El eco.. *echo.. echo*

!!!Feliz Ano Nuevo!!! (Sorry I don't have the accents ) Is it possible to put 3 exclamation marks in Spanish??? (Even in English it's only in comics... )

[Awagode]

It's possible, although we don't usually put them. With one at the beginning (¡) and one at the end (!) it's enough. :3.

[Conia]

Spanish threeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeead \o/

[Miss Smiles]

Wow, spanish.

We can start learning or teaching alphabet first!~ If no one is teaching, I know some, I can teach if you like me to.

Lesson 1

Spanish does have alphabet like English! So before we can start to learn common words and phrases, let's get acquaintance to alphabets. If you see the underline, that syllable is stressed.

SPANISH ALPHABET

A - ah
B - beh
C - theh
D - deh
E - eh
F - ehfeh
G - kheh
H - acheh
I - ee
J - khota
K - ka
L - ehleh
M - emeh
N - aynneh
O - oh
P - peh
Q - koo
R - erreh
S - ehseh
T - teh
U - oo
V - oobheh
W - dobleh beh
X - ekees
Y - ee greeyega
Z - theta

And try to pronounce them!

Lastly, let's look at vowels. the underlined words are for pronunciation of the letter.

A for gracias - gratheeyas (in length, between a in: English - pat, bar)

E for 1. --> puedo - pwedo (like e in get)
2. --> me - meh ( in syllable ending in a vowel: e in they)

I for si - see ( ee - feet )

O for dos - dos ( o - got )

U for una - oona ( oo - food )


Y for y - ee ( only a vowel when alone/at the end of a word. ee in feet )

Practice pronouncing! Lesson 2 will be about consonants and greetings.

But I guess you both too good to study this basics.

This thread is so quiet... :v

[Conia]

Not much Spanish people here...

[slakat]

oh, great topic for me it's kinda strange to read the alphabet like that, specially the 'C' and 'z'.

I say iy like this:

C => Se, like in SEnd

Z => Se-Ta, reading ta as in 'tan'

and N it's more like eh-ne

the sound kheh (for G and J) it's like imitate an angry cat ggggggggrrr (without the rrrrr part)

And , of course, we have the Ñ (ñ) => ehgneh, it's the same as "gn" in french, like in d'artagnan.

I live in Chile, btw. Probably the 'Z' like "theta" is ok in Spain.

Quiero unión, mi amigo .

Hola compañero sudamericano!


"I want union, my friend" or "I want to join, my friend"?

Hola aunque es compañera jaja

Pretty good lessons, Artistic Poet.

iAye! Tengo vecinos celebran una fiesta de cumpleano... estan muy fuerte... =_=...

[Awagode]

Jajajaja, ¿de verdad, AntiaAPTX-4869? (Btw, when we laugh and we have to write our laugh -I don't now if I'm making myself clear- we don't write "hahahaha" as in English, but "jajajaja". As you ay now, the 'h' in spanish isn't pronounced). ¿De quién es la fiesta?
(Translation: ¿Really? And ¿whose party is it?).

It depends of what type os spanish you wanna talk. The South-american accent is quite different from the Spanish one. You can distinguish it very easily by listening to the "z" and "c". Quick lesson. With the "c". If it's infront of 'a' or 'o' or 'u' you pronounce "ka" "ko" and "ku". But if you want to make the sound "ke" and "ki", you write: 'que' and 'qui'. Why? The sond of 'ce' and 'ci' is totally different. In Spain we say "the" and "thi". For the "z" is quite the same. 'Za' is pronounced "tha", 'ze' = 'the', "zi" = 'thi", "zo" = 'tho", and "zu" = "thu".
It's the first time I try to teach Spanish so really, if you don't understand just shout. :3.

Si, yo se. Tuve un profesor en ano pasado quien fue de espana. Soy en Espanol 2, pero no soy bueno en eso todavia. ^^;

Pues, no se de quien la fiesta era. mis vecinos fueron muy fuerte... aye... Me gusta culturas de Latin y mas, pero a veces molestando. (lol annoying = molestando?)...

I don't think I wrote some of them correctly. sentence making can be confusing with all of those conjugations...
