How To Learn Spanish Like Crazy and Spanish Vocabulary Words
By:Pat Jackson

In this lesson you will learn how to learn Spanish like crazy along with some Spanish vocabulary words. You will also learn some prefixes in the target language. Let's look at some vocabulary words that begin with the prefix "des."

Deshecho - undone
Deshacer - to undo
Descubierto - uncovered
Desagradecido - ungrateful
Destapar - to uncover
Desafortunadamente - unfortunately

Note that the Spanish prefix "des" can also mean the English prefix "dis."

Desarmar - to disarm
Desaprobar - to disapprove
Desobediente - disobedient

Now here's a pitfall that you will want to avoid. And it is a mistake that I have heard more than
one English speaker make when speaking this foreing language.

The correct way to say "disrespectful" in Spanish is NOT"desrespetuoso." The correct way to say "disrespectful" in this foreign language is "irrespetuoso."

Katerine le habló a su mamá de manera irrespetuosa gritándole palabras groseras.
Katerine spoke to her mother in a disrespectful manner yelling rude words at her.

In fact, if you go to the online "diccionario" (dictionary) for the Real Academia Española (Royal Spanish Academy), the official institution responsible for regulating the Spanish language, and you search for "desrespetuoso" you will get a message that says:

"La palabra desrespetuoso no está en el Diccionario."
The word desrespetuoso is not in the Dictionary.

So don't ever say "desrespetuoso" when you should be saying "irrespetuoso" for the English word "disrespectful."

This concludes today's online Spanish lesson on how to learn Spanish like crazy along with some Spanish vocabulary words and prefixes in the Spanish language.
