‘This chart covers Spanish words and phrases
that English speakers often find tricky or difficult
to.remember, including idiomatic expressions,
verb expressions, and false cognates, It is meant
{or students who already know basie Spanish.
For intro-level vocabulary and pronunciation, see
the Spanish Vocabulary SparkChart, For more
in-depth grammar, see the Spanish Grammar
and Spanish Verbs SparkCharts.
‘When speaking or writing in Spanish, try to use
‘words and grammatical structures that you're
already familiar with. you're talking and get
stuck and don't know a word, explain what you
‘want to say using other words that you do know.
When using a Spanish-English dictionary, keep
the following suggestions in mind,
1. Tostart with, use a dependable dictionary.
2. Know what part of speech you'r looking for.
For instance, looking up the word well could
‘cause a lot of confusion i you don't know
Whether you need an adjective, adverb, nown,
verb, oF interjection.
‘There may be several choices, even for the
‘same part of speech. In such cases, it helps to
‘doa reverse lookup and look up each of the
‘choices in the Spanish-to-English section.
Don't try to translate idiomatic expressions
word for word, In mast eases this will result
in misunderstanding. Ifyou cant find the
correct “translation” for an idiomatic expres-
sion, avoid using it
Note any regional variations mentioned in
the dictionary, Sometimes this is crucial, as
with the verb eager, which is used commonly
in Spain and other countries to mean "to get”
fr “Yo eateh” ut has an obseene meaning in
‘Mexico and other parts of Latin America,
Make sure you know the eorrect spelling
ofthe English word you're looking up. For
texample, the results will be very different for
stationary as opposed to stationery, ot prin-
ciple as opposed to principal
