You can often leave out the subject pronoun in Spanish because of the way the verbs are conjugated. There are separate endings for I, you, he/her/you(formal), we, and them/you all. Since some of the endings belong to only one pronoun, you don't need to put in the pronoun.
Take -ar verbs. They are verbs ending in -ar, such as caminar, escuchar, and cantar. Their conjugations are the same each time. In order, for yo, tú, él/ella/usted, nosotros, and ellos/ellas/ustedes: -o, -as, -a, -amos, -an. You replace the -ar with one of those, depending on the subject pronoun.
You can leave out the subject pronoun for those verbs because you can usually determine by the verb ending what the pronoun is. If the verb is "miro", then the pronoun must be "yo," because the ending -o only goes with the subject "yo." The same thing for "cenamos." The pronoun must be "nosotros", because the ending -amos only goes with the subject "nosotros."
