You might want to try www.learnspanish.com. It has a free part and a pay part, but the free part isn't bad at all. It has basic grammar, vocabulary and idioms. There are a lot of free games too. I speak Spanish as a second language and use it to stay in practice.

You might also want to see if your local library has any books or tapes. Another free way to learn is to do a language exchange. You teach someone English for an hour and they teach you Spanish. You can usually find people at ESL schools or local colleges who would like to do this. However, make sure that you always meet the person in a public place like a library or coffee shop. Good luck (buena suerte)!

In Spanish, all nouns are either masculine or feminine.

Masculine Feminine
el chico
boy
la chica
girl

el jardín
garden
la universidad
university

el libro
book
la revista
magazine

el miedo
fear la libertad
liberty


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The idea that nouns have gender seems perfectly natural when the noun stands for a living creature. This is because in English, living creatures often have different names, depending upon whether they are male or female.

Masculine Feminine

man woman
tiger tigress
aviator aviatrix


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following Spanish nouns all denote living creatures.

el gato
male cat
la gata
female cat

el perro
male dog
la perra
female dog

el chico
boy
la chica
girl

el abuelo
grandfather la abuela
grandmother


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How are all of these masculine nouns alike?

el gato
el perro
el chico
el abuelo
Hint: look at both the beginning and the ending of each line.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How are all of these feminine nouns alike?

la gata
la perra
la chica
la abuela
Hint: look at both the beginning and the ending of each line.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"El" and "la" both mean "the."

el chico (the boy)
la chica (the girl)
el perro (the male dog)
la gata (the female cat)
Note: These two words (el, la) are called "definite articles." You will learn more about them in a later lesson.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What do you notice about the last letter of these nouns?

Masculine

gato
perro
chico
abuelo


Feminine

gata
perra
chica
abuela

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nouns that end in -o are usually masculine. Nouns that end in -a are usually feminine.

Notice the word "usually!" There are exceptions to these two rules and you will soon be learning them.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One cannot predict the gender of a noun that stands for a non-living thing. Try to predict whether the Spanish words for the following things are masculine or feminine:

Masculine or feminine?

book
house
money
window


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One cannot predict the gender of a noun, except in the case of living creatures. Do not try to analyze the nature of the object, looking for some inherent masculinity or femininity. It won't work!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Take a guess. Do you think the Spanish word for "dress" is masculine or feminine? You might expect it to be feminine, since a dress is an article of clothing worn by females. Actually, the word for "dress" is a masculine word:

el vestido

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Take another guess. Do you think the Spanish word for "necktie" is masculine or feminine? You might expect it to be masculine, since a necktie is an article of clothing worn by males. Actually, the word for "necktie" is a feminine word:

la corbata

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When you learn a new noun, you should also learn its definite article (el, la). There are several reasons for this:

Because you cannot predict the gender of most nouns.


Because not every noun that ends in -o is masculine, and not every noun that ends in -a is feminine.


Because many nouns end in letters other than o or a.


Because the definite article (el, la) is your clue as to whether a noun is masculine or feminine.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why do you care whether a noun is masculine or feminine? Good question! As you shall see in upcoming lessons, Spanish places a great deal more emphasis on gender than does English.
