Key learning points

1. The sound-symbol correspondence [ce] can be contrasted for practice with the key sound [ci].
2. Numbers 1-12 go before nouns to indicate how many there are. Numbers do not change their spelling.
3. Adding -s to nouns ending in -o, -a or -e makes them plural.
4. '¿Tienes?' means 'Do you have?' There is no word for 'do' in intonation questions.
