Notice if the main character of the MEMORY TRIGGER© picture is a male/female?

With all our lessons we teach you to remember the gender with the word, because this is very important in Spanish. In Spanish nouns are either masculine or feminine.

• Masculine nouns feature a male main character, and the voice recordings on these courses on their CD's is read by a male native Spanish speaker. Masculine words have the word 'el' before them (el means 'the').
• Feminine nouns feature a female main character and the voice recordings on these courses on their CD's is read by a female native Spanish speaker. Feminine words have the word 'la' before them (la also means 'the').

When trying to remember whether a word is masculine or feminine, the answer lies in the picture. Remember scientists tell us that the brain never forgets a picture. And when you have learned the picture, it is there to 'pop'up into your head, when you need it!
