1. Guru The word guru as used in English is used in the same sense as Sanskrit and refers to a person who is regarded as a teacher, guide, expert or master.

4. Avatar The word avatar comes from the Sanskrit word “avatara”, which means ‘descent’ and in Hinduism, the word refers to the manifestation or incarnation of a deity.

5. Loot The word loot as used in English comes from the Sanskrit word “lunth” which means ‘to rob’. It is used both as a verb and as a noun in English, with the noun referring to goods that have been stolen.

6. Punch While the word punch can refer to hitting someone with the fist, punch is also a drink that is made from wine or spirits and mixed with fruits and spices. This word comes from the Sanskrit word “pancha” which means ‘five’, as a traditional punch drink was made using five ingredients.

7. Pundit In modern English usage, the word pundit is used to refer to a person who is highly skilled or an expert in a particular field. It comes from the Sanskrit word “pandit”, which means ‘learned’ or ‘skilled’ as well as a ‘learned man’.

In this episode, we focus on one of the most powerful spelling patterns in English: the Magic E. Adding a silent e at the end of a word can completely change the vowel sound—from short to long.

Through a series of minimal pairs like cap–cape, fin–fine, hop–hope, and cub–cube, you’ll practice hearing and producing the difference between short and long vowels. The goal is not just accuracy, but awareness—training your ear and mouth to clearly feel the contrast.

Listen and repeat, exaggerate the vowel length, and strengthen one of the core pronunciation patterns that appears everywhere in English.

cap - cape, tap - tape, mat - mate, hat - hate, can – cane, pan – pane, man – mane, mad – made, fad – fade, dam – dame, Sam – same, rat – rate, fat – fate, wag – wage, plan – plane, tap – tape

¡Hola! Welcome to Spanish from Zero, a podcast for people who are just starting the amazing journey that is learning Español.

Today’s practice is focused on two really useful questions that are gonna help you get unstuck when you don’t know a word.

• If you want to use a word but you don’t know it in Spanish, you can ask:
¿Cómo se dice ___ en español?
For example: How do you say “class” in Spanish?

• If you encounter a word in Spanish but you don’t what it means, you can ask:
¿Qué es ___?
For example: What’s “clase”?

So, in this episode I ask 12 of these questions for you to answer, but you’ll see that they’re all really easy:

¿Qué es Hola? 
¿Cómo se dice Thank you en español?
¿Qué es Lo siento?
¿Cómo se dice Hi en español? 
¿Qué es Gracias?
¿Cómo se dice Sorry en español?
¿Qué es Por favor?
¿Cómo se dice I don’t know en español?
¿Qué es De nada?
¿Cómo se dice Please en español?
¿Qué es No sé?
¿Cómo se dice You’re welcome en español?

And finally, let me leave you with this question: 
¿Cómo se dice clase en inglés?
