Spanish words - easy, and difficult



Spanish  - the world's third most widely spoken language after English and Chinese. Handy for travellers in Europe and South America. Also one of the easiest languages. The accents, called diacritics, above the letters, tell you which syllable to emphasize.

amo - I like (the same as the Latin I learned in the first Latin lesson at school, amo, amas, amat, I love, you love, he, she ot it loves)
ayer - yesterday (ye in both words)

cafeteria - cafeteria

cocinabamos - ( coc - cook, B back then  os - us/we like nos like French nous meaning us)

diario - diary

en - in

famosa - famous

grande - large

inteligente - intelligent

mercado - market, where merchants sell merchandise. Both words have the letter m r e, d sounds like k and d sounds like t)

mesa - table (like the city of Mesa in Arizona, USA)

mi - my

no - no/not

persona - person

rapida - fast

restaurante - restaurant

tarde - afternoon (if you are tardy, slow and late, you don't get up and attend meetings until the afternoon)
