Lesson details
Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons
Key learning points
- The SSC [que] is pronounced as in the word '¿por qué?' and [qui] as in the word 'equipo'.
- Guessing the meaning is not a reliable strategy for most Spanish words.
- In a paper dictionary, words are listed in alphabetical order.
- An online dictionary gives us the meaning(s) of the word, its word class, examples of usage, and pronunciation.
- Both dictionaries give us the word class using abbreviations - often in italics and sometimes in a different colour.
Keywords
Que - pronounced as in '¿por qué?'
Qui - pronounced as in 'equipo'
Common misconception
I can guess the meaning of the words I don't know just by looking at them.
Guessing the meaning is not a reliable strategy for most words in Spanish as it may lead to misunderstanding, especially for tricky or abstract vocabulary.
Equipment
