Adding a New Idea

Use 'además' to add another piece of information to what you've already said. It's like a signal to your listener that says, 'Here comes another point!'

The Power of 'Además de'

When you see 'además de', it means 'in addition to' or 'besides'. It's followed by the thing you're adding on to. For example: 'Además de español, hablo inglés' (Besides Spanish, I speak English).

Mixing up 'además' and 'más'

Mistake: “Me gusta el helado y quiero además.”

Correction: Me gusta el helado y, además, quiero una galleta. (I like ice cream and, in addition, I want a cookie.) OR 'Quiero más helado.' (I want more ice cream.)
