Recognizing Cognates Pt. I

Hola a todos!


Today we are going to start practising Spanish cognates.  If you learn some Spanish cognates, this will help you to improve your vocabulary.


First of all, let's remember what's a cognate in Grammar:


Cognates, in every language, are words that look alike or have a very similar meaning to your mother language (in our case, English)

Let's see an example:

ATENCIÓN- ATTENTION

SATISFACCIÓN- SATISFACTION

EXTERIOR- EXTERIOR

As you can see, these two words have a similar spelling and at the same time, they share a same meaning.
