El sándwich Sandwich.

Lunes, 7 de julio de 2014

Hoy  mi palabra del día es facil. 
Today my word of the day is easy.

facil = easy

Today I thought I'd do a quick post on cognates. What is a cognate you ask ?

Taken from http://spanishcognates.org/ :

Many Spanish and English words have Latin or Greek roots and the same meaning; these words are called cognates. The Spanish language borrows many words from English and, vice versa, English borrows many words from Spanish. By knowing a few simple rules about cognates, students can quickly expand their vocabulary in Spanish or English.

Cognates are very easy or facil ways to add a lot of words to your foreign language vocabulary. Por ejemplo : For example :

El sándwich = sandwich.


El sándwich is a cognate, it's almost identical to the English word. Learning and using Spanish cognates is a great way to add a lot of words to your Spanish vocabulary.
 I'm going to be adding at least a cognate a week to mi-palabra-del-dia.com. If you would like to study cognates check out spanishcognates.org for a huge alphabetised free list of cognates found in Spanish.

On a side note I plan on adding a link section to the blog consisting of free spanish learning resources. As always ¡Gracias por leer y adios! Thanks for reading and goodbye !
