marks


The final thing that you need to remember about Pronouncing Spanish Words is that accent marks will completely change the pronunciation AND meaning of a word.

Consider the following stressed vowels:


?  ?  ?  ?  ?

When you see one of the above vowels, stress that syllable. For example, the three words below all sound different.

esta
?sta
est?

Each of these three words has a different meaning, as well as different sound. You?ll learn more about them in the "Spanish Demonstrative Adjectives" Section .

 

Listen!


That?s enough Pronunciation Practice for now. Remember: the more you listen, the more you?ll be able to recognize words as they?re spoken!

 



In the next section we?ll work on nouns: words for people, places, and things

Ordinary Ways to Learn a Language Extraordinarily Fast!

 

Tongue-tied

 

There is that wonderful story of a Chinese girl who moves to the United States

and goes to kindergarten for the first time in her new country. When it comes

time for her turn to speak aloud in class, she freezes up, knowing that what little

English she does know will sound very different to the ears of all those around

her. Eventually, she finds some relief in reading exercises, because when reading

aloud at least you don't have to make up what you're going to say. But even that

relief is short-lived, for she has to stop for an awkward pause each time she sees

the pronoun 'I.' It makes no sense to her. She thinks, in Chinese, when you write

that first person pronoun, you have to use seven strokes. It's quite an intricate
