More About Gender
Why is it necessary to know the gender of a noun? When you begin learning
more about the grammar of the foreign language you choose to study, you will
find that knowing the gender of a noun will help you decide which form of the
adjective or definite article to use with it. It may not seem like such a big deal to
you, but native speakers will notice instantly if you use the wrong one.
It is generally agreed that the best way to learn genders is to memorize the
gender of every new noun you learn. That is why textbooks show the definite
article of every noun in a vocabulary list. If you get used to hearing "la cabeza", it
will be easy for you to remember that "la cabeza" is feminine.
In this type of exploratory course, you will be required to know how to determine
genders. This will be very easy, however, because the definite articles will be
listed with each noun, and, for the most part, all you have to know is which one is
masculine or feminine. Your test will have a little box next to each word. In the
box, you will write simply "M" or "F". For example:
la mano
F
Write genders for the following words:
el dedo
los ojos
la sala de clase
However, in your high school language class, you will be required to memorize
the gender of each noun without being given the definite article. This means that
you will have to make a conscious effort to remember the gender of each noun
you learn. It may seem unimportant to you now, but knowing the genders will
pay off later when you get into creating more and more complex sentences. Your
high school teacher may give you vocabulary quizzes where he will say the word
in English, and you will be expected to write the word in the foreign language—
spelled correctly—with the appropriate gender. For example, he says "mouth".
You write:
la boca F

The Moors and the Reconquest/
Los Reyes Católicos
When I first visited Spain in high school, I
didn’t know much about it, except that it
was predominantly Catholic, so I was
astonished to see so many architectural
examples of Arabic architecture in
Andalucía, the southern region of Spain.
Later on, I learned about the Moorish
conquest of Spain and how it had a
marked effect on Spanish culture and
history.
The Moors were Arabs from Morocco;
hence the name “Moor.” As you can see
on the map, Morocco is only a stone’s
throw across the Strait of Gibraltar from
the southern tip of Spain. In the year 711
A.D., the Moors invaded Spain, forcing the
weak and splintered Spanish armies to
retreat to the north almost to France.
The Moors controlled significant parts of
Spain from the year 711 A.D. until they
were finally defeated in 1492 A.D.—781
years! It wasn’t that the Spanish armies
just rolled over and played dead for all
those years, but at that time Spain was
divided into so many different kingdoms
and regions that nobody had very much
power, and they tended not to get along
with each other. There were many battles
during this time, and slowly, the Moors
were pushed farther and farther south until
the only territory they held was Granada
and the very southernmost portion of
Spain.
It wasn’t until Ferdinand of Aragón and
Isabella of Castilla were married that Spain
became a united nation, and the royal pair
were convinced that their mission from
God was to defeat the Moors once and for
all and claim Spain for the true religion:
Spanish
Catholicism. This dream came true in
1492 A.D., when the last Moor was sent
back to Africa, and Spain was free at last.
This was an amazing triumph—Spain had
been under Moorish control for the better
of 800 years—and Ferdinand and Isabella,
known as Los Reyes Católicos or the
Catholic King & Queen—were fiercely
proud of their accomplishment. They even
made arrangements to be buried in
Granada, the site of their triumph, rather
than in the royal crypt at El Escorial in
Madrid.
Of course, we Americans think of
Ferdinand and Isabella and 1492 for
another reason: the discovery of America.
And yes, their support of Columbus’ trip
brought them much wealth. But Ferdinand
and Isabella were much more proud of
their accomplishments in winning their
country for Catholicism.
They were soon to discover, however, that
it wasn’t quite as easy as all that to get rid
of the Muslim religion. For almost 800
years, the Moors and the Christians had
been mixing and marrying and producing
families. So how did you determine who
was a Moor and who wasn’t? Some mixed
families were Catholic; others were
Muslim; and still others went back and
forth depending on which religion was
most advantageous at the time.
This was very annoying to Ferdinand and
Isabella, so they developed a team of
devout Catholics who would seek out any
“infidel” Moors and either force them to
adopt Catholicism or torture them to death.
This was called the Spanish Inquisition.

People and Customs of Spain
Names: Spaniards have two family names, the family name of the father
followed by the maiden name of the mother, often joined by y. Example:
Pedro Ortega (y) Gómez. This is sometimes shortened to Pedro Ortega
by omitting the mother’s family name. When a woman marries, she keeps
her family name and takes on the family name of her husband, which is
preceded by de. Thus, Pedro’s wife, whose maiden name was Elena
López y Suárez, would be called Elena López de Ortega. Note: The
mother’s family names of both Pedro and Elena are omitted.
Saint’s Day (el día del santo). Most Spanish children have, as their given
name, the name of a saint. They generally celebrate their saint’s day
instead of, or in addition to, their birthday.
Customs: An informal social gathering for the purpose of meeting and
chatting with friends is called a tertulia. An afternoon nap or rest following
the midday meal is called a siesta. The government-controlled lottery is
called the lotería.
Religious Holidays:
La Navidad (Christmas) is the most important religious holiday in
Spain. Christmas trees are not commonly used. Instead, each home
has a nativity scene (nacimiento), clay figures representing the scene
of the birth of Christ. On Christmas Eve (Nochebuena), people attend
a Midnight Mass (misa del gallo). Children receive gifts on January 6,
the Day of the Three Wise Men (Día de los Reyes Magos). The Reyes
Magos play the same role in Spanish life as Santa Claus.
Carnaval is a celebration that occurs during the three days before Lent.
La Pascua Florida (Easter) is celebrated throughout Spain and
Spanish America. La Semana Santa (Holy Week) is observed the
week before, with solemn ceremonies. The Holy Week celebration in
Seville is world-famous.

Spanish
El Día de los Difuntos (All Souls’ Day) is observed solemnly. The
people visit the graves of dead relatives and friends on November 2.
National Holidays:
El Dos de Mayo (May 2) commemorates the uprising of the Spanish
people against French rule (1808). It is celebrated as the national
holiday.
El Día de la Raza (Columbus Day) is celebrated on October 12
throughout Spain and Spanish America.
Sports and Spectacles:
La Corrida de Toros (bullfight) is very popular in Spain. The toreros
(bullfighters) attempt to show their skill and bravery fighting against a
ferocious toro (bull), specially bred for strength and bravery.
Jai-alai, a game of Basque origin, is somewhat similar to handball. El
frontón is the three-walled court on which jai-alai is played. La cesta is
a curved basket strapped to the player’s wrist, in which the ball is
caught and thrown against the wall.
El fútbol (soccer) is very popular in Spain.
Regional Dances: In Andalusia, the bolero, fandango, and flamenco—
accompanied by a guitar—are very typical. In Aragón, the jota is popular,
and in Catalonia, the sardana is a typical dance.
Typical Foods: Arroz con pollo (chicken and rice), paella (chicken and
rice with seafood), and cocido (a stew common among farmers and
laborers) are a few foods commonly found in Spain.
Typical Beverages: Chocolate is a thick hot chocolate usually served at
breakfast. Horchata is a cold drink of crushed almonds, water, and sugar.
