Vocales fuertes y débiles
Just as in English vowels there are strong & weak, so when combined they create diphthongs & triphthongs.
The strong vowels are a, e & o.
The weak vowels are i & u.
Diphthongs:
the combination of a strong and weak vowel or 2 weak vowels.
When composed of a strong and weak vowel the strong one is stressed.
When composed of 2 weak vowels the last one is stressed.
Triphthongs: the combination of a strong vowel between 2 weak vowels the strong vowel is stressed.
However, Diphthongs & Triphthongs may NOT have a vocalized separation unless there is a written accent.
Rules for Stress
In Spanish, words are spelled just like they _______________. In order to take advantage of
this simple and nearly perfect system of spelling, one must first know the rules for stress - that
is, how to know which syllable is pronounced the ______________________.
Natural Stressed Rules
Rule 1:
Rule 2:
Words ending in a ___________; N or S are
Words ending in a ____________ (not
stressed on the _______ to last syllable.
including n and s) are stressed on the _______
casa
ca – sa
Rule 3:
libro
li – bro
syllable.
papel
verdad
pa – pel
ver - dad
Written accents are also used to differentiate
between words that are pronounced the same
but have different ____________ or
grammatical uses:
si – if
el – the
tu - your
sí – yes
él – he
tú - you
To accent or not to accent!
Words that do not follow Rule 1 or 2 must
have a written accent mark over the stressed
vowel.
miércoles
lápiz
There are additional formal rules for written accents, but to make it simpler you
MUST first ______________________ these.
Don't think of these rules as burdensome, but rather as your friends.
They allow you to pronounce any Spanish word ___________________.

More about Number and Gender
Due to F.O.L. #1 we know that ALL nouns in Spanish have
__________________ & ___________________.
How do I know if a noun is masculine or feminine?
 NOT SO EASY …
1. First, think about the ____________________________ of the word.
If the definition of the word refers to a

noun is __________________________.
2. Then,
If the definition of the word refers to a
girl or a woman (daughter, sister, mother,
etc.), the noun is __________________.
at the ________________________ of the word.

So 3% of the words need to be
memorized.
So 2% of the words need to be

sovereignty and independence from Spain on September 15, 1821.
Guatemala Independence Day History
From 1811 to 1818, Captain General José de Bustamante ruled the
Kingdom of Guatemala. He suppressed all attempts toward
independence thus preserving the region’s allegiance to Spain. King
Ferdinand VII was restored to the Spanish throne after the French
were defeated in Spain in 1814. However, a revolt ensued around 1820 in Spain thereby restoring the
constitution of 1812. During this period local election campaigns followed in Central America and an intense
political rivalry emerged between the liberal and the conservative factions of the elite.
Guatemala was fortunate to have gained independence from Spain without much blood being spilt compared to
the wars that occurred to most countries of Latin America. On September 15, 1821, a council of distinguished
personages in Guatemala City proclaimed independence from Spain and they formed a government with Gabino
de Gainza, as the chief executive.
Honduran lawyer and scholar José Cecilio del Valle, promptly attempted to integrate Guatemala into the
Mexican Empire in January 1822. Opposition from the provinces soon turned into an ugly civil war, but it
ended as quickly as it began when Iturbide’s government in Mexico soon collapsed.
Guatemala Independence Day Traditions, Customs and Activities
In the days leading up to Independence Day, most of the country’s schools, buildings and buses are decorated
with nationalistic images. The students form assemblies as they sing the national anthem. Customarily the
Guatemalan army has a traditional military parade and air shows, usually for the review of the President. Many
Guatemalans take this time to visit traditional tourist areas to watch the ongoing celebrations.
