Hola amigos
Today I am going to show you how to get an instant Spanish vocabulary of 1,016 words.
It makes Spanish suddenly seem familiar and much less foreign. Once you know how to make simple changes to English words you can get an instant Spanish vocabulary of thousands of words.
Here’s what I mean
Almost all English words that end with “TY” can be made into Spanish by changing “TY” to “DAD”.
University = UNIVERSIDAD
Eternity = ETERNIDAD
Nationality = NACIONALIDAD
There are 231 “TY/DAD” Spanish Cognates. Take a second and think of a few more.
Wasn’t hard was it?
The “TION/CION” Spanish Cognates.
Exactly the same concept.
Collection = COLECCION
Nation = NACION
Promotion = PROMOCION
There are 321 of these!
“ATE/AR” Spanish Cognates (211 Words)
Participate = PARTICIPAR
Inflate = INFLAR
“IC/ICO” Spanish Cognates (253)
Plastic = PLASTICO
Traffic = TRAFICO
OK, so let’s add them up…
231 ty/dad + 321 tion/cion + 211 ate/ar + 253 ic/ico = 1016!

By far, the most valuable Spanish lessons I have ever had! I am at lesson 16 of Synergy Spanish and I am actually ordering my food in Spanish. That is a HUGE accomplishment for me and I am very proud of it, and I owe it all to this course. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, and I mean that!
I was hoping I would be able to speak Spanish easily but you have not taught me anything I do not already know.
I guess I just need to use the language more often.
It is best to include all your senses or as many as you can when trying to learn any language.
great!!!!
I’m listening !!
