Because of their common origin in Latin, many words in English and Spanish are the same, or similar. However, because pronunciation is different, despite the alphabets being mostly the same, between the two languages, some cognates look more different than others.
Thus
English 'kiosk' is 'quiosco' in Spanish. To find the equivalents in a dictionary, say, you would have to look under 'k' in English, 'q' in Spanish.
Other words are apparently more similar:
'to cause' = 'causar', bu there is a different stress and pronunciation:
('too corz' and 'cah-oo-SARR')
(But at least both would be under 'c' in a cognates alphabet)
A SPANISH cognates alphabet begins with the Spanish words, so
causar = to cause
quiosco = kiosk
As stated earlier, the alphabets are almost the same, but in Spanish:
'ch....' is treated as a separate letter, after 'c'
'll....' (pronounced a bit like 'y' in 'yet') follows 'l'
'n~....' (as in 'Espan~a') follows 'n'
'rr....' trilled more than the preceding 'r'
and the pronunciation of most of the letters is different between the two languages - Spanish being generally more phonetic, i.e. the sound a letter has is the same in most words, unlike English, where e.g. 'ea' can be pronounced 'ee' (tea, seat, mean); 'ay' (break, steak); or 'e' (wealth, stealth).
