Teaching Tip
Capitalization Rules In Other Languages
The rules dictating when to use a capital or upper case letter, vary greatly from language to language. Mention that while English capitalizes only proper nouns, German capitalizes all nouns. While English capitalizes the days of the week and months, French and Spanish don’t. And while English always capitalizes the first-person-singular pronoun I, German, Russian, and Italian capitalize the formal second-person pronoun. Languages that are not based on the alphabet, such as Japanese, Chinese or Korean, don’t have any capitalization rules at all, even in their alphabetic transcription. Mention the one capitalization rule that seems to cross many language barriers: The first word in a sentence is capitalized in all languages that are based on an alphabet.
