well that's a little more than you asked for. im getting tired so I will just give you some links

here are some more websites below :

before I put them down i just want to point out:

you may notice I made some of them like ex: dependiente(a) and some might have ladependienta and el dependiente. They both mean the same thing but el and e are masculine so you are talking About a Boy and la and a are feminine which means you are talking about a girl.

also la camiseta and la camisa are two different things: camiseta is more of a T-shirt and camisa is more of a dress shirt : I will put links to show below

Websites:

(above was the la camisa (dress shirt)

• http://image.spreadshirt.net/image-server/image/product/7860552/view/1/type/png/width/280/height/280

(above was the la camiseta (T-shirt)

• http://www.donquijote.org/spanishlanguage/numbers/numbers1.asp

Below this is a really helpful free program where you type in a spanish word and a person says it in

spanish so you get a good idea of how it is pronounced. Just make sure to go to the Latin American

spanish (there are 2) sometimes I listen to both of them pronounce something cause it can be hard sometimes to understand but it is really helpful. Try typing in one of these spanish words and selevting the

speaker and see what it does.

also here is something on YouTube that my teacher made us sing along to to learn the spanish alphabet

it really does help to know your alphabet though so practice it helped me (its kind of annoying but it

works)

here it is:
