Lesson 4

Lesson Four: Similar Words - words ending 'ion'

Key Concepts

  • future tense
  • pronouns
  • formal/informal

Tips

  • Have a look at that word 'Confirmación' again. In Spanish 'Con' means 'With' and 'Firma' means 'Signature' and this is the root of the English word 'Confirm'. When you say "I confirm I will do it" you are partly speaking the latin and meaning "I, with signature, will do it"
  • Now you'll start to notice more and more English words that have their roots in Spanish:
  • One other thing to notice here is when you put 'q' and 'u' together the 'q' takes a 'k' sound. Watch out for this in the future and you'll spot the pattern making it easier to pronounce new words correctly.
