Discover the Spanish speaker within!

Many of the words you know in English are similar and often the same in Spanish, such as color and famoso. Spanish In Plain English is the easiest and fastest way to build your Spanish vocabulary by using your prior knowledge as the foundation for language learning. Inside you will find chapters devoted to three types of words: familiar terms, identical and similar terms, and “falsely similar” terms. By studying these words, you will see just how many Spanish words you already know and how easy it is to pick up those terms that are close in meaning to their English counterparts. Even if you have little or no knowledge of Spanish, you can have a 5,000-word vocabulary in no time at all!
