In this video we start a series of videos about how to learn thousands of Spanish words instantly.

How?

Learn cognates:

They are words that are similar or identical in the way they are

written and their meaning in Spanish and English.

What?

Both languages share many cognates, because they use

Latin root words which they share. Also Greek.

How do you know that?

Well, the truth is, I used them to help me learn vocabulary in

English. So, it can help you learn words in Spanish.
