Phonics

Spanish is indeed a phonetic language where letters are generally pronounced consistently, making it easier for learners to sound out words. Unlike English, which has many irregular pronunciations, Spanish pronunciation relies on phonemes that help distinguish words that may look similar to their English counterparts, like "inteligente" (intelligent) and "garaje" (garage). Understanding these differences can significantly improve your speaking and listening skills in Spanish.

Greetings

Greeting people in Spanish is a great way to connect. You can use "¡Hola, buenos días!" for a friendly morning greeting or "Buenas tardes, ¿cómo estás?" for a warm afternoon welcome. When parting ways, simply say "¡Adiós!" to wish them goodbye. These phrases help create a polite and welcoming atmosphere in conversations.

Saying your name

You can ask someone their name in Spanish by saying, "¿Cómo te llamas?", which means, "What is your name?" A typical response would be, "Me llamo...", followed by your name, meaning, "I am called..." This exchange is a friendly way to start a conversation and get to know someone.
