Cognates are so great -- some helpful links

Question

Hola,

We all know it is easier to learn new things if we can somehow relate them to knowledge we already know. For instance, when learning the Spanish word "door", La Puerta, the English word "portal" comes in handy.

Cognates are even better than the above association. With cognates, half of the commonly used Spanish vocabularies can be remembered with minimal effort.

I found the following cognate links are quite helpful:

Link 1 This is a cognate look up site. You can look up pretty much all the cognates.

Link 2 This file provides some basic rules to correlate English and Spanish cognates.

Hope this post can be useful for you.
