mi esposo (The Spanish word esposo sounds like the English word spouse. Note that o for man and a for a woman.)

mi hijo

mi nuera

su prometida (like the English word promised)

Me llamo

se llama

su nombre es

I picked out a series of sentences I wanted to say in Spanish and ran them through Google Translate (which is translate google in the search).

I laboriously copied each translated word. On returning to a set which I had not yet matched up, I found it interesting to test whether I could translate back from the Spanish to the English and vice versa. So I have decided to leave the untranslated version so that you can read down and go back and try doing this until you know every word or most words.
