Spanish indefinite articles refer to one individual out of a general group and they often correspond to English a / an (singular form), some / a few (plural form). Like definite articles, they give information about the gender (femenine, masculine) and the number (singular, plural) of the noun and they have four forms:
Masculine | Femenine | |
---|---|---|
Singular | un | una |
Plural | unos | unas |
Examples:
Like English, the Spanish indefinite article is used in the following cases:
Take online language lessons with a professional teacher
Un cuadro es una obra de arte. (A painting is a work of art.)
Gracias, eres un sol. (Thanks, you are a sweetie.)
Quiero una galleta. (I want a biscuit.)
Necesito unos calabacines. (I need some courgettes.)
The indefinite article has to be omitted in the following cases:
¿Pones zanahorias en la tarta? (Do you put any carrot in the cake?)
If the noun is modified by an adjective, the indefinite article cannot be omitted.
Example:
Javier es un profesor muy competente. (Javier is a very competent professor.)
The indefinite article is omitted after verbs such as:
when the noun refers to a person or thing one commonly have.

Hello everyone!
My name is Wanda, I'm 27 and I'm French.
I have a Master's Degree in Teaching French as a Foreign Language from the University of Sorbonne Nouvelle, Paris, as well as 3 years of teaching experience (face-to-face, remote courses, or group classes).
I can teach you everything from grammar to culture, but I am particularly able to help you get a better pronunciation! Indeed, I also have a Master's Degree in Linguistics, for which I wrote a thesis about the pronunciation of people learning French as a foreign language =)
Regarding pronunciation, I'll help you without any judgment and only if you express the need to improve!
I studied one year in Japan (Osaka) where I gave French classes at the University of Kansai. During this time, I met a lot of people from various background and I became very open-minded and comfortable with different cultures.
What I like the most in teaching French is getting to meet and know people from different cultures =)
So, I'll be waiting for you! =)
See you soon,
Wanda

Hi. I´m Víctor, your Spanish teacher. Even though I come from Alicante (Spain), I spent the last ten years in Poland. I know not only from my own experience how dificult it is to learn a new langauge. I know how it feels when you don´t speak perfectly and you have to break your fear to actually communicate with a foreigner. I will help you to crush this fear. With me, you can be sure that you will talk without fear.
I don´t have a fixed methodology. I believe in flexibility and adjusting the method to the needs, expectations and goals of each student. You can be sure that with all the materials I have gathered, I will use the most adequate resources to your needs.
For me the most important aspect of learning the language is the communication. I put emphasis on speaking, but I don´t forget about other skills. If you want to prepare yourself for DELE exam, you can count on me. I have experience in preparation (with success) for all levels of DELE.

I have been teaching for a long time both for preparing official exams or for improving communication and writing skills.
I am also a translator, so I use this skill to understand better my students' needs.
I always try to adapt and design a personalised method to reach theirs aims. I normally use project-based activities that I design myself to make learners know the language at different levels and that they can be able to communicate easily.

My name is Anna and I graduated in 2016 from Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona with a BA in English and Spanish Studies and a Master in Teaching Spanish as a Second Language in Universidad de Barcelona and Universidad Pompeu Fabra.
I worked as Spanish teacher in different languges schools and I also made collaboration as an Online Spanish teacher with Groningen University. In all my experiences as a teacher I have always tried to make students enjoy classes as much as possible so that their learning is positive.
In my classes I try to teach in a didactic way based on a more communicative approach although I always adapt to the needs of the students.
If you want to learn Spanish do not hesitate to sign up and we will have a good time;)

Esther is a very dedicated teacher who is concrete and clear and does not hesitate to correct mistakes, which happens quite often on my part. She is friendly and also wants to move forward, while still being aware of the difficulties associated with learning a new language. I am very satisfied with her. I would definitely recommend her.

Hello! My name is Ainhoa, I am Spanish and I live in Bilbao, a city in the north of Spain. I love languages and learning about new cultures, that is why I decided to teach Spanish. I find it very gratifying to see the students improve.
I am patient and cheerful, and I strive to create a comfortable environment where students are not afraid to make mistakes. I am positive and I firmly believe that anyone with effort, perseverance and correct accompaniment can improve.
I am an online Spanish teacher certified by ELE International and I have been teaching Spanish since 2019. In 2020 I formalized my business and became freelance.
In these years, I have studied Spanish grammar thoroughly and I have tried many teaching methods that were taught to me in my training, which has led me to create my own method with what I have seen has given better results. I use spaced repetition, create projects, do real-life rollplays, and have the student come to the correct conclusion on their own using questions. For all this, we will use manuals that will guide your learning, the campus diffusion books.
I have helped students of all levels to improve Spanish until they can speak correctly. Each student learns differently and has their own challenges, so I have learned which resources work best for each person.
In my classes you will find a smily face and a relaxed atmosphere, in which you will feel free to ask questions as much as necessary and to express yourself without fear of mistakes.
See you soon!

Hey,
My name is Ina, I'm a Norwegian who grew up abroad and has lived in the United Kingdom for the last 5 years.

Looking forward to working with you,
