Key learning points
- [l] and [ll] do not sound the same in Spanish. [ll] is pronounced as in ‘calle’.
- Classifying words by parts of speech is one useful strategy for consolidating vocabulary.
- Hacer is an irregular verb. The singular forms are ‘hago’, I do/make, ‘haces’, you do/make, ‘hace’, she, he does/makes.
- We use ‘hace’ to talk about the weather: hace calor/frío/etc. This translates as ‘it is’ in English.
- Check verbs, nouns and adjectives, word order, little words and idiomacy when translating into Spanish.
