Did you know?
- In many Spanish-speaking regions, the term alfabetización is strongly linked to social activism and community empowerment movements rather than just classroom schooling.
- While alfabetizado refers to literacy, Spanish speakers often use the term bilingüe to describe biliteracy, as the two concepts are rarely distinguished in common conversation.
- Because alfabetizado is a participle, it must change its ending to alfabetizada if the person being described is female.

- Mi hijo ya está alfabetizado en dos idiomas.My son is already biliterate.
