What Spanish do we already know?
What are cognates?
Cognates are words in two languages that look and sound similar because they come from the same root. In Spanish and English, these words often have the same meaning, like "animal" in English and "animal" in Spanish. They help us learn new languages faster because we already know what they mean.
| Spanish nouns | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| el teléfono | la familia | el problema | la música |
| el chocolate | la televisión | el animal | la foto |
| el hotel | la medicina | el actor | la fruta |
