Look at these photographs, and discover how many of these words you already know. Again, los cognados will help you!
Cognates are words in Spanish and English that share the same Latin and/or Greek root, are very similar in spelling and have the same or similar meaning.
Example:
- Spanish: inteligente
- English: intelligent
Education systems are different around the world. In many Latin American countries, the concept of a community college does not exist. While ¨universidades comunitarias¨ or ¨colegios comunitarios¨ are popular in the United States, it is more common to hear ¨institutos¨ (ejemplo: Instituto Tecnológico de las Américas) or ¨escuelas técnicas¨ for two-year educational settings after high school.
