Learning Spanish Can Be Easy When You Where To Start
Everybody who is starting in the language looks for some easy Spanish to try and get to grips with it. Often they are amazed to realize that learning Spanish is a lot easier that they thought it was. Spanish and English share common roots with Latin in particular, and to a lesser extent, Greek as well. The implications are that many of the words simply require a different ending from English to become Spanish – and they will mean exactly the same thing too! Doesn't that sound like easy Spanish? It does and it is.
Take "plastic," for example. That word is "plastico" in Spanish. Well, you wanted easy Spanish, and it surely can't get any easier than this. When English-speaking people think about learning Spanish, they usually see it as one big problem. "No hay problema", and if you can't work out what that Spanish phrase means, then you do have one. The best way to learn Spanish quickly is to learn all the easy words first. The grammar is slightly different, but it isn't really that big of a deal. Take for instance the phrase mentioned above: "no hay problema." It literally means, "not there is problem." It won't take long for anyone to adjust to this way of thinking and make that, "there's no problem," its English equivalent."
However, let's work with the easy Spanish words first. It's the suffixes that change in many cases, and it tends to be a regular thing too. As in the example of "plastic" becoming "plastico," many other words ending in "ic" change to "ico" in Spanish. Clásico, cómico, histérico, metódico, técnico are all examples that you should have no problems in find out what the English counterparts are. It's not just the "ic" ending words either. Easy Spanish becomes even easier when you bring in all the other groups, such as "abundant" becoming "abundante" in Spanish, "monument" becomes "monumento," "pianist" becomes "pianista," "indication" becomes "indicación," "patent" becomes "patente," "religious" becomes "religioso."
Easy Spanish can be very easy many times. How do you spell, "central"? You spell it quite simply as, "central." The pronunciation is different from the English (you emphasize the "a" and not the "n"), but it's delightfully alike and certainly a good instance of easy Spanish. There are others too. Other instances are words suchas, "animal," "noble," "admirable," and "director." Most of the times, these types of words have the exact meaning as in English, but sometimes they are somewhat different. For instance, the English word, "conductor" when applied to a person usually describes someone leading an orchestra. However, in Spanish, it means the driver of a vehicle.
Many a times, easy Spanish needs some form of lateral thinking. A car is "coche" in Spanish. You may think at first glance that it's nothing like the English language, but think back to the days of highwaymen traveling the English countryside looking to hold up a coach. Coaches were the cars of those days, and the Spanish word, "coche" is just the modern counterpart.
There certainly are Spanish words that hold no resemblance to their English counterparts, but that is to be expected; otherwise Spanish and English would end up as one language. Easy Spanish definitely exists, and it's easy to learn too. You really can learn Spanish easy, fast, and conveniently by looking at the similarities between English and Spanish terms.
