Did you know?

  • Unlike English, where 'English' is always capitalized, the word inglés in clase de inglés is written with a lowercase letter in Spanish because adjectives of nationality are not capitalized.
  • The word clase shares its ancient roots with the Latin word classis, which originally referred to a group of people or a fleet of ships rather than a room of students.
  • While clase de inglés refers to the lesson itself, the physical room where the class takes place is usually called el aula.
