NOTE: The words that are not included in this glossary are either English words, very common Spanish words (as found in the first 7 days of the Español desde cero blog), or numbers (such as 1-10: uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, siete, ocho, nueve, diez) and ordinal numbers (such as 1st-10th: primero, segundo, tercero, cuarto, quinto, sexto, séptimo, octavo, noveno, décimo) which I will cover in the next Español desde cero entry.
