El Balon

Real World Example

The Spanish phrase "el balón" means "the ball" in English. To help you remember this, think of the famous French soccer player Zinedine Zidane, who was known for his incredible ball control. Imagine Zidane saying, "El balón is my best friend on the field!" The word "balón" sounds a bit like "ball on," as if you're putting the ball on display, just like Zidane did with his skills. Picture him dribbling down the field, showcasing the ball—"el balón"—for all to see. ⚽️
