Congratulations! You're almost done with this module.

The article below will help you review some key grammar points covered in the tasks, so you can feel confident before taking the Module Quiz.

Talking about Origin

To say where you are from, you should use: Soy + de + [country]. For example:

Soy de El Salvador.
Soy de Guatemala.

To know where someone is from, ask ¿De dónde eres?.

Talking About Nationality

To say your nationality, you should use: Soy + [nationality].

Soy salvadoreña.
Soy guatemalteco.

These are some of the nationalities you've learned so far:

Country	Masculine Form	Feminine Form
`El Salvador`	`salvadoreño`	`salvadoreña`
`Guatemala`	`guatemalteco`	`guatemalteca`
`Colombia`	`colombiano`	`colombiana`
`Argentina`	`argentino`	`argentina`
`Uruguay`	`uruguayo`	`uruguaya`
`Puerto Rico`	`puertorriqueño`	`puertorriqueña`
`Chile`	`chileno`	`chilena`
`Perú`	`peruano`	`peruana`

In Spanish, nationalities typically change with gender. If a nationality ends with -o, this last letter is usually replaced by an -a to create the feminine form.

However, nationalities that end with a consonant often add an -a to create the feminine form. For example, the masculine form of someone from España ("Spain") is español, while the feminine form is española.

Nationalities that end in -e or -í are usually the same for both genders. For example, the masculine form of someone from Estados Unidos ("United States") is estadounidense, while the feminine form is also estadounidense.

Talking About Profession

To say your profession, you should use: Soy + [profession]. For example:

Soy representante de recursos humanos.
Soy analista junior.

Use this question to ask someone about their profession: ¿A qué te dedicas?.

Talking About Age

To say your age in Spanish, you should use: Tengo + [number] + años. For example:

Tengo veintiún años.
Tengo treinta y cinco años.

You can use this question to ask someone's age: ¿Cuántos años tienes?.

Being Politely During Introductions

There are three important courtesy expressions in Spanish.

Mucho gusto means "Nice to meet you". It's a polite way of saying that you are glad to meet someone. This phrase is gender-neutral.

Encantada also means "Nice to meet you", but it's a more expressive way of saying that you are delighted to meet someone. It must agree with the gender of the speaker. Its feminine form is Encantada, while its masculine form is Encantado.

Igualmente means "Likewise". It's used to politely return what the other person expressed, without repeating it.
