❌ Häufige Fehler

Using the wrong preposition

Fehler:Viajo a en Canadá.

Korrektur: Viajo a Canadá. (We usually say 'viajar a' (to travel to) and 'estar en' (to be in). You don't need 'en' after 'a'.)

⭐ Verwendungstipps

The Accent Mark is Key

Always write 'Canadá' with the accent mark over the final 'a'. This tells you to put the stress on that last syllable, making the pronunciation sound like 'kah-nah-DAH'.
