(Because I don't have a speaking partner, I'll just pass on whatever I learned in class to whoever's reading so I can practice my writing at least!)
First lesson this week was the alfabeto, identifying masculino and femenino objects, and numerales cardinales. We're to study introductions and numbers and will be tested with a bingo game next class :D I love my teacher, she's amusing and helpful (and hot) and insists on speaking in Spanish as much as possible which is confusing but necessary. Need to study los verbos ser y llamarse, and how to count up to cien. Die lor. Anyway. Introductions!
¿Cómo te llamas? (komo te jamas, What is your name?)
Me llamo Alia. (me jamo your name here)
¿Cuántos años tienes? (kuantos anyos tienes?, How old are you? literally 'How many years do you have?')
Tengo veintitres. (ten-go your age here)
(comment/ask me to get your age in Spanish! will be good practice for me)
The next two have to do with where you are from; the first is nationality (as nobody there really cares about race) and which area/city you are from.
¿Cuál es tu nacionalidad? (kual es tu nathionalidad?)
Soy malasia. (soi your nationality here)
¿De dónde eres? (de donde eres?)
De Kuala Lumpur. (de your area/city here)
*the Spanish pronounce every letter and syllable, with the notable exception of 'H', which is silent. All E's are pronounced much like Rihanna's "eh eh eh" in 'Umbrella' (sorry best description I could think of hehe)
Hasta la proxima semana!
