The Spanish language is very easy to learn because it is very consistent. Once you learn the subject pronouns, the basic rules of regular and irregular verb conjugation and number and gender agreement, you will be reading, writing and speaking Spanish in no time. Spanish subject pronouns are very similar to English subject pronouns. A difference in Spanish is that you sometimes must specify gender or number. For example, there are two ways to say “they” in Spanish. If you want to say “they”, and are talking about only females, you must use the pronoun “ellas”. If you are talking about males or a mixed group of males and females, you must use the pronoun “ellos”. There are also 4 ways to say “you” in Spanish. When using this pronoun you must decide between the singular and plural forms as well as the formal and informal forms.

Once you have mastered subject pronouns, you can begin to conjugate verbs. In Spanish there are two types of verbs, regular and irregular. Regular verbs are all conjugated the same way. First you take off the last two letters and then add the ending that corresponds to the appropriate subject pronoun. In order to conjugate an irregular verb, you simply have to memorize the different forms of the verb.
