Translating Spanish

Problem
How to learn Spanish easily>

Answer
Use the bilingual film guide such as K r i s w o r l d on a Singapore Airlines flight. (Spaces inserted to defeat auto correct spell checker.)

Story
I was mesmerised by a film called El E s p e j o de l o s O t r o s.

Here are my translations:


Spanish-English
amor - love
catedral - cathedral
de - of
el / El -The
en - in
espejo - mirror (as in similar root words, spectre, spectacles, expect, aspect, spy, espy_
Historias - stories
los - the (plural, masculin or both male and female)
muerte - death
nacen - born or originating from
otros - others
restaurante - restaurant
un / una - a or an (masculine or feminine)
y - and

English - Spanish
and - y
born / originating - n a c e n
cathedral - c a t e d r a l (drop the h in Spanish)
in - en
love - amor
mirror - e s p e j o
of - de
others - otros
restaurante -restaurant
Stories - h i s t o r i a s (like the English word history - what is their history, their story?)
the - el / los (plural) as in Los Angeles meaning the angels

(You will find more commends on the film if you go back to my previous post, which you can find by searching for Espejo, or mirror.)
