الأخطاء الشائعة لدى المتحدثين باللغة الإسبانية

For Pre-A1 learners, it’s important to remember these simple points:

  • ‘Pet’ vs. specific animal: Remember that pet is a general word for an animal that lives with people. Dog, cat, fish are specific types of pets.
  • Singular and Plural: Most pet names add -s for plural, like one dog, two dogs. But fish is often the same for singular and plural: one fish, many fish.
  • Pronunciation: Listen carefully to how English speakers say these words. For example, snake has a long ‘a’ sound, and horse has an ‘or’ sound.
