Because of the technological advancement, learning methods and set-ups have been significantly improved to meet the varying needs and demands of individual learners. And this same technological advancement resulted in the following situations, which altogether make learning Spanish today very timely: 1. The articles A or AN are required in English but are not used in Spanish. You say, NO SOY MARINERO, SOY CAPIT N. (I am not a mariner, I am a captain.) A definite article is usually used for days of the week (singular EL and plural LOS). The correct way of saying I work on Mondays is TRABAHO LOS LUNES. But keep in mind that article usage is a basic Spanish lesson, and your lapses may not reflect your interest in Spanish favorably. 3. Overlook the use of right preposition. Learning Spanish preposition is perhaps one of the most challenging parts of your learning language experience primarily because Spanish prepositions usually have multiple English equivalents. Immerse yourself in the culture, listen to Spanish songs and watch Spanish movies. Visit Spanish restaurants and practice reading the menu on your own. Getting into conversation groups is another way on how you could learn Spanish. There may be some local groups who meet regularly to help each other s language skills. As you progress in your Spanish lessons, pay attention, however, to the many times where the subject is placed after the verb. You will notice changing the word order do change, however subtly, the meaning of a sentence. This is the same case when some sentence construction in English where a preposition is sometimes placed at the end of a sentence. Before the letters E and I, the letter stands for a harsh letter H, as in PAGINA. The Spanish R is formed using the tip of tongue on the upper palate behind the front teeth. The English R is done in the back of the mouth with the back of the tongue. Meanwhile, RR produces a trilling sound. And the letter Z sounds like the TH in the English word THIN.
