Do you have a pet at home? Today we're learning how to talk about pets in Spanish - the most popular pets that Spanish children love too!
Spain has lots of pet-loving families just like in Ireland. Knowing these pet words helps you chat with Spanish friends about your favourite animals.
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
- Name 8 popular pets in Spanish
- Sort pets by masculine (el) and feminine (la) words
- Describe your pet to a Spanish-speaking friend
Here are the Spanish names for 8 popular pets. Click each word to hear the pronunciation, then say it yourself!
Notice most pets use el (masculine), but one uses la (feminine). Which one do you think it is?
See the English pet name and try saying the Spanish before flipping! Great practice for remembering all 8 pets.
Drag each pet into the correct column: el (masculine) or la (feminine). Can you spot the pattern?
Look at each pet picture and click the correct Spanish name! Listen to the audio if you need help.
