Why learn Spanish?
Spanish is the official language of 20 countries and the second most spoken native language in the world. In the US it is the most useful second language you can pick up, from work to travel to your neighbours.
The Vocavoy course teaches the Spanish of Spain, travelling from Madrid to Cádiz. The grammar and nearly all the vocabulary carry straight over to Latin America; only a handful of words and the vosotros form differ.
Is Spanish hard to learn?
Spanish is one of the easiest languages for English speakers. Spelling matches pronunciation almost perfectly, and thousands of words are shared with English (hotel, restaurante, información). The hard parts are verb endings, the two verbs for "to be" (ser and estar), gendered nouns and the rolled R.
The parts Vocavoy drills hardest in Spanish:
- ser vs. estar
- the rolled double R in perro and carro
- gendered nouns: el café, la cuenta
- the past tenses in Last weekend (Zaragoza)
