I know simplification can be a problem if we don't understand what it is and everything it comes with it... but if we truly understand that simplification doesn't mean we are going to live in a perfect world and we still have to face trouble because of the exceptions... can be a great tool to work with and can be very beneficial for our students.This poster strives to be a colorful resource to remember our acronym: LONERS for masculine nouns in Spanish and also provides examples for each ending.
Matching colors are a great strategy for visual learners to remember things.
Try yourself out with this activity below to see if you internalize this concept:
Let's recap:
If a word ends in l,o,n,e,r,s it's almost always going to be a masculine word in Spanish.
Remember: in language there are no rules without exceptions ;)
If this works for you don't hesitate to use it, share it or print it out;)

ion endings are predominantly feminine. In the practice activities you are telling students that canción is a masculine word and emoción is a masculine word. I fired one of my Spanish teachers for using this web activity without vetting the resource first. I hope this practice doesn't cost anyone else their job.
