- Ever been tricked by words that seem similar but have different meanings?
Two languages may share common roots or historical influences, but over time, some words evolve differently in each language. As a result, they end up looking or sounding similar but have totally different meanings. We call these "false friends."
In this video we walk through some common words that trick English speakers who are learning Spanish.

thank you I learned something... thought you would mention embarasada also :)
You beat me to it. Does not mean embarrassed!
Excelente, muchas gracias🙂
Asistir has the meaning of "to assist" as well. Depends on the context.
I know false friends in real life and that’s 99.9 percent of people unfortunately ❤. Thanks for the lesson! Bien hecho. 😊
Sorry. Barron's does not agree. Asistir can mean to help or assist. However to keep things simple I can easily remember "ayudar" for assist or help and "asistir" as to attend.
