As an adjunct to grammar study, this shortcut to an extensive Spanish vocabulary helps minimize the gap between an existing English vocabulary & the desired Spanish vocabulary. It is designed for use by anyone learning Spanish regardless of the level of study. Extensive lists of words in each conversion pattern are provided flagged for words which don't follow the stated conversion formulae & for words that appear similar in the two languages but having significantly different meanings. (A list of 500 misleading cognates is included to help avoid embarrassing errors). Tips are provided to help in determining noun gender. Supplemental lists of key groups of nonconverting words & lists of 40 separate subject matter groups with their Spanish equivalents are also included. This is the first of a CONVOCAB series on the conversion of vocabulary between English, Spanish, French, Italian & Portuguese.
