Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use 'metodología' to mean 'my way of doing things'?

Yes, but it sounds very formal. If you're talking about how you make coffee, use 'manera' or 'forma'. If you're talking about how you organize your professional tasks, 'metodología' is perfect.

How do I pronounce the 'g' in metodología?

The 'g' sounds like a breathy English 'h' (as in 'house'). Think: meh-toh-doh-loh-HEE-ah.

Is it the same as the English word 'methodology'?

Almost exactly! They are 'cognates,' meaning they share the same root and meaning, making it an easy word for English speakers to remember.
