Examples in English would be MALADY, MALEVOLENT, MALFUNCTION, and MALICE. In Spanish, the words would include MALEVOLO (malevolent), MALFORMACION (malformation) and MALVADO (malignant). They all begin with the prefix MAL. Suffixes Suffixes are tricky in both English and Spanish. There are two main types of suffixes in Spanish: augmentative and diminutive. Some pronouns are neuter (lo and ello) but used only under limited circumstances. Basic rule Ordinarily, all nouns and adjectives ending in -O (and -OS in the plural form of adjectives) are classified as masculine. Nouns and adjectives that end in A (and AS for the plural adjectives) are feminine. Following this, all masculine nouns go with masculine adjectives and articles, and feminine nouns have their own feminine adjectives and articles. Remember them as you converse whether with a fellow learner or with a native speaker. 1. Construct your sentences according to English sentence structure. Although in many cases, English sentence structure applies to Spanish, there are some instances when doing so makes grammatically unsound sentences. Ending in prepositions In English, it is common to end sentences in prepositions, although grammarians frown on this. In Spanish, it is completely forbidden. The correct way of saying Whom can I eat with? is CON QUIEN PUEDO COMER? Quien and que Sometimes, QUIEN is also used wrongly in relative clauses to mean who . If you want to stop reading and resume at a later time, no problem. Learning is under your control. And in this case, there are no pressures to bug you, making the learning process more effective. 5. Learning is tailored for all ages. The saying Age doesn t matter also applies in learning Spanish. Whatever your age, whatever your reason for learning, there are lessons and learning methods appropriate for you. Spanish, in the first place, has become a global language, belonging to the same league as English. So to say that to learn speaking Spanish is useless is very old-fashioned. Allowing the kids to learn Spanish is not just about being bilingual, although that in itself opens up many opportunities for them.
