The English alphabet contains letters:26 letters
A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z
The Norwegian contains 3 more:
the alphabet is the same as the english to the z, but after z you add the letters Æ,Ø,Å.
so the Norwegian alphabet will look like this: A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z,Æ,Ø,Å

I am going to start the lessons with to be:
<em>In English you conjugate the person as 1st person singular etc, in the way you see below. On the right you see the translation of it.
</em>
I Yo
You Tú
He El
She Ella
It Es
We Nosotros
You Vosotros <em>Here we are talking about you in the plural form.
</em>
They Ellos/Ellas <em>Ellos is used when refering to a group of males or a mixed group.
Ellas is used when reffering to a group of females. </em>
<em>You have to know this when you are learning how to conjugate the verb "TO BE"
I am going to write down how you conjugate it in English at the left, and then Spanish under.</em>
English:
[ I AM ] <em>I am Paola</em> <em>
</em>[ YOU ARE ] <em>You are Paola</em> <em>
</em>
[ HE IS] <em>He is Pablo</em>
[ SHE IS] <em>She is Paola</em>
[ IT IS] <em>It is Paola</em>
[ WE ARE] <em>We are Paola and Pablo</em> <em>
</em>[ YOU ARE] <em>You are Paola and Pablo</em>
[ THEY ARE] <em>They are Paola and Pablo
</em>
Spanish:
<em>In spanish you don't have to write yo, tu, ++ in front of your sentence like you have to in English. So if you want to say "I am Paola", you just say " soy Paola. Because you know that is just (yo) that's using "soy". But if you really want to, or think it's easier you can have the person in front. " Yo soy Paola".</em>
[ TÚ ERES] ( Tú ) eres Paola)
[ EL ES] ( El ) es Pablo)
[ ELLA ES] ( Ella) es Paola)
[ ES] ( Es) Paola)
[NOSOTROS SOMOS] ( Nosotros) somos Paola y Pablo <em>PLURAL
</em>[VOSOTROS SOIS] ( Vosotros) sois Paola y Pablo <em> PLURAL
</em>[ELLOS/ELLAS SON] ( Ellos) son Paola y Pablo <em>PLURAL and a group of mixed genders then we use Ellos instead of Ellas.
</em>
Summary:
You don't have to have Yo, tu etc, in front of your sentences. It's enough to write for example : " soy Paola" Since it's SOY, you know that it's I AM.
<em>At the last sentence " Ellos son Paola y Pablo" You have to use ELLOS instead of ELLAS because it's a group of mixed genders. If you want to say " They are Lisa and Paola", you are using "Ellas" because it's a group of females. When you are talking about a group of men you are using "Ellos".
</em>"Y" Is the same as "AND" in English. " Paola and Pablo", Paola y Pablo"
If you did'nt understand send me a letter, and I will try to explain to you
