1 INSTRUCTOR: Volcano Spanish. Lesson 1 INSTRUCTOR: In this Spanish course, I will show you how to quickly and easily expand your Spanish vocabulary. You may find this hard to believe, but you already know literally thousands of Spanish words. When you finish with this Spanish course, you will have the tools in order to build an enormous Spanish vocabulary just by following a few simple rules and applying them to your knowledge of the English vocabulary. There are certain words that exist in both Spanish and English that are spelled the same way or almost the same way, and that have the same meaning or very similar meanings. These words are called cognates. The Spanish language evolved from Latin over the last two thousand years. Although the English language is not as closely related to Latin as Spanish, the English language still borrows thousands of words from Latin. Many of these words are the same words that Spanish uses. Spanish and English have also borrowed many words from Greek. As a result, Spanish and English have thousands of cognates in common. This is another reason why you can quickly build a huge Spanish vocabulary based on the English words that you already know. But be aware that there are certain words that have a common origin in Latin but have very different meanings in Spanish and English. These words are called false cognates. You may have also heard the terms false friends or "amigos falsos." But you should be happy to know that the overwhelming majority of these words, which are spelled the same or almost the same, have similar meanings in the two languages. While learning these Spanish cognates, or Spanish words that are similar to English words, be aware that many of these words may also have a slightly different spelling from English and the pronunciation is almost always a little different. All you have to do is make some slight changes in the spelling of many English words and they become Spanish words. In fact, there are many Spanish words which are spelled exactly the same way as their English counterparts. 1
2 In this lesson, you will learn about 7 groups or 7 categories of these Spanish cognates. Let s begin with the group of Spanish cognates that end in the letters O- R. These Spanish words, which end in the letters O-R, are stressed on the last syllable. Normally, these words are spelled the same way in both Spanish and English. Later in this lesson, I will have lots of interactive exercises for you to do. But for right now, I want you to repeat the following Spanish words after the Spanish speaker. Keep in mind that the Spanish word el means the. And the Spanish word un means a or an. Now repeat after the Spanish speaker. SPANISH SPEAKER: el actor el autor (author) el coautor (co-author) el color el director el doctor el humor el motor el error el profesor el tractor el doctor el inspector el instructor el opresor el editor un favor un conductor un inventor interior exterior superior ardor (Group 1- Spanish words that end in the letters O-R) 2
3 candor censor fervor furor honor horror INSTRUCTOR: The next group of Spanish words, which are similar to English words that you already know, end in the letters A-L. In most cases, you will find that the spelling of the words are identical in the two languages. It is very important that you repeat after the Spanish speaker if you want to develop proper pronunciation and an authentic Latin American Spanish accent. Now repeat the following Spanish words: SPANISH SPEAKER: (Group 2- Spanish words that end in the letters A-L) abdominal accidental animal anual arsenal artificial brutal canal capital carnal catedral (cathedral) central cereal ceremonial colonial colosal (colossal) comercial condicional confidencial (confidential) constitucional (constitutional) continental convencional (conventional) 3

5 infernal informal inicial (initial) instrumental intelectual intencional (intentional) internacional (international) intestinal irracional (irrational) jovial judicial legal liberal literal local material matrimonial maternal medicinal mental metal monumental moral mortal municipal mural musical nacional (national) natural naval neutral normal ocasional oficial oral oriental original ornamental parcial (partial) pastoral 5
6 paternal pedal pedestal personal plural portal postal potencial (potential) principal profesional provincial puntual (punctual) racial racional (rational) regional residencial (residential) rival rural sensacional (sensational) sensual sentimental social superficial terminal total tradicional (traditional) trivial tropical universal usual vertical visual vital vocal INSTRUCTOR: The next group of Spanish words, which are similar to English words that you already know, end in the letters B-L-E. Spanish words that end in the letters B-L-E are stressed on the next to last syllable. You will usually find that the words are identical in the two languages. Repeat the following Spanish words after the Spanish speaker: 6
7 SPANISH SPEAKER: abominable aceptable adaptable admirable adorable afable cable comparable curable deplorable detestable durable explicable favorable flexible formidable ilimitable imaginable impenetrable impregnable improbable inalterable incomparable incurable inefable inestimable inevitable inexplicable inflamable inimitable insaciable inseparable interminable intolerable irreparable irreprochable (Group 3 - Spanish words that end in the letters B-L-E) 7
8 irrevocable irritable lamentable miserable navegable noble notable presentable probable respetable responsable sociable tolerable variable venerable vulnerable accesible admisible compatible dirigible horrible imperceptible imposible incompatible infalible invisible irresistible plausible posible susceptible tangible terrible visible INSTRUCTOR: The fourth group of Spanish words, which are similar to English words that you already know, end in the letters I-C. In order to change Spanish words that end in I-C to English words, all you have to do is add the letter O. Repeat the following Spanish words after the Spanish speaker: 8
9 (Group 4 - Spanish words that end in the letters I-C which are formed by adding the letter O to the end of English words) SPANISH SPEAKER: académico acrobático acuático aeronáutico agnóstico alegórico anémico antiséptico aristocrático aromático arsénico atlántico atómico automático auténtico (authentic) autocrático báltico británico burocrático cáustico científico (scientific) cosmético cromático democrático diabético diagnóstico dinámico diplomático dramático drástico económico elástico eléctrico enciclopédico enigmático erótico 9

By simply adding the letter e to many English words that end in the letters E-N-T you can instantly add new words to your Spanish vocabulary. Repeat the following Spanish words: (Group 5 Spanish words that are formed by adding the letter e to English words that end in the letters E-N-T) SPANISH SPEAKER: accidente adolescente agente astringente cliente competente contingente decadente decente diferente eficiente elocuente (eloquent) 11

14 el linimento el fragmento el sacramento el sentimiento (sentiment) el suplemento el testamento el temperamento INSTRUCTOR: Now let s do an exercise. I will say a phrase in English and then you will translate the phrase by saying it in Spanish. The Spanish speaker will then say the correct response in Spanish. Be sure to say the correct answer before the Spanish speaker and then make sure that you repeat the correct answer after the Spanish speaker in order to make sure that you develop an authentic Latin American Spanish accent. I will assume that you already know the following: The Spanish word es means is. Although, there are actually two ways to say is in Spanish, in this lesson we will use the Spanish word es. And in order to say is not we will use the Spanish phrase no es. As a reminder, the Spanish word un means a or an. INSTRUCTOR: Cómo se dice? How do you say?: The cable is important. SPANISH SPEAKER: El cable es importante. INSTRUCTOR: The phrase Cómo se dice? means how do you say? or how does one say? INSTRUCTOR: Cómo se dice?: The cable is not important. SPANISH SPEAKER: El cable no es importante. INSTRUCTOR: Make sure that you say the correct answer before the Spanish speaker says it. And then repeat the correct answer after the Spanish speaker in order to make sure that you develop an authentic Latin American Spanish accent. INSTRUCTOR: Cómo se dice?: The animal is important.

For example, Es sociable el presidente? means is the president sociable? But in normal, everyday conversational Spanish, you are more likely to hear Spanish speakers use the same word order as a sentence and then 16
17 simply add a rising intonation at the end of the sentence in order to ask a question. For example, El presidente es sociable? English speakers commonly ask questions the same way in English. For example, I can ask is the president sociable? Or I can use the same word order as a sentence and add a rising intonation at the end of the sentence in order to form a question. For example, I can ask the president is sociable? INSTRUCTOR: Let s do another exercise. I will say a question in English and then you will translate it by asking the same question in Spanish.

And then repeat the question after the Spanish speaker in order to make sure that you develop proper pronunciation and an authentic Latin American Spanish accent. INSTRUCTOR: Cómo se pregunta?
