Similarities between English and SpanishFrom here on, we will not introduce more new vocabularies, but rather talk about general things concerning the Spanish language and the Spanish speaking countries. Please be aware of the fact though that at the end of this lesson, you will be required to memorize all new vocabularies so far.Even though, the two languages English (Germanic language) and Spanish (Romanic language) are not in the same language family, there are plenty of similarities between the two.

The following table lists a few of those words:
Exercise Can you guess the meaning of the following Spanish words? Example: teléfono telephone
Capitalization in SpanishAs you might have already noticed, in Spanish, exactly like in English and many other languages, all words are generally not capitalized.

Those words are always capitalized.Exercise Try to figure out, which of the following words would be capitalized and which ones wouldn't after translating them into Spanish.
