* Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Abstract
This paper generally describes the different parts of the language, Spanish from five perspectives. Geographical and human factors are macroscopic and can decide an overall feature of a culture, which can help people have a preliminary understanding of Spanish. The dialect of Spanish is a result of choice of history and survival of the fittest in the long run. It is also a kind of intuitive composition of a language. The identity of a language reflects the origin of it. Some languages that have similar identities to Spanish can also be good examples to help to explore the rules of Spanish language system. Here Portuguese is chosen to be compared with Spanish from the aspects of morphology and phonology. The above five aspects are the basic directions for people who are not familiar with Spanish to realize it. The purpose of the paper is to provide a reference for the linguistic beginners and give them an effective comprehension of Spanish through systematic integration and elaboration.
