WHAT ACCENT IS THIS FROM???

CULTURES |-|-| THE ACCENT BARRIER |-|-|-|-|

Latin American Spanish | The most common Spanish dialect taught in the U.S. is standard Latin American. It is sometimes called "Highland" Spanish since it is generally spoken in the mountainous areas of Latin America.

While each country retains its own accents and has some unique vocabulary, residents of countries such as Mexico, Colombia, Peru, and Bolivia generally speak Latin American Spanish, especially in urban centers.

This dialect is noted for its pronunciation of each letter and its strong "r" sounds.

This Spanish was spoken in Spain in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and was brought to the Americas by the early colonists.

WHAT ACCENT IS THIS FROM ???

Castilian | The Spanish of Madrid and of northern Spain, called Castilian, developed

characteristics that never reached the New World. These include the pronunciation of "ci" and "ce" as "th." In Madrid, "gracias" (thank you) becomes "gratheas" (as opposed to "gras-see-as" in Latin America.)

Another difference is the use of the word "vosotros" (you all, or you guys) as the informal form of "ustedes" in Spain.

Castilian sounds to Latin Americans much like British English sounds to U.S. residents.

"Trade Winds" Spanish | The third major type of Spanish is spoken in the Caribbean, coastal areas

of Latin America, and in some cases in southern Spain. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the accent in Seville, Cádiz, and other cities in Andalusia, in Southern Spain, began to change. Speakers began to drop the final "s" on words.

The settlers and traders of southern Spain took this dialect with them to the Caribbean and other coastal areas. Today Caribbean or "Lowland" Spanish is characterized by its relative informality, its rapid pace, and the dropping of "s" sounds, allowing people to talk more quickly.

WHAT ACCENT IS FROM???

Italians Influence Argentina | A fourth type of Spanish has developed in and around Buenos Aires and in parts of Uruguay.

It is characterized by some out-of-date grammar, and a vocabulary and pronunciation heavily influenced by Italians who settled the area in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Generally in the Spanish world "tú" is the singular way of saying "you." In Buenos Aires, however, "vos" is used instead. It is accompanied by a modified old Spanish verb form. It is as if part of the English-speaking world still used "thee" and "thou" in everyday speech.

For instance, they pronounce the "ll" as an English "zh," while most other Spanish speakers pronounce "ll" as an English "y."

The Buenos Aires accent is instantly recognizable throughout the Spanish world. Gaucho poetry and twentieth-century Buenos Aires novelists have preserved this speech as a literary style.

The influence of Italian has even led to the development of a separate language, Lunfardo, which blends Spanish and Italian. Argentine intellectuals have produced Lunfardo dictionaries and books in an effort to keep the language alive.

3. THERE IS ONE LETTER THAT IS SILENT IN SPANISH.WHAT LETTER IS IT ?

A, E, I, O, & U ARE VOWELS. ANSWER THE FOLLOWING:/

1. THE WORDS THAT DESCRIBE A BOY END IN THE VOWEL 

2. THE WORDS THAT DESCRIBE A GIRL END IN

3. DO YOU KNOW WHAT A DIPHTHONG (DIPTONGO) IS?

[ PRIMERA ACTIVIDAD ]:

A, E, I, O, & U ARE VOWELS.

SPANISH VOWEL SOUNDS GOOD FOR NOTES

  ENGLISH EXAMPLE | SPANISH EXAMPLE/A/ = "AH“ FATHER, SAW PAPA, AGUA/E/ = "EH“ MET, BED ESPERANZA, BEBE/I/ = "EE“ BEE, LEAF SÍ, CHICA/O/ = "OH“ LOW, KNOW LOCO, BONITO/U/ = "OO“ SUE, DO GRUPO, FUTURO

When you see two vowels next to each other, one strong (a, e, o) and one weak (i, u) or two weak vowels, all you have to do is combine the two vowels you see into one syllable; this is called a diphthong. To practice pronouncing a diphthong, make the sound for the first vowel, and then the second one. Then repeat faster and faster until it sounds like one syllable.Ex. Hoy, Ow!, Ay,Ay,Ay; Hay, Ciudad, Fuimos, etc.

¡CORRE EL TIEMPO!

1. Use es (singular form of ser) when referring to "one o'clock" and use son (plural form of ser) when referring to all other hours of the day.

2. The feminine article (la, las) is used before the hour because it refers to "la hora."

3. For am and pm, use de la mañana (morning), de la tarde (afternoon), and de la noche (evening). This is how we distinguish from the periods of the day

4. Minutes can be added to the hour using the word y (and).5. Minutes can be subtracted from the hour using the word

menos(less) after the first half hour.6. The words, media (half) and cuarto (quarter) can be used

as well.

¡CORRE EL TIEMPO! 1. Use ES when referring to "one o'clock" and use SON when referring to all other hours.

To say the hour “la hora,” in the singular form of ser “to be,” we use es for one o’clock and the plural form, son, for all the other times. When someone asks you ¿Qué hora es? You respond > Es la una (if the time is within the 1 o’clock hour) or Son las + the hour (if the time is after 1 o’clock) > Es la una > Son las tres, Son las cinco

¡CORRE EL TIEMPO! 2. The feminine article (la, las) is used before the hour because it refers to "la hora."

        

“La” will be used in the first hour, since it is in singular form “Es la una.” -It’s one o’clock

“Las” will be used for all the hours, as it is in plural form “Son las tres.” -It’s three o’clock

¡CORRE EL TIEMPO! 3. For am and pm, use de la mañana, de la tarde, and de la noche.

To indicate time of day when using the 12-hour clock, use de la mañana all until before noon (mediodía), de la tarde between noon and early evening, and de la noche between early evening and midnight (medianoche). Por = by de = of

Por la mañanaPor la tardePor la nocheAl mediodíaA (la) medianoche

In the morningIn the afternoonAt nightAt mid-day, at noonAt midnight

¡CORRE EL TIEMPO!

4. Minutes can be added to the hour using the word y (and).

 

To say the time after the hour (but before half past the hour), use y (and) then the number of minutes.

Es la una y cinco. > It's five minutes past one.Son las tres y doce. > It's twelve minutes past three.

¡CORRE EL TIEMPO! 5. Minutes can be subtracted from the hour using the word menos(less) after the first half hour.

 

It is proper to use menos to tell time during the second half of each hour, stating the upcoming hour first and the number of minutes until that following hour.

Es la una menos cinco. > It's five minutes till one.Son las tres menos doce. > It's twelve minutes till three.

¡CORRE EL TIEMPO!

6. You can also use the words media (half) and cuarto (quarter).

 

Es la una y media. > It's half past one.Son las dos y cuarto.> It's quarter past two.Son las tres menos cuarto.> It's quarter till three.Son las cuatro menos quince. > It’s fifteen til four.
