About this listen
We break down the differences between true cognates, near cognates, and false friends in English and Spanish. We share examples of words that look similar across both languages—some that mean the same thing and others that can easily trick learners into saying the wrong thing. By understanding these patterns and learning from common mistakes, you’ll discover how to build your Spanish vocabulary faster and communicate with more confidence.
Key Takeaways:
- True cognates are words that look almost identical in English and Spanish and share the same meaning, making them an easy way to expand your vocabulary.
- Near cognates follow predictable spelling patterns, which can help you guess many Spanish words even if you’ve never studied them before.
- False friends may look familiar but have completely different meanings, so recognizing them can help you avoid confusing or embarrassing misunderstandings.
