Key learning points
- The sound-symbol correspondences [ge] and [gi] can be contrasted for practice.
- These are soft sounds and sound similar to the sound-spelling correspondence [j].

- Adjectives agree with the gender of the noun. Adjectives add detail to description.
Keywords
Gender - grammatical categorisation of all nouns as masculine or feminine
Word class - category of words of similar function e.g. nouns, adjectives, verbs or adverbs
Adjective - word that gives information about a noun
Common misconception
Adjectives come before the noun in Spanish as they do in English. They do not need to change.
In Spanish, adjectives generally come after the noun. They agree with the number and gender of the noun.
