The Alphabet/ El alfabeto.

1) Understanding and introduction to vowels and consonants.

The English alphabet is made up of 26 letters, 5 vowels and 21


consonants. In contrast, the Spanish alphabet has 27 letters in
total, the above-mentioned letters plus one more consonant, the
"ñ".

Vowels (a, e, i, o, u) are letters that sound like themselves without


the need to include another vowel sound as consonants do. Both
vowels and consonants are essential for better English
pronunciation, because if we learn to pronounce them correctly,
we will have no difficulty pronouncing whole words.

A= ei
E= i
I= ai
O= ou
U= iu

In the case of vowels, although in Spanish they can be used as numeral


connectors, in English the letter A and I are used independently in
sentences.

For example: ‘‘Today's meal will be a pasta dish’’.

Consonants (b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, w, x, y, z) are those


letters of the alphabet that are not vowels. In English, consonants are
divided into two groups, voiceless and voiced.
Voiceless consonants are consonants that we do not pronounce or give
any sound to even though they are present in certain words (G, GH, H, K,
P, S, and U, W).

Some of the consonants may be voiceless depending on the word in


which they are used.
 Silent G: assign, foreign, design.
 Silent GH: right, drought, eight,
 Silent H: architect, chaos, hour, where.
 Silent K: know, knit, knowledge.
 Silent P: cupboard, raspberry, receipt.
 Silent S: island, aisle.
 Silent U: biscuit, guest, guitar.
 Silent W: wrong, write, whole.

The Numbers/Los numeros.
A number is an abstract concept used for counting (quantities),
measuring (magnitudes) and labelling. The simplest numbers, which we
all use in everyday life, are the natural numbers: 1, 2, 3, etc. and they
also serve as ordinals, to establish an order (first, second...).

1) How to write the numbers./Como escribir los numeros

English numbers as a symbol "1, 2, 3, 4...” They are written in the same
way as in Spanish; however, when you compare the numbers written in
English with the pronunciation of the numbers in English you will notice
that they are totally different.

To be verb/ Verbo ser o estar.

As in any language, the verb to be is one of the main verbs in English. You
can find it in almost any text and you can hear it at any time in any of its
conjugations and meanings, so it is very important to use it well. And that is
precisely what this article is about.

Meaning of the verb to be

The verb to be is one of the most chameleon-like verbs in the English


language, so its meaning often depends on the context in which you find it.
However, its main meanings are as follows:

1. Ser

He is smart = Él es inteligente

2. Estar

It is cold today = Hoy está haciendo frío

3. Haber

Is there anybody inside? = ¿Hay alguien adentro?
