Mammoth Memory

Sister – hermana

PRONUNCIATION

Pronounced ehr-mah-nah (remember the "h" is silent in Spanish)

To remember that sister is pronounced ehr-mah-nah (hermana) in Spanish, use the following mnemonic:

She looked very different to her sister and her manner (hermana) was totally different too.

She looked very different to her sister, and her manner was totally different, too.

It's so obvious that hermana is feminine (la hermana) that we decided not to include a "lady" image for this one.
