Many words are almost the same in English, Spanish and Italian. This makes it easy to translate back into English, but harder to remember the foreign words. In Wikipedia you can find lists of words. You can also look at Wikipedia in another language and note mentally or write or type a copy of words which are the same as English.
English - Spanish - Italian (reminders)
and - y - e (The Spanish is y, like the y sound in mañana)
cost - costo - AI found me this from Collins dictionary
"cost" is costo or coste in Spanish, and costo in Italian. Both languages use these terms to represent expense or price. Common related phrases include "¿Cuánto cuesta?" (Spanish) and "Quanto costa?" (Italian) for "How much does it cost?
One thing I kept muddling was which word ended in o and which in a in quanto costa. Then I remembered that they are different, different endings. oh no what a cost ah. quanto costa.
explore - explora
shop - |Spanish tienda (where you tender money to buy) - Italian negozio (where you negotiate or bargain)
market in English is mercado in Spanish, mercato in Italian.
Yes - si - yes in both Italian and Spanish. But having an accent on the i makes a difference, meaning YES! Without the accent, in Spanish si means if.
supermarket in English is supermercado in Spanish, supermercato in Italian
