Tourist Spanish-1

When learning a new language, it is very important to relax: don't worry about grammar. Just practice listening to words, short phrases and dialogues many times to see if you can recognize all the sounds. Try to write them down, but don't feel bad if you make mistakes. Ear training takes time.

After you can identify most of the sounds, imagine saying them (Where do you put your tongue, your lips etc.) but don't actually speak until you feel ready. A realxed silent period is very, very helpful.

One of the first things you should learn in Spanish is how to introduce yourself.




Compared to English, Spanish spelling is quite simple, but there are a few important differences between English and Spanish. Spanish only has five vowels: a, e, i, o, u.

For the word llamo, notice that "ll" is usually pronounced /j/, and the stress is on the first syllable with "a", not "o"

"Me llamo Roberto" = My name is Robert.
Literally, "Myself I call Robert"
Literally 照字面上解說

"Soy Roberto" = I am Robert.
