Group (Noun)

Level 1:
Group - Grupo


You can see this one, easily. It's even fairly easy to catch when listening to spanish. This is, in fact, a stereotypical Level 1... Take the English word and add an "-o" to the end... at least in the pronunciation.

As you can see in the spelling, the "o" in the center of the word is not present in the Spanish spelling, "Grupo." Actually, when you look at it, you have to ask yourself why there's an "o" in the English version and why it's not "grupe" - but English is funny that way.

The fact that "Group" and "Grupo" contain exactly the same letters, in a slightly different order make this pair that much easier to recognize and translate.

Pronounced: "GROUP - oh"
