Spanish is often cited as one of the most beautiful languages on earth. That's because Spanish employs the use of many soft sounds in conjunction with elongated vowels and an endearing and imperative tone in the traditional tone. Spanish vocabulary has a lot of cognates which makes it a rather easy language for English speakers to pick up on. A cognate is a word which is the same between two or more languages. For instance, in Spanish, the word "real" is exactly the same as it is in English, it's just pronounced differently. If language learners can pick up on the differences in natural accents and learn cognates, they can speak great Spanish quickly.
