* Please note that the letter "che" was removed from the Spanish Alphabet by La Academia Real.

"B" and "V" sound alike.

"RR" is a medial sound in Spanish and is trilled. No Spanish words begin with this sound.

"Only one word in the Spanish language ends in the letter "j" and that is "reloj" (clock).

Spanish, which is a Romance Language like French, Italian and Portuguese, has descended from Latin. English did not. When the French invaded England they took thousands of Latin words with them such that today 75% of English is of Latin origin. Hence, we now understand why much of Spanish vocabulary looks familiar to speakers of English. Words in the two languages that look alike and have the same meaning are called cognates. Cognates will assist you in guessing the meaning of many Spanish words that you meet for the first time.

Cognates Vowels

el acento the accent a (ah) as in "father"

la actividad the activity e (ay) as in "day"

cultural cultural i (ee) as in "tree"

la nota the note o (oh) as in "low"

el vocabulario the vocabulary u (oo) as in "moon"

"c" and "g" have two distinct sounds in Spanish

"c" is sounded as a hard "c" as in the English word "car" when it precedes "a, o, u"

examples: casa copa Cuba

"c" is sounded as "s" in the English language when it precedes "e", "i"

examples: cena, cine

"g" is sounded as a hard "g" as in the English word "go" when it precedes "a, o, u"

examples: gato goma gusano

"g" is sounded as "h" in the English language when it precedes "e, i"

examples: gemelos giro

"ch" is sounded just as it is in English

"h" is silent in Spanish

"j" is sounded as "h" in the English language

"LL" is sounded like the English "y"

"q" is sounded as hard "k" in English and like English is always followed by "u"

The combination of "qu" give the single sound of hard "k" in English

examples: queso quiso (pronounced (kay so, kee so)

Stress

The accent mark indicates which syllable is stressed.

papa` (pronounced pa pa)

Spanish Lesson # 2

Spanish Names...a Cultural Reference

Spanish is a very courteous language. So, it is a very good idea to use senor, senora, senorita when speaking to someone. They also add a bit of ease to your greeting.

Forms of Address

Senor Mr. Sr.

Senora Mrs. Sra.

Senorita Miss/Ms. Srta.

Director/a Principal

Maestro/a Teacher (elementary)

Profesor/a Teacher (high school, middle school)

Following normal tradition, a married woman would replace her mother's surname with her husbands's surname, but not drop her own family name.

example: if Maria Luisa Salvador Lopez married Pablo Valencia Rodriguez, de would go in front of Valencia, so her legal name would be Maria Luisa Salvador de Valencia. The tradition is changing and most women are replacing the family name with the husband's name.

Christenings (Bautizos)

Being invited to a christening is an honor and your presence should be accompanied by a gift. Often a child's given name is is marked by family tradition. Sometimes the day on which the child is born coincides with the name of the saint of that particular day. (Dia del Santo) Often the child's name is chosen because of a special devotion the parents feel toward a particular saint. The names Jesus, Angel, etc. are not considered dto be sacrilegious

Elements of Names

Three parts compose a person's full legal name:

the given name (nombre/s)

the father's surname (apellido paterno)

the mother's surname (apellido materno)

(if a married woman) the husband's surname

"Middle names" are fruits of the Anglo-American culture, however many families are now using them. Many names that appear to be composed of first and middle names are usually compound names. An example of this would be the English name of "Mary Ann". Examples of compound names are as follows:

Miguel Angel Juan Carlos Ana Maria

Most names, especailly those of males, are composed of only one name, quite often Americans jump to the conclusion that the second name is also a middle or given name, when it is actually the father's surname. Examples are as follows:

Pablo Valencia Rodriguez Jose Olarte Montes Maria Luisa Salvador Lopez

Spanish Lesson # 3

Greetings and Farewells

Saludos/Despedidas

Greetings/Saludos

What one says in any language has to be based on their relationship with the interlocutors. If a minister speaks to you in the morning, he or she would probably greet you with "Good morning", but probably not "Hi". The choices of how to address someone in Spanish are constructed in three ways: the vocabulary, the verb ending, and the words for "your" and "you".

Informal Greetings are used with family, friends, colleagues and children.

Hola. ?Como estas?

Hi. How are you?

Hola. ?Que tal?

Hi. How are you doing?

Buenos dias. ?Como estas?

Good morning. How are you?

Buenas tardes. ?Como estas?

Good afternoon. How are you?

Formal greetings are used when you are not acquainted with the person to whom you are speaking, an older person, or when the realtionship requires formality. (Formality would be required with your best friend's mother, your minister, the principal of the school, etc.)

Buenos dias. ?Como esta Usted?

Good morning. How are you?

Buenas tardes. ?Como esta Usted?

Good afternoon. How are you?

*Buenas tardes is used until sunset. After sunset, "Buenas noches" is used.

Farewells/Despedidas

These farewells are for both formal and informal situations:

Hasta luego.

So long / See you later

Adios.

Goodbye

Buenas noches.

Good night

These farewells can be used at any time of the day, but are mainly for informal situations.

!Chau! (Ciao)

So long / Good bye

Hasta pronto.

See you soon.

Hasta la vista.

Until next time

Telephone Greetings

Here are some common telephone greetings you might hear if you call the home of a Spanish speaker:

?Alo?

Hello

?Hola?

Hello

?Diga?

Yes / Go ahead

?Bueno?

Yes?

How to Respond to a Greeting

The most common response to ?Como estas? or ?Como esta Usted? is:

Muy bien or Muy bien gracias.

Very well or Very well thank you

In a formal situation you could add:

?Y Usted?

And you?

In an informal situation you could add:

?Y tu?

And you?

Thus, we have three possibilities for formality:

formal to formal

(adults who are not well acquainted)

?Como esta?

Muy bien ?Y Usted?

informal to formal

(teacher to student)

?Como estas?

Muy bien ?Y Usted?

formal to informal

(student to teacher)

?Como esta?

Muy bien ?Y tu?

informal to informal

(student to student or teacher to colleagues)

?Como estas?

Muy bien ?Y tu?

*Some other possible responses to ?Como esta/s? are the following:

No muy bien

Not very well

Regular

Regular

Asi, asi

So so

Mas o meno

More or less okay

Cansado/a

Tired

Spanish Lesson # 4

Conjugation for ser

The conjugation for "ser" will certainly be useful during the school year as you welcome new Spanish students into your classroom.

"Welcome" translated from Spanish to English is "bienvenida" for a female, bienvenido for a male, and bienvenidos for more than one person.

The conjugation for "ser" depends on who you are talking about, as like all Spanish verbs. The purest

form of any verb is called the infinitive form. Examples of the infinitive form in English would be as

follows: to be, to run, to go, to walk, to jump, etc.

In Spanish the infinitive form always ends in the letter "r". "Ser" is the verb which means "to be".

When do we use "ser"? "Ser" is used to discusss or talk about the following:

to express permanent conditions
origin
professions
telling woho someone is
characteristics
mathematical statements
telling time

Here are the simgular forms of "ser" with Spanish to English:

Soy de Peru. soy (I am) from Peru.

To talk to one person informally: (a child, colleague, friend, family)

?De donde eres, Juan? eres Where (are you) from, Juan?

To talk to one person formally:

?De donde es Usted, senora? es Where are you from ma'am?

To talk about one person who is not a part of the conversation:

?De donde es Paula? es Where is Paula from?

Here are the plural forms of "ser" with Spanish to English

To talk about a group of people that includes yourself (we):

Somos de Chile. somos We are from Chile.

To talk to or about a group that does not include yourself:

?De donde son Ustedes? Where are you (all) from?

"Ser" is used to ask where someone or something is from and to identify yourself.

Soy la Senora Richardson. I am Mrs. Richardson.

Antonio Banderas es de Espana. Antonio Banderas is from Spain.

Las muchachas son de Venezuela. The girls are from Venezuela.

?Son Ustedes de Panama? Are you (all) from Panama?

The use of subject pronouns is optional in Spanish. They are used infrequently since the verb forms indicate who is being talked about. Usually the subject pronouns I, we, they are used for emphasis or contrast. Usted and Ustedes are used for formality.

Los numeros de los salones - Classroom Numbers

Three digit room numbers are usually stated as whole numbers. For example, Room 107

is stated as the number one hundred seven, or ciento siete. Room 205 is stated as the number

doscientos cinco.

For practice identify the room numbers of some important room numbers in your own

school. If your school uses letters with numbers to identify rooms this will provide you with the

opportunity to review the alphabet, as well.

Practice

Fill in the blanks with the appropriate room numbers and practice saying them.

1. El laboratorio de computadoras es el__________________________.

2. Mi salon es el ______________________.

3. El salon de la consejera/el consejero (counselor) es el__________________.

Los numeros ordinales - Ordinal Numbers

In school, we utilize ordinal numbers to express grades (fourth grade) and

class periods (second period, third period).

Numeros ordinales (masculinos) Numeros ordinales (femeninos)

primer/primero primera first

segundo segunda second

tercer/tercero tercera third

cuarto cuarta fourth

quinto quinta fifth

sexto sexta sixth

septimo septima seventh

octavo octava eighth

noveno novena ninth

decimo decima tenth

ultimo ultima last

The ordinal number precedes the noun for the ordinals first thru tenth.

Examples: el primer grado (first grade)

la tercera hora (third period)

el cuarto muchacho (the fourth boy)

*Notice that the ordinal must agree with the noun that it modifies in gender.

la tercera hora el cuarto muchacho

In Spanish, ordinal numbers above tenth are expressed as cardinal numbers.

Examples: eleventh grade grado once

twelfth grade grado doce

Telling Time - La hora

In Spanish, "a"indicates the start time of an event:

La clase es a las diez. The class is at 10:00.

El dia comienza a las siete y media. The day begins at 7:30.

"Las" followed by a number from 2-12 indicates a time on the clock.

One o'clock is the only singular number on the clock, so it requires "la".

la una 1:00

las cinco 5:00

las once 11:00

Minutes from 1 to 30 are added to the previous hour:

las dos y diez 2:10

las ocho y veinte y cinco 8:25

Minutes from 31 to 59 are subtracted from the next hour:

las nueve menos veinte 8:40

las once menos once 10:49

For the quarter and half hours, cuarto (quarter) and media (middle of the clock)

are used.

las cinco y cuarto 5:15

las cuatro y media 4:30

las tres menos cuarto 2:45

When stating the time in complete sentences, two verb forms are used:

Es la una. It is one o'clock. (one is singular, hence the singular verb form)

Son las doce. It is twelve o'clock. (All numbers higher than one are plural,

hence, the plural verb form.)

?Que hora es? (What time is it?)

Es la una y media. It's 1:30.

Son las tres y diez. It's 3:10.

Activity

Tell the starting time and the ending time of your school day, your class periods,

your favorite television program, and any other events you might desire for practice.

Examples:

La escuela comienza a las siete y cuarenta y cinco y termina a las dos y veinte y cinco.

School begins at 7:45 and ends at 2:25.

Las noticias empiezan a las diez y terminan a las once.

The news begins at 10:00 and ends at 11:00.

de la manana in the morning

de la tarde in the afternoon

de la noche at night

* These times are not as precise as AM or PM.

de la manana is from midnight to noon

de la tarde is from noon to sundown

de la noche is from sundown to midnight

midnight = la medianoche

noon = el mediodia
