All Spanish words are shown with syllable-by-syllable pronunciation. And the nouns are either italicized or in regular font to indicate a feminine or masculine noun. The adjectives show each possible ending to match gender and number.

Students can easily expand the number of things they can say and ask by incorporating cognate words into the Q&A, or by building picture sentences with this easy vocabulary.
