Many of the sports listed on this page are NOT of Spanish origin, hence the tendency to maintain the original name in English. The pronunciation is usually an attempt to say the English word, but generally takes a "Spanish accent" - so if you try to maintain pure Spanish vowel sounds, it'll pretty much sound like Spanish folks say it.


Practice the following patterns with the vocabulary at the right.
 
"Miro el golf en la televisión."
(I watch golf on TV.)
 
"No miro el tenis en la televisión."
(I don't watch tennis on TV.)
 
"El futbol es deporte de equipos."
(Soccer is a team sport.)
 
"Se necesita pelota para el beisbol."
(A ball is needed for baseball.)
