\"\"<\/a>Hey, there!<\/p>\n

Whenever we travel to a Spanish-speaking country we go sightseeing and knowing exactly what places are called in Spanish is a good way to get around town.<\/p>\n

But before we move on to learning the actual words, let me share some vocabulary learning tips with you guys, so you will be able to make the most out of this post!<\/p>\n

Vocabulary Learning Tips!<\/strong><\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> Make sure you learn the places with their articles, el or la. Usually (not always) feminine words end in “a” and masculine words end in “o”.<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> When you learn new words, try and make it close to home. For example, if you drop your kids off at the daycare center you could use the word la guarder\u00eda, like this:<\/p>\n

Siempre dejo a mis ni\u00f1os en la guarder\u00eda a las siete de la ma\u00f1ana. [I always drop my kids off at the daycare center at seven am.]<\/em><\/p>\n

or<\/p>\n

Me gusta ir a la iglesia los domingos. [I like to go to church on Sundays.]<\/em><\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> Quiz yourself!<\/p>\n

Make flashcards with the Spanish words on one side and their English translation on the other side. See the side in English and try to remember the Spanish correspondent, WITH the article, that’s very important!<\/p>\n

So, now let’s learn what businesses and places you can find in your neighborhood, en tu barrio.<\/p>\n
