Hello or should I say Hola ;P
Hola! Mi nombre es Ria! (I think that's right...)
I really want to learn Spanish but I don't quite know where to start so I've come here to learn. I hope that I'll learn more by coming here. One of the things I'm eager to learn informing sentences. I searched hot chocolate once, just out of curiosity and instead of finding chocolate caliente it was caliente chocolate then I decided that this wasn't going to be easy at all haha Hopefully I'll learn we'll. I want to learn more languages but I want to start with this! |

You have come to the right place to learn Spanish. Start by learning Spanish vocabulary and useful Spanish phrases. I have sent you some. Usually but not always the Spanish noun comes first and then the adjective. Banco nacional. National bank. (Same thing with all the Latin languages.) Un hombre mexicano. A Mexican man. Una mujer mexicana. A Mexican woman. It sounds backwards but to Spanish speakers English sounds backwards. Anyway I learned Italian first and then Spanish. Italian has this same noun before the adjective thing too. Therefore if you want to learn the Italian language later you'll already know about this. Banca nazionale. National bank.

Hi Ria, welcome to the forums.
If you'd like a native Spanish speaker to pronounce your name using two syllables, like you do in English, you would spell it Ría. There's an "Accents" drop-down menu just above where you type. You can use it to insert all the special characters needed when typing in Spanish. 'Chocolate caliente' is the correct way to say 'hot chocolate'. |

Without the accent mark, 'ia' is pronounced as a diphthong is Spanish (one syllable). So, instead of the two syllables you're used to hearing in English, a native Spanish speaker would pronounce the two vowels using a single syllable if you don't place an accent mark over the 'i'. For example, the English and Spanish words for 'radio' look exactly alike. We English speakers say three syllables. Spanish speakers only say two syllables.
