Level 2:
Notice - Noticia
While the concept of gender in words is mostly absent in English, most English speaking people would expect a person named, "Maria" to be female and a person named, "Mario" to be male. My point, here, is that "-ia" is the feminine version of the "-o" ending and in Spanish, the concept of a "notice" is, evidently, feminine.
So, instead of Notice-o, you get Notic-ia or "Noticia." It is pretty much pronounced "Notice ee uh" or "No TEES ee uh"
