THE  INDICATIVE

1) The present tense in Spanish corresponds to:

• The simple present: 

he says  hello =  dice hola

we go to the movies = vamos al cine

• The progressive tense:

it is rainning = llueve

we are eating = comemos

• The form with do:

I don't go very often, but when I do (go) ...)

No voy con frecuencia, pero cuando voy ...

2) It is used :

• when asking for instructions:

where sall I put this book?

¿donde pongo este libro?

• To describe an action beginning in the past and continuing to the present:

I have been here for a month

llevo aquí un mes   or   hace un mes que estoy aquí

THE  PRESENT TENSE

VERBO TRABAJAR  (VERB TO WORK)

Subject (personal) pronouns

- Spanish subject pronouns are usually omitted unless a certain emphasis is required :

• no vamos  =  we're not going

• nosotros no vamos  =  we aren't going

- The subject pronoun is normally omitted when it is implicit in the verb ending:

• canto  =  I sing

- It is sometimes necessary to include the pronoun to avoid ambiguity:

• cuando él llegó yo estaba cantando = when he arrived   I   was singing

- The subject pronoun is used in the second half of a comparison:

• la conoces mejor que yo  =  you know her better than I
  

- Also it is used immediately after: según, salvo, excepto, and sometimes entre:

según  yo  =  according to me

Subjects

Spanish spelling is an exact reflection of the pronunciation of the language. The pronunciation of each individual letter in Spanish is subject to certain strict rules and a word is pronounced simply by adding together the sounds of the individual letters which make up the word.

SPANISH LANGUAGE COURSE FOR FOREIGNERS

By: Carola Pozo Cortez

Spanish is the official language spoken in many countries which are mainly located in America and in the Iberian Peninsula. There are approximately 500 million Spanish speakers all over the world.

As it can be seen, Spanish is key not only for being spoken in Spain and Latin America, but also in other countries where the official language is not Spanish, for instance in the United States, Brazil and some European countries.
 

All these reasons, aside from other reasons, trigger me to offer you a Spanish Language course, in order to bring it closer to all those people who have the intention or wish to learn it and to the ones who try to improve it.

From here, I will provide orientation and coordinate the learning process, bringing an easy methodology  without any complexities and trying to simplify the grammar contents and making emphasis in the ongoing practice.

I want to welcome all those people who join me in this aim and to wish for them to be succesful. I have no doubt that we can go through this way together until getting to the ultimate goal, which is: LEARNING SPANISH.

El idioma español es la lengua oficial de muchos países situados especialmente en América y también la Península Ibérica. Existen, por lo tanto, cerca de 500 millones de hispanohablantes en el mundo.

Como se ve, el idioma Español, es importante porque no solo se habla en España y  Latinoamérica, sino también en otros países donde el idioma oficial no es Español, tratese de Estados Unidos, Brasil y algunos países Europeos.
