We started our Spanish lessons today and it was much better than the last go. Our teacher actually spoke some English, so we could ask questions and get answers (a shocking idea, isn't it?!).
Some useful things I learned:
Nouns ending in "sion" or "cion" (both pronounced "see-own") are always feminine. For example: la television (television) or la profesion (profession). La denotes feminine and el is used for masculine nouns.
In addition, nouns ending in "eria" are always feminine. For example: la libreria (book store) or la panaderia (bakery).
The end of a describing word (adjective) is usually changed to reflect whether the subject is male or female but professions that end with "te" remain the same and can be used for a male or female subject. For example: el/la estudiante (student) or el/la cantante (singer)
@ = aroba
Exciting, huh? Off to do my homework!
