Learning languages is indispensable in the modern world. Your social status and position at work depend on your knowledge. Without languages you cannot even have a good rest abroad. And the more and more widely you know languages, the easier it will be to establish contact, understand people from different countries, expand your horizons, that is, develop.
The most common and most popular for learning are: English, French, Spanish, Italian and Chinese. But where to start? This article discusses the basics of the Spanish language: who is easier to learn and how much will it take to learn? You will also learn to keep up to ten in the Spanish account, and then up to a million.
Spanish language
To begin with, this language belongs to the Romance group. Spanish will easily be given to those who have already studied or are studying French or Italian. They are very similar in structure, grammar rules and pronunciation, and they also contain a large number of similar, if not identical, words.
Nevertheless, it is best to start learning Spanish with the alphabet and reading rules. Although the Latin alphabet is used in this language, the pronunciation of the letters is very different. For example, the letter j in English is read as [jay], in Spanish it is pronounced [jota].
Spanish reading rules are pretty easy: both spelling and reading. But we turn to the alphabet and see that first you need to learn how the individual letters sound.
You can also try reading simple texts. You don’t need to understand them at all: this will put reading rules into your head. And later it will be easier to remember new words. Gradually, you will also remember frequently occurring words.
But if you have already completed this, then you can start memorizing simple phrases, for example:
Me llamo ... [Me yamo] - My name is ....
Yo vivo en Rusia [Yo vivo en Rusya] - I live in Russia.
Yo tengo ... años [Yo tengo ... agnos] - I am ... years old.
But to say how old you are, you need to deal with numbers and numbers.
Spanish score up to 10
First, we’ll deal with numbers, from which we can build complex numbers in the future. As mentioned above, it is easier to learn material for those who have already studied Romance languages. The Spanish account is practically no different from the French.
0 - cero [emphasis] (emphasis on e).
1 - uno [uno] (emphasis on y).
2 - dos [dos].
3 - tres [tres].
4 - cuatro [cuatro] (emphasis on a).
5 - cinco [sinco] (emphasis on and). The first letter is pronounced between t and s.
6 - seis [seis].
7 - siete [emphasis on].
8 - ocho [emphasis] (emphasis on the first o).
9 - nueve [nueve] (emphasis on the last vowel).
10 - diez [dies] (emphasis on the first syllable).
To quickly remember the Spanish score, repeat the numbers first in order, and then randomly. Or ask someone to ask you randomly. So it’s worth doing with absolutely any information in order to better absorb it.
Children's songs are a great way to remember something, because they have a simple motive, catchy words and a melody.
Spanish score: tens, hundreds, thousands and millions
With numbers it will be a little harder. There are no songs on the Spanish score after 20, so you should rely only on yourself. To remember numbers, just call them every day, for example, up to 100. When you manage them, count in Spanish from 100 to 1,000. Below is a table with numbers and numbers from zero to one billion.
As you can see, numbers are formed by adding the ending to the base of the numbers from 1 to 9.
To dozens, the ending -nta is added, except twenty (veinte), where -nte is added, ten are just diez.
As for complex numbers from 20 to 99, for example, forty-one or seventy-six, they all form the same way, except for those between 20 and 30. Twenty is a kind of exception to the rule, such numbers are written in one word (vientiuno - 21). Starting from 30 and ending with 90, they are written in 3 words (cuarenta y seis - 46). A dozen is taken, then i or y, a digit is added.
Hundreds take a digit and add -cientos. For example, doscientos, if translated literally, you get two hundred. You also see that the doscientas variant is possible, which refers to the feminine gender of the subject being spoken about. In Romance languages, it is customary to indicate the genus of an object using numbers and verbs. In Spanish, there is the pronoun ellos (from el - he), that is, they are masculine, and there are ellas (from ella - she), they are feminine.
And how to say a large number, for example, 4 million; 145 thousand; 1593? The sequence is exactly the same as in Russian: cuatro millones; ciento cuarenta y cinco; mil quinientos noventa y tres.
Conclusion
So, this article discusses numbers in Spanish, where to start learning them and how to remember them better. Children's songs and short simple stories make it easier to learn and understand the language. The Spanish account with pronunciation from zero to one billion is also parsed.
And to learn and understand the language, you need not only to memorize the rules and words. Need practice, a great desire and complete immersion in this environment.
