In English, if you really like something you say: I love it! In Spanish, you say: ¡Me encanta!

Let's see these examples in Spanish. Read the following sentences and listen to the correct pronunciation.

Exclamation marks

Did you notice that in Spanish, we use two exclamation marks? One is at the beginning of the sentence and the other one is at the end. The exclamation mark at the end is exactly like the one we use in English. The exclamation mark at the beginning is upside down.

In Spanish you can say:
