Respellings follow the course’s say-it key; the stressed syllable is in capitals. Print this lesson’s flashcards (PDF) — the words on the front, the English and respelling on the back.

La regla · The rule

Take one piece of news — the office is moving — and write it four times: to a friend, to a colleague, to a client, to a public notice. Same facts, four different languages.

Y también · And also

Nos mudamos. Cambiamos de oficina el tres de marzo. Tenemos el gusto de informarle de nuestra mudanza. La sede social se traslada a la calle Blanca, doce.

Ojo · Watch out

Same facts, four registers: nos mudamos (a friend) · cambiamos de oficina (a colleague) · tenemos el gusto de informarle (a client) · la sede social se traslada (a notice). mudarse is to move house; mover is to move a thing.

mudarse, presente — the table

yo me mudo · tú te mudas · él/ella/usted se muda · nosotros nos mudamos · ustedes se mudan · ellos/ellas se mudan

Do it now — on paper

  1. Say all 9 words aloud twice from the respelling, then once from the Spanish spelling alone — begin with nos mudamos.
  2. Copy every word with its accents on paper; then cover the English column and write each meaning back from the Spanish.
  3. Write out mudarse, presente in full from memory, every person, and check each form against the table above.

This free course is the reading half. The writing half — write-in lessons, daily practice pages with built-in review, self-checks and a full answer key — is the companion workbook series, The Spanish Ladder: one workbook per module, fifteen in all, released band by band with the Basic band (Modules 1–5) first.
