Throughout our lives we have an involuntary exposure to the English language, however this does not

ensure functional learning, since it only occurs without a prior or subsequent explanation. Based on
this, the acquisition of vocabulary is limited and with greater complexity in the face of comprehension.
Therefore, do you consider that the association of terms from English to Spanish is a good method for
vocabulary acquisition?

The idea of using strategies in the field of foreign language learning comes from research aimed at
clarifying what makes a good language learner, highlighting that one of the most successful strategies,
and most common, is Mnemonic Learning, being a system of rules and methods used to remember or
learn something specific, using previous knowledge to incorporate new ones. It is for them that the
association of terms of similar structures is the first thing we do when trying to learn a new language,
this is known as Cognates and False Cognates, where the false cognates are pairs of words in two
languages that are perceived as similar, but have different meanings.
