In Spanish, the days of the week are not capitalized. To say on Monday or on Saturday, you only need to use el before the day of the week.
La fiesta es el | lunes martes miércoles jueves viernes sábado domingo |
At the beginning of words, the letters b and v are pronounced much like an English b (as in "bean"). But in the middle of words, they often sound like a hybrid between b and v (as in "van" but with the lips touching).
In Spanish, double ll sounds similar to y in the English word “yes,” though you may hear some Spanish speakers pronounce ll as in “vision”, “shop”, or “jar.”
Pay attention to the difference between n and ñ! A Spanish n is pronounced the same as the letter n in English, but ñ is a little tricky.
Remember that when talking about people, the ending of an adjective depends on the person’s gender. For example, Pedro es mexicano, but María es mexicana. This applies not only to people, but to any noun!
