Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons
Key learning points
- To pronounce words starting with [h] we ignore it and pronounce the vowel that follows.
- 'We' verb forms for -ar verbs end in -amos, as in 'miramos'. 'They' verb forms for -ar verbs end in -an, as in 'miran'.
- You can use use texts, like a poem, to practise grammar or vocabulary or as inspiration for writing your own poem.
Keywords
[h] - it is not pronounced in Spanish, as in 'hablar'
-ar verb - a verb whose infinitive ends in 'ar', as in 'mirar'
-amos - the ending for the 'we' form of -ar verbs, as in 'miramos'
-an - the ending for the 'they' form of -ar verbs, as in 'miran'
Common misconception
I know from the sound if a Spanish word starts with 'h'.
The letter 'h' is a silent letter in Spanish. We need to learn the spelling of words that start with 'h' by practising vocabulary regularly.
Teacher tip
Teachers may want to extend the practice of silent 'h' by having pupils read the dialogue in A1 out loud.
