If you already know some Catalan, a good deal of Czech vocabulary looks less foreign than you might expect — and the reverse holds too. Catalan grew out of Latin, while Czech has taken in a large stock of international words from Latin, Greek and other European languages, so many everyday nouns end up looking almost the same in both: Catalan doctor and Czech doktor, Catalan informació and Czech informace, Catalan president and Czech prezident. This page sets such pairs side by side, so you can see the patterns for yourself instead of treating every word as brand new.
Vocab Voyage turns pairs like these into flashcards you can actually learn: you see an English prompt and type the Catalan word, and spaced repetition brings back the ones you keep forgetting. Accents are forgiven, so you can focus on the word itself. Sign up with just an email — no card, no password — and start building recall for Catalan vocabulary that, thanks to its Czech look-alikes, is often easier to remember than you'd think.

It means the Catalan and Czech words for the same English meaning are either spelled exactly the same, like agent (Catalan agent / Czech agent), or differ by only a letter or two, like client vs klient and adreça vs adresa.
Most of these pairs are not inherited from a common ancestor but borrowed: older items come from Latin and Greek, and newer ones are modern international words that both languages adopted, such as film, test and sexy.
No. Vocab Voyage forgives accents when you type your answer, so a missing accent on a word like informació will not cost you progress and you can concentrate on the spelling of the Catalan word itself.
