station – la estación

To remember that station is pronounced ehs-tah-syohn (estación) in Latin American Spanish, use the following mnemonic:

A station was established in the sea, but trains couldn't make it far on (estación) water.

A station was established in the sea, but trains couldn't make it far on (estacíón) water

Estación is feminine, so it's la estación. Imagine a lady missing her train at the station.

Estacíón is feminine, so it's la estacíón. Imagine a lady missing her train at the station
