Questions & Answers about Yo como una hamburguesa en el restaurante.
Do I have to include Yo at the beginning of the sentence?
The word hamburguesa looks like English. Is the 'h' pronounced?
No, the 'h' is completely silent, just like in almost all Spanish words. You pronounce it starting directly from the 'a', as if it were spelled 'amburguesa'.
The English translation says 'at the restaurant', but doesn't en mean 'in'?
Why is it una hamburguesa and not un hamburguesa?
Because hamburguesa is a feminine noun in Spanish (notice it ends in 'a'). Therefore, it needs the feminine word for 'a', which is una.
