A Starting Point in Language
Study:
One of the first things you're going
to have to adjust to is the fact that there are more than
one word in Spanish equivalent to the English "YOU."
Relationship has to be indicated by the use of tú
or Usted,
vosotros
or Ustedes.
All of these words = you.
You'll learn more about these pronouns
in the Intro
to Pronouns pages. It just takes a little bit of practice
to realize which form you'll have to use with any particular
given individual.
Although Spanish isn't
as difficult as English in the area of pronunciation,
there ARE some words that you might need help with for
the sake of pronunciation. It sure will help when you
decide to get one of these handy talking dictionaries.
You'll never have to ask anyone for help again with pronunciation!

| Exercises: |
| If
you have a pen handy, draw some eyes on your pointing
finger of both hands. |
| Then,
have them talk to each other. |
| Have
them say these expressions: ... MEANINGFULLY! |
| Have
one finger say "¡ Sí !" --- and the other
hand respond "¡ No !" |
| Then
have 'em DUKE IT OUT! |
| Go
through all of these expressions over & over,
just like a 2-year-old. |
| It's
called: LEARNING. |
