If you’ve watched La Casa de Papel, you probably wanted to cosplay as the professor at some point. Disguising as the professor without being able to speak Spanish is a crime that any fan of the show won’t tolerate. That’s why we’re here to help!
Typically, you start learning a language by memorizing its vocabulary. If you’re using a dictionary, you’ll see that it’s organizing the words alphabetically, and that’s kind of what we’re doing today.
Although we can’t list all the Spanish words in one article, we’ll list here the Spanish words that start with C.
