EASY ENGLISH VOCABULARY for Spanish & Portuguese Speakers
If you already speak Spanish, Portuguese, or another Latin language, you are in luck because English borrows a lot of words from Latin origins! Not to mention you already use the same alphabet as English, which makes it a whole lot easier! In this lesson, I’m going to talk about word friends, which are words that look very similar or identical to English words but are pronounced differently. For example, “idea” in Spanish is spelled the same as in English, but it is pronounced differently. The word “necesario” in Spanish is similar to its English word friend “necessary”, but notice there are a few letters that are different. Other word friends we will cover in this lesson includecalma/calm, decente/decent, honesto/honest, julio/July, necesario/necessary, oliva/olive, and more. In total, there will be 21 word pairs for you to learn, one for almost every letter of the alphabet. But you will have to watch the lesson to hear the difference in pronunciation! So be sure to watch and do the quiz afterwards, amigos.

Estou iniciando, mas já adorei os poucos videos que vi.
Muito bom as comparações das palavras entre o ingles e espanhol.
for me its easy because I speak Spanish. thanks of God teacher.
Thank you for the free lesson. However, it was very distracting to hear the teacher read the words in Spanish. She should make sure she knows how to pronounce them, after all, this is about pronunciation!
Muito obrigado pela aula Ronnie, foi espetacular! :D
