Cognates Worksheet

Today we learned all about cognates and completed the following activity…

Aim: How can cognates help us in understanding Spanish better?

Do Now: How much Spanish you can undertand this far? Do you think you can translate a whole paragraph? I bet you can! Translate the following paragraph in your notebook.

Hola,

Me llamo Sonia. Me gusta escuchar música. Me gusta tocar el piano. También me gusta usar la computadora y montar bicicleta. Finalmente, me gusta mucho ver televisión, hablar por teléfono y comer chocolate.

Once you are done, underline the words that were easiest to translate.
