School Subjects in Spanish

This free audio lesson is on school subjects in Spanish. Discover how to pronounce all of your school subjects in Spanish and wow your classmates!

Schools in Latin American countries tend to study almost exactly the kinds of school subjects that you are already familiar with. These subjects tend to have names that are very similar to English words, which makes them easy to recall--but don’t get tricked up with all the accents that are added.

If you want to find out what someone’s favorite school subject is, you ask, ¿Cuál es tu curso favorito? "What is your favorite subject?" The respondent would then say, Mi curso favorite es ______ "My favorite subject is..." Pretty straightforward isn’t it? See how easy it is to start using meaningful language structures in Spanish.
