 Sooo; you can count and spell, you can pronounce the vowels, you can match the gender and the pluralSSS and you know some “survival words”.

 Good for you…

Aaand; if you cannot count and spell, you cannot pronounce the vowels, you cannot match the gender and the pluralSSS and you do not know some “survival words”.

 Bad for you…

 Maybe you (yes, YOU) should start to learn “espa” one of these days…  ¿What are you waiting for?
