Are you tired of being unable to express yourself in Spanish simply because you have a limited vocabulary? If you answered “yes,” then I can tell you from personal experience that I know what it’s like. And I can assure you that I can help you add hundreds and hundreds of Spanish words to your vocabulary.
I started learning Spanish on my own sometime in the late 1990s in my home city, New York, prior to relocating to Colombia in 2007. In my journey to learn Spanish, vocabulary was one of the most challenging areas of the Spanish language for me to master. Although any linguist will tell you that the English language has more words than the Spanish language, it had always seemed to me that there were an overwhelming amount of vocabulary words that one would have to master in order to become fluent in Spanish.
When learning Spanish, I had my own techniques and strategies for learning Spanish vocabulary words. One technique that I had was to stick little yellow post-its all over my home with the name of the item written in Spanish. My refrigerator had a post it which said “nevera.” My toaster had a post-it which said “tostadora.” On the side of my bed, there was a post-it which said “cama.” Even my blender had a post-it stuck to it which read “licuadora.”
Another technique that I had was to make my own flash-cards using index cards. On one side of the flash card, I would write an English word, and on the other side, a Spanish word. Despite the fact that I would spend several hours a day studying or learning Spanish, adding enough Spanish words to my vocabulary in order to achieve fluency seemed like a never-ending task. I felt that if I could just somehow hack the Spanish language and quickly add a few hundred more or a thousand more Spanish words to my vocabulary, I would finally achieve fluency.
I used to and still continue to read lots of books that will help me to improve my Spanish, including Spanish grammar books and Spanish literature. Over the course of studying and learning Spanish for two decades, I have stumbled upon several books and ebooks that cover the topic of Spanish cognates.
It was while reading a book on the topic of cognates when I had an aha moment. Cognates are certain words that exist in both Spanish and English that are spelled the same way or almost the same way, and that have the same meaning or very similar meanings.
The English language and Spanish language have hundreds and hundreds of cognates in common. By developing a thorough understanding and knowledge of the cognates that the two languages have in common, I was able to quickly add a few hundred more Spanish words to my vocabulary in a matter of days. The way my vocabulary had increased was analogous to a volcanic eruption, hence the name.
With Volcano Spanish, I will show you how to add hundreds and hundreds of new words to your Spanish vocabulary simply by using the English words that you already know. When you finish with Volcano Spanish, you will have the tools in order to build an enormous Spanish vocabulary just by following a few simple rules and applying them to your knowledge of the English vocabulary.
