Almost everyone over the age of 5 right now seems to have a cell phone. What most people don’t realize is that, just like your DVD’s and many of your home electronics, you can switch the language mode of your cell phone and learn a great deal of Spanish vocabulary simply by using your phone in the Spanish language mode. Below are some examples of a few of the Spanish words that you can learn just by messing around with your mobile:

menú menu
contactos contacts
abrir to open
cerrar to close
llamar to call
mi música my music
llamadas recientes recent calls
perdidas missed
recibidas received
marcadas dialed
todas all
mi cuenta my account
herramientas tools
mensajes messages
nuevo mensaje new message
borradores erased/deleted
entrada inbox
enviado sent
opciones options
historia history
favoritos favorites
salir to exit/to leave
borrar to erase
contestar to answer

These are just a few of the words that you can pick up by using the various gadgets you’ve got around your house. While simply knowing these words will not give you a functional knowledge of how exactly to use them (conjugating verbs, using different tenses of the words etc.) it will increase your overall vocabulary. And once you’re started to master the basic syntax the Spanish language, the only thing that will really separate you from a much more fluent Spanish speaking will be the depth of their vocabulary.
