Lesson details

Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons

Key learning points

  1. Reciting tongue twisters is a good way of practising sound-spelling correspondences and pronunciation.
  2. Revisiting vocabulary helps develop confidence and communication.
  3. Many adjectives follow the noun; they agree in gender and number wih the noun they're describing.
  4. 'Querer' means 'to want, wanting'. For 'I want', use 'quiero'; 'you want' - 'quieres'; 'she, he, it wants' - 'quiere'.
  5. To say someone wants to do something, use the correct form of 'querer' plus the infinitive.

Keywords

  • Querer - verb meaning 'to want, wanting'

  • Quiero - 'I want', part of the verb 'querer' meaning 'to want, wanting'

  • Quieres - 'you want', part of the verb 'querer' meaning 'to want, wanting'
