Today's Dose Of Spanish Words - road, street, and more

Spanish Age

In Spanish you have age, like in French. In French you would say, J'ai vingt ans, literally, I have twenty years. Once you speak French fluently, you don't even have to think about it. The correct phrase just pops into your brain and out of your mouth. I hope that eventually the same will apply to Spanish which I am learning with the help of duolingo, which I have installed on both my laptop and my mobile phone.

Spanish - English 

amigo - friend

calle - street (city street, between buildings)

camino - road (between cities, in countryside)

ella / el - she / he

el gimnasio - the gymnasium

en - in

comienza - (she) commences / starts

vieja/o - old / age(d) (from Latin, like the English words veteran and vintage, but the Spanish has both vowels, i and e, i before e)


English - Spanish

gym / gymnasium - gimnasio
friend - amiga / amigo
he - el (with an upward accent on the e. el without an accent is the)
in - en
noise - ruido (like the French word bruit)
road - camino
street - calle
she - ella
vieja / a - age(d) / old
