Pero

Pero: Easy to understand

The Spanish word "pero" means "but" in English. To help you remember it, think of the famous pirate phrase, "Arrr, matey, but there's a parrot!" Imagine a pirate with a parrot on his shoulder, and every time he wants to disagree or change direction in conversation, he says "pero" instead of "but." So next time you're about to say "but," picture a pirate shifting the conversation with his trusty parrot, the "pero" on his shoulder. 🦜
