Leer

Real World Example

The Spanish verb "leer" means "to read" in English. To help you remember it, think of "leer" as the literary cousin of "leer-y," as in someone who might be suspiciously squinting at a book, trying to decipher its secrets. Imagine a detective, with a monocle in hand, giving a book a suspicious "leer" while trying to "read" between the lines. So next time you see "leer," picture this detective diving into a mystery novel, eyes wide open. 📚
