Spanish Words You Will Recognize



 Of course you should be learning grammar and whole sentences, not just vocabulary. But anything is better than nothing, and a few rods might get you in the mood for doing more. So, let's go.

Duolingo teaches you Brazilian Spanish.

Translate google gives you the option of Spanish used in Spain and Europe, and Brazilian South American Spanish.

Easy Spanish Words - Months

The names of the months in Spanish are similar to the English words. Translating from Spanish to English is easy. English into Spanish is more difficult, because mostly just one letter is changed. 

The Spanish and Italian languages don't use capitals for the months, which makes typing quicker. 

Spanish - English

abril - April

amigo - friend

bancos - banks

cartas - letters

el - the

el (with an accent on the e) - he

frio - cold

io - I (drop the letter o and you get the English word I)

julio - July

libros - books

Los Angeles - the angels (los is the plural)

mayo - May

mi madre - my mother

mis amigos - my friends (the word my in Spanish is plural here, agreeing with the noun)

Muchas - many

musico - music

necesito - I need

Nueva York - New York

quiero - I want

Quiero aprender español - I want to learn Spanish

si -yes

sopas - soups (add s for the plural in both English and Spanish)
