store – el almacén

(Pronounced ahl-mah-thehn)

To remember that store is pronounced ahl-mah-thehn (alacén) in European Spanish, use the following mnemonic:

The department store sells everything you need - almonds, maths books, envelopes (almacén), anything you can think of.

Almacén is masculine, so it's el almacén. Imagine an elephant shopping in a store.
