chance – la oportunidad
(Pronounced oh-pohr-too-nee-dad)
To remember that chance is pronounced oh-pohr-too-nee-dad (oportunidad) in Spanish, use the following mnemonic:
There's a chance that this is the job opportunity I've been waiting for, but my dad (oportunidad) doesn't think so.
Oportunidad is feminine, so it's la oportunidad. Imagine a lady with a chance of winning.
