The Invisible 'P'
Even though it is written with a 'p' at the start, most people don't pronounce it. It sounds like 'see-KOH-loh-go'.
The 'A' for People
When you are doing something to a psychologist (like calling or seeing one), you must put a little 'a' before them: 'Llamo a mi psicólogo'.
Don't forget the accent mark
Mistake: “psicologo”
Correction: psicólogo (the accent on the second 'o' shows you where to put the emphasis when speaking).
Merging 'a' and 'el'
Mistake: “Voy a el psicólogo.”
Correction: Voy al psicólogo. In Spanish, 'a' and 'el' always combine to make 'al'.
