Welcome to the second part of anglicismos <\/em>in Spanish!<\/p>\n

Any list showing English loanwords being used in Spanish will encompass terms used in many fields of knowledge, like technology, management, or even everyday life.<\/p>\n

What is important is to always be aware of the fact every anglicismo<\/em> have some equivalent in la lengua de Cervantes<\/em>, which you may use freely according to context.<\/p>\n

Once again, you will see the loanwords on the left side of the colon as they should be spelled following the Spanish grammar or as they are most commonly written; for some, I have added the English word they come from. On the right side, I have included alternative words in Spanish you could replace the extranjerismo<\/em> with.<\/p>\n
