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.
After little words like para, sin and de, "me" and "you" take special forms: mí (with an accent) and ti (without one). Es para mí. Es para ti. Sin ti.
With con the two fuse into single words: conmigo (with me), contigo (with you). ¿Vienes conmigo? Yo también — me too.
mí (me) carries an accent to tell it from mi (my); ti never takes one. And con fuses: conmigo, contigo — never con mí, never con ti.
