Spanish question regarding the personal "a"?

i read somewhere that when the direct object in a spanish sentence is a person, there should be an "a" before his/her name, like:

jorge llamo a maria (jorge calls maria).

does this also apply when the direct object is a pronoun? like:

a te llamo (i call you).

or is it just

te llamo (I call you)?

Language questions belong in the language section. Not in Travel.

i'ts te llamo OR te llamo a tí.

When it is a Direct Object pronoun, then, no...you don't add an a, but when you are stressing the YOU part, then you put the a there.

And then, which pronoun you use will sometimes depend on which country you are in...in Spain, it becomes an INDIRECT OBJECT PRONOUN, but in most of the rest of the world it is the Direct Object.

This is referred to as the loísmo/leísmo rule. Complicated to learn, but easy once you're immersed.

Hi!

"Jorje llamA a María" its ok, but you can't say "a te llamo" because "a" is a "conjunción" and it's to join words. Like: "Voy a comprar un perro" (I'm going to buy a dog), well, at least in affirmative sentences.

I wish the pedants would say where the language section is.
