❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between “nombre” and “apellido”?
Nombre is your first name (given name), and apellido is your last name (surname/family name). In Spanish-speaking countries, people traditionally have two apellidos — their father’s family name followed by their mother’s: for example, Carlos García López, where García is the paterno (father’s) and López is the materno (mother’s).

How do I say my email address in Spanish?
The word for email is correo electrónico, often shortened to just correo in everyday speech. When spelling out an email address: “@” = arroba, “.” = punto. So “sarah@gmail.com” would be sarah arroba gmail punto com.

What’s the best way to practice giving personal information in Spanish?
The best practice is a real conversation where someone asks you these questions and you answer on the spot — just like at a real office or appointment. A native tutor on LingoPie or on Italki can role-play a registration or interview scenario with you, which is far more effective than reading a list.
