Síntesis del Episodio

The language is charged with gender power. If two words are not paired correctly, the imbalance creates waves of discomfort in its users.

Knowing Spanish gender separates the Spanish language learners from the fluent speakers.

Getting the hang of Spanish gender can take time, but it is the next big step after getting a handle on the Spanish learning basics, such as learning how to self-teach, making Spanish words plural and knowing where to place accent marks. The following tips regarding Spanish gender will help train your brain to recognise, categorise and eventually produce gender accurately while speaking Spanish.
