PROFT · COGNATES · SAY THEM IN ENGLISH

Same word.
Different sound.

Hundreds of English words look and mean the same as in Spanish: information, nation, hospital. The spelling matches, the sound does not. Cognates trains your ear and your voice to say them the English way.

HOW A WORKOUT WORKS

Every unit is a complete workout

Each section opens the next. Mark each activity as complete and your progress is saved.

1

Learn the contrast

How each sound is made, a Spanish speaker alert and examples with audio.

2

Train your ear

Which word?, odd one out, and real sentences where one sound changes the meaning.

3

Speak

The pairs lab with voice recognition: the app tells you which version it heard.

4

Use it

Pairs in context and a short dialogue to shadow with the marks.

5

Play

Sound order, memory, a 45-second speed round and the sound sorter.

6

Prove it

Record and compare, read and pronounce, and a final quiz to pass the unit.
