Most adult English speakers already know these words. It is amusing to note how many words you already know of another language. I teach English, so for the benefit of children and people whose first language is not English, such as Chinese speakers, I have added some handy translations.
casa - house
macho - strong man, strong not just physically but verbally
poncho - cape without arms
sombrero - hat with a big brim worn in hot countries such as Mexico and Spain
villa - large house, often with grounds, elegant and grand
Rarer but well known words
albino
armada
armadillo
mosquito
