Notes:
1) The @ symbol is called "arroba" in Spanish. The dot (or period) in the email address is called "punto."
2) Sometimes in Spanish "cuál" is used where in English we would use "what." This is used with the personal information questions like those that you are practicing with in this lesson. "Qué" would be used to ask for a definition (like explaining what an address is), while "cuál" is asking for you to provide the information.
Dictation
Dictations are great for practicing listening and spelling in Spanish. Click on "Listen" to hear the dictation of a sentence. The sentence will be read once quickly and then repeated slowly with pauses to write the words. Write the sentence in the textbox. Click on "Check" to check your answer. Don't forget to use correct capitalization, accents and punctuation, or the computer will mark it as incorrect.
