If you’d like to say “magazine” in Spanish, you would simply say “la revista.” Of note, this refers specifically to a print publication. If you’re talking about a TV or radio publication, you would say “el magacín” or “el magazín.”

Although Spanish can seem complicated at the start, remember that you don’t have to tackle all the options at once. Even with a word like “magazine,” learning how to pronounce “la revista” is going to work pretty well in most circumstances. As you progress on your learning journey, you can slowly incorporate other words in specific situations.

Rosetta Stone’s Dynamic Immersion® methodology teaches you to speak the language, not just memorize the words. What makes it so effective is that we prepare you to use your new language in your everyday life. So it’s not just about the features, but what you’re able to do because of them. That way, you’ll be ready to handle any situation with ease and confidence.

Learn Spanish Words and Phrases

People decide to learn Spanish for a variety of reasons. Many hear the language in their everyday routines. There’s no question, Spanish does pop up in popular music, movies, and TV shows frequently. Other people choose to learn Spanish due to plans to work, vacation, or volunteer in any of the 20 countries around the world where Spanish is the official language. Regardless of your reason, you can get off to a great start by first learning how to pronounce some very basic Spanish words. It is a critical step to understand and be understood by any of the 437 million people around the world who speak Spanish.

Often, new learners get sidetracked trying to memorize lengthy lists of Spanish vocabulary words and phrases. This exhausting effort can lead to the undesired outcome of having little ability to participate in everyday Spanish conversation. That’s why it’s strongly advised that new Spanish language learners focus on understanding and pronouncing basic words and phrases. This practical approach to learning Spanish will help you become a confident and comfortable Spanish speaker.

We should note that Spanish does have a few pronunciation distinctions that can make it a challenge for new learners. As one example, the letter r is pronounced differently and takes some practice for most new learners. This distinct sound is formed by tapping the tip of the tongue on the roof of the mouth, about a third of the way back in the mouth. Some Spanish language experts suggest new learners practice making the “tt” sound, as it sounds in the English word butter.

Developing the skills to accurately pronounce Spanish requires immediate feedback on your pronunciation efforts. Rosetta Stone helps you get the pronunciation right in a snap with our TruAccent™ speech-recognition engine. Our patented technology compares your voice to native and non-native speakers in real-time—so you get immediate feedback for the most accurate pronunciation. It’s also adjustable, which allows you to tweak your accent as needed. TruAccent is a powerful tool for helping you learn and speak the Spanish language.

After you have developed the ability to correctly pronounce basic Spanish words and short phrases, you can move onto learning the longer phrases that make up so much of everyday conversation.

You’ll first focus on learning basic words and phrases, then you’ll move onto learning longer phrases, and then towards learning to understand and speak Spanish with confidence.
