Level 1:
Object - Objetar
This is probably a Level 2, as there is a dropped letter from the root of the word. Take the English word, drop the "c" and add an "-ar" to the end and add a small accent difference and you've go the Spanish version. This may be more difficult to see than nouns, since verbs can have several different endings, based on noun subject agreement.
As you can see in the spelling, the "c" in the English version of the word is not present in the Spanish spelling, "Objetar." Also note, the "j" is spoken as an English "h".
Pronounced: "ob-HAY-tar"
Symbol (Noun)
Level 1:
Symbol - Símbolo
Easy to see, easy to hear, this is a stereotypical Level 1... Take the English word and add an "-o" to the end and add a small accent difference and you've go the Spanish version.
As you can see in the spelling, the "y" in the English version of the word is replaced by an "í" in the Spanish spelling, "Símbolo." This "í" has a sound almost like a long "E", making the pronunciation much like "SEEM-bo-lo".
Pronounced: "SEEM-bo-lo"
