I have 5 Spanish vocabulary words that I want to share with you. I learned these vocabulary words when I first started learning Spanish and I used to walk around with a “libreta” (little writing pad) and a “lapicero” (writing pen).
And every time that I learned a new Spanish word from a Spanish speaker, I would write the word down in my “libreta” and later transfer the word to my “cuaderno” (notebook).
1. Entregado – dedicated
Mi jefe es entregado a su trabajo.
My boss is dedicated to his work.
Besides, “entregado” you may also hear Spanish speakers use the word “dedicado” to mean “dedicated.”

2. Hebra (de hilo) – thread
