Choose the correct gender in Spanish: el & la - ALL you need to know about articles in Spanish

Spanish nouns have gender. Spanish nouns are masculine or feminine. This means you either have to put "el" or "la" before the noun. In Spanish, these articles are called DEFINITE ARTICLES. Definite articles in Spanish take two singular forms, "el" & "la", and two plural forms, "los" & "las". A horse is “el caballo”. A cow is “la vaca” or “una vaca”. But how do you know what the correct article is when it comes to every single noun? What does it mean to be a definite article? When do we use them, and how? In this video, most definitively, have all your questions about definite articles answered. At first sight it seems that all articles that end with "a" are feminine, and all articles that end with "o" are masculine. But weather, climate -- "clima" -- ends with "a" and yet it is not feminine, it takes actually a masculine article, "el clima". Just like "clima" there are many other nouns that do not follow golden rules. How do you know which ones follow rules and which ones are rebellious? In this video I will show you how to give the proper gender to a noun by using some endings as a guide, as clues. I will give you a list of rules that can't be broken, and rules that will likely be broken in the proper way. I will give you some tricks to make all this endeavour easy to remember. Watch this video, and use the table I made for you to recognize the gender of a noun.
I hope you are happy that you are learning a second language. You should be proud of yourself, and congratulate yourself, and give yourself a big hug.
Your donations allow me to keep making videos, to eat, to buy coffee, to water my plants, and live, and do more many more Spanish lessons. Thank you for supporting my videos. It makes me so happy that I can add some Spanish to your Spanish!

I wish Anna put a subtitle whenever she's explaining things in Spanish. I don't know if I'm the only one, but I feel like it would be way easier for me to have something to read when she's sort of "rapping" phrases or sentences in Spanish, and to make it even more clear. I hope Anna read this♥️

You can used the setting to slow down what she is saying. Most of the time she immediately translates what she says into English. I like that. It helps me learn. Unfortunately I have focused on reading Spanish and my audio skills are far weaker. I wish I had flipped it because I am more interested in conversations than reading Spanish. When there is closed captioning I turn my head and try to understand with my ears instead. The great thing here is you can rewind and replay over and over and more slowly.

I Thank you for all your videos! Also, I appreciate your trying so hard to explain that rules are not always constant. As an English speaker, I find that the English (American) get frustrated because of the lack of what is perceived as a needed structure. LOL . But If we look at the American Language, its got much more “senseless” ways of speaking that we don’t really question. Example why do we say LEAF and Deaf differently? We, just do, accept it and move on. I can only imaging the difficulty of ANYONE learning English as a second language! By the way, I want to commend you on your English and the way you can relate each topic and phrase that you help us to understand! You are an AMAZING teacher! I will continue to donate to your website and keep you going! Thanks Again!

One thing that I wish teachers would focus on more is the difference between major language groups. Like between romance and north Germanic languages. Like for instance how the Russian grammar is more like English than spanish is because of the northern influence. Other things like pronunciation simply come with time and practice. It's also easier to learn things like tense, plurality and gender as you get a larger vocabulary and have more examples.
