¡Bienvenidos a la clase de español!

Why choose Spanish? Spanish is a language that is spoken all over the world. There are 20 official Spanish-speaking countries. There are other countries that have extremely large Spanish-speaking populations, like Belize and the United States, but the official language is ________________.

Spanish is a romance language. This means that it evolved over many of years from spoken Latin. There are 5 romance languages; Romanian, ______________, ___________________, ________________, and ______________________. All of these were created from Latin as the Romans occupied what is now Europe. When the Romans occupied Spain, they spoke Latin. But the Moors also occupied Spain for about 700 years and they spoke Arabic, so the languages mixed to create Spanish.

Today, Spanish is still changing because of technology and global influences. Many English words are being used in Spanish-speaking countries. Also, Spanish is influencing other languages. Are there Spanish words that you already understand? List a couple here:

Pronunciation and Punctuation

There are some important differences when speaking Spanish. There are some additional letters to learn, as well as some differences in vowel sounds. Let’s practice!a aguab burritoc

There are also differences in Spanish punctuation, as you probably noticed above. Here are some things to keep in mind when we are reading and writing. Let’s take a look...

¿ ? Questions in Spanish begin with an inverted question mark, and end with a regular question mark. Here is an example: ¿Cuál es la fecha? _________________________¡ ! Exclamations in Spanish begin with an inverted exclamation mark. Here is an example: ¡Qué bien! _________________________’ The only accent mark in Spanish moves from left to right. It is only used over vowels: á, é, í, ó, ú. Try copying

these words with accents:sábado______________ Perú_____________ bolígrafo_______________~ This is called a tilde and is only ever used over the letter n, like this ñ or Ñ.mañana__________________ montaña_______________________

Confused? or if you have questions, please ask...it can be a bit hard to understand.
