Pavement – la acera
(Pronounced ah-theh-rah)
To remember that pavement is pronounced ah-theh-rah (acera) in European Spanish, use the following mnemonic:
On the pavement was a therapist (acera) with her couch ready to talk to anyone.
Acera is feminine so it's la acera. Imagine a lady with her stiletto heels stuck in the cracks of a pavement.
