Time 4 Spanish

Spanish lessons like most subjects taught begin with an introduction to the Spanish language. Learners can read or watch a video clip, which includes a summary of the language. Sometimes an outline listing the names of each lesson often includes a brief summary of the sub topics within the lessons. For example the first lesson usually teaches the Basics: the Spanish alphabet, and learning correct pronunciation of the Spanish consonants and vowels. This lesson may include examples of some simple greetings and time for practicing correct pronunciation. Plural and gender nouns will be part of the first or perhaps second lesson.

For example, in the Rocket Spanish course, each lesson includes audio clips for learners to hear and then mimic the Spanish words, phrases and sentences presented. In other courses, a second lesson may present an introduction to articles and pronouns, especially subject pronouns. Learning the formal and informal use of you is an important part of an early lesson. For example “Usted” is the formal Spanish word for “you” and “tú” is the Spanish word for the informal pronoun for “you”. With practice between the lessons one can learn this and other minor differences between English and Spanish languages.

Another part of the early lessons is learning about capitalization. Knowing where and when, to use stress and accent marks while writing Spanish is one of the early lessons for learning Spanish grammar. Most learners will remember the grade school days of conjugating verbs and the Spanish language lessons includes this very important lesson. The main difference is learning conjugation in Spanish is less difficult because English speakers know and understand the concept before they begin the lesson.

Learners will find lessons on prepositions and learn to use them with ease. Pronouns, adjectives, verbs, articles, prepositions, interrogative pronouns, possessives and adverbs are all words learners will hear and see when learning Spanish. Every language has all the parts of speech and all the languages use those parts of speech in the same manner. An English speaking person who does not have a good grasp on English grammar, has poor concepts of words and word meanings and lacks a good ear for sounds will have difficulties learning Spanish and other languages, but courses like Rocket Spanish make it easier to learn.

As learners move through the free online Spanish lessons they will find joy in knowing they are doing something for themselves. Learning how to tell time, speak the months of the year, the names of everyday objects, the four seasons and so much more will create an inner excitement. The more people learn the more they desire to learn.
