Good to know about Spanish
Spanish is a Romance language, and English has thousands of words from Latin and French, so much of the vocabulary looks familiar: familia (family), música (music), problema (problem), interesante (interesting).
Nouns are masculine or feminine. Words ending in -o are usually masculine and words ending in -a usually feminine: el libro (the book), la casa (the house). A few common exceptions: el día, la mano, el problema.
Spanish is pronounced almost exactly as it is written. Watch h, which is silent (hola), j, a rough h sound made at the back of the mouth (jamón), and ñ, which sounds like ny (español). Questions and exclamations open with an upside-down mark: ¿Cómo estás?
Verbs change with the person, so the pronoun is often left out: hablo means I speak and hablas you speak.
The numbers 16 to 19 are built with dieci-, ten and: dieciséis is 16. From 30, the tens end in -nta: treinta, cuarenta.
