Beginning Spanish ¡Empecemos por aquí!

10 •  Chapter 1: La clase de español Look these words up on https://​www​.wordreference​.com/ and write the ones that are cognates (i.e., they look like a similar word in English). If you cannot find at least one cognate in each category, think of other words that could describe you and what you like to do. For the teacher example, these are the cognates the teacher would have found: Sustantivos (nouns): profesor, atleta Adjetivos (adjectives): responsable, tímido Verbos (verbs): pintar Tu lista Sustantivos (nouns): ______________________________________________________________________________________ Adjetivos (adjectives): ______________________________________________________________________________________ Verbos (verbs): ______________________________________________________________________________________ Follow the teacher example below to create full sentences in which you say who you are and what you like to do. Notice that you will use soy to say “I am” and me gusta to say “I like.” (If you are familiar with how gender works with these words, make adjustments as needed. If you are not familiar with it, don’t worry about it for now.) Teacher example Soy profesor. Soy atleta. Soy responsable. Soy tímido. Me gusta pintar. Tú información / Your information __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 9. Más cognados Complete the chart below with more cognates. You can look these up or generate your list during activities in class. This exercise can align with sharing answers to the previous exercise. When sharing your answers and listening to your classmates, remember to ask “¿Qué significa?” and say “No entiendo” as appropriate.
