There are also false cognates , which look similar but have different meanings. For example, carpeta means “folder,” and pan means “bread.” Do you know other false cognates? 3. ¡Hola! Welcome to Spanish class! Learn who your classmates are. Fill the chart below with names of classmates as well as where they are from and how they are feeling. Each conversation should include a greeting, three questions and answers, a nice-to-meet-you, and a good-bye. You can follow the model conversation below at first, but then feel free to switch up the order of the questions. To ask how to spell someone’s name, say “¿Cómo se escribe tu nombre?” It’s OK to spell in English for this exercise, but use the Spanish letters if you know them. Remember, we can engage in communication without understanding every word.
