A complete A1 English course designed exclusively for native Spanish speakers. Every lesson explains English through the lens of Spanish — tackling the pro-drop habit, false friends (embarazada ≠ embarrassed), the two TH sounds Spanish doesn't have, the he/she/it -s trap, do/does questions, and more. All explanations reference Spanish equivalents so you build bridges rather than starting from zero.
The 5 sounds Spanish doesn't have: TH (/θ/ and /ð/), H (not silent!), V (not B), W, and the schwa /ə/. Plus English word stress — stress-timed rhythm vs Spanish syllable-timed rhythm. Front-loaded because pronunciation habits form fast.
The biggest conceptual leap for Spanish speakers: English 'to be' (am/is/are + was/were) replaces both ser AND estar. Plus there is/there are replacing 'hay', and the essential contractions of spoken English.
English articles have NO gender — 'the' works for all nouns. Adjectives always go BEFORE the noun (red house, not house red). Plurals are simpler than Spanish. Plus possessives and the strict SVO word order.
The #1 grammar mistake for Spanish speakers: the he/she/it -s (she works, not she work). Do/does for questions and negatives — completely different from Spanish question formation. Present continuous vs simple present.
The most dangerous words for Spanish speakers: embarazada ≠ embarrassed, librería ≠ library, actualmente ≠ actually, largo ≠ large, sensible ≠ sensitive. Plus 200 core everyday vocabulary words and survival phrases.
Regular past -ed (one form for ALL subjects — no personal endings!), the 20 essential irregular verbs, and did/didn't for past questions and negatives. No imperfect vs preterite distinction needed at A1.
English numbers (11 = eleven, 12 = twelve — not like Spanish), telling time with past/to/o'clock/half, and the essential modal verbs: can/can't for ability, could for polite requests, would like for polite ordering, should for advice.
Future with going to (plans) vs will (spontaneous/predictions), connectors for natural-sounding speech, and a complete A1 capstone review covering all the Spanish→English traps conquered. Plus the A2 roadmap.
