Errori comuni per chi parla spagnolo

A common mistake for Spanish speakers is to think English names are pronounced exactly like Spanish names. For example, Michael is not pronounced like 'Miguel'.

Also, remember that English names are different from Spanish names. Do not try to translate your name directly. Just learn the new English names and their sounds.

Domande frequenti

Do English names have special meanings?

Yes, many English names have meanings, but for Pre-A1, it is most important to learn to recognize and use the names themselves. For example, John means 'God is gracious'.

Are English names pronounced differently from Spanish names?

Yes, the pronunciation of English names is often different from Spanish names. For instance, David sounds different in English than 'David' in Spanish. Listen carefully to how native speakers say them.

How can I remember new English names?

You can remember new English names by writing them down, saying them aloud, and trying to use them in simple sentences. Practice with friends or your teacher. For example, say My friend's name is Sarah.
