An Introduction To Spanish Grammar

Post by: Daniel on August 22nd, 2009 | File Under Language

When learning a new language, it will be useful to always familiar with the major grammatical unit. This is the first step required to understand and create meaningful speech.

Here is a key element in Spanish grammar and some information about them:

Nouns:
A noun is a word commonly used to refer to someone or something. All nouns in Spanish have gender, which means that they are one of the men or women. For example, “Nino” (boy) is masculine and “niña” (girl) are women. The best way to identify the gender is certainly the experience, although here are some general guidelines that may be useful at the beginning: usually nouns ending in-o are masculine and nouns ending in-a is feminine. Of course, there are always exceptions.

For example, “mano” (hand) and “radio” (radio) are women. On the other hand, the Greek origin end in-ma, such as “Dilema” (dilemma) or “problem” (problem) is masculine. When you learn new vocabulary, it is recommended that you learn a noun with the article accordingly. That will help you to remember their gender. Such as “la niña”, “la mano” or “el problems” and “El Nino”. Read More »

Guide to learn Spanish – Part 1 – Anyone can learn the Spanish language (2)

Post by: Daniel on August 2nd, 2009 | File Under Language

I think one of the largest test for me to sit in front of the TV with una cerveza (a beer) and watch the Spanish soap opera (una telenovela) or Spanish film and really understand all that happened. After all, if I can do that in English why should I not be able to do the same in Spanish? Well I have to say I am definitely not there yet but almost! I highly recommend ‘pasion de Gavilanes’. It’s a hugely popular telenovela from Columbia. I will speak more of this and others later in the article.

I have little money, but I feel like more should be better when you come to a dictionary. Read More »
