Ja,ichmagdenSpanischunterricht.
Ja (affirmation)
Used to confirm or agree, similar to 'yes' in English.
ich (personal pronoun)
First‑person singular subject pronoun.
mögen → mag (present, 1st person)
The verb *mögen* means ‘to like’; in the present tense the 1st‑person singular form is *mag*.
den (accusative masculine article)
Because *Spanischunterricht* is a masculine noun and the verb *mögen* takes a direct object, the definite article appears in the accusative case: *den*.
Spanischunterricht (compound noun)
A masculine compound noun (der Spanischunterricht) meaning ‘Spanish class’. In the accusative it becomes *den Spanischunterricht*.
Word order

✕Common Mistakes
Ja, ich mag der Spanischunterricht.
The article must be accusative (den) because it is the direct object of *mag*.
Ja, ich mag dem Spanischunterricht.
Do not use the dative form *mag dem*; *mögen* always takes the accusative.
Ja, ich mag Spanischunterricht.
The noun needs an article in this sentence; omitting it sounds incomplete.

Cultural Tip
In German schools the subject is called *der Spanischunterricht*. While *mag* is perfectly fine in everyday speech, native speakers often prefer the construction *der Spanischunterricht gefällt mir* for a slightly more formal tone. Remember that the article changes to *den* because the noun is the direct object of *mögen*.
