Many words in both Spanish and English look the same and also have the same meaning. This is a result of one language borrowing a word from another, or both languages borrowing the same word from another third language, such as Latin or French. These words are called cognates.

A cognate is a Spanish word that is spelled exactly the same, or almost the same, as a word in English and that has the same meaning. Take a look at a list of the more common Spanish cognates if you want to learn to speak Spanish.
