This Spanish Quickie covers another cognate group.  Which means more free words!  Remember, cognates are free words because they’re basically the same in both English and Spanish.  Just knowing these words exist, really is way more than half the battle.  They’re a good investment of your time, is my point.  Watch the video.  Peruse the Word List.  Then get out there… and speak some Spanish!
