When you are learning a language, cognates are an important tool! A cognate is a word that looks like and means the same things as a word you already know. Cognates help us understand the new language by using information we already know.
For example, you can probably figure out parts of this sentence: "Cognados son importantes."
If you guess that means "Cognates are important", you were right!
Whenever you read or listen to a new language, pay special attention for cognates, and it will help you successfully understand the message.
