I got a Iphone as a gift lately and was very excited about it because of the many applications that I can download for free. Then it dawned upon me that I could perhaps pick up a new language using my new gadget, hence went search and downloaded a lite version (lite=FREE!). Here I am, embarking on my new journey to pick up some Español. My very first words that I had learnt last night:
1. playa ~ beach
2. puente ~ bridge
3. edificio (read as air-di-fi-sio) ~ building
4. iglesia ~ church
5. ciudad (read as q-dar) ~ city
6. fábrica ~ factory
7. granja (read as ger-run-ha) ~ farm
8. bosque (read as bos-k) ~ forest
9. fuente ~ fountain
10. colina ~ hill
11. lago ~ lake
12. mercado ~ market
13. montaña (read as mon-ta-nia) ~ mountain
14. museo (read as mu-say-yo) ~ museum
15. carretera ~ road
16. tienda ~ shop
17. calle (read as carl-yeah) ~ street
18. semáforo ~ traffic light
19. árbol ~ tree
20. pueblo - village
There you go, it seems pretty easy (maybe because I haven't got to the harder ones!) and I do have problem rolling my tongue to pronounce the rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Have fun!!
Adiós Amigo...
