All of us would surely not want to sound like an idiot. However, this is what happens most of the time when we are trying to learn a new language. Intentionally or innocently we tend to make frequent mistakes, which more often than not lead to unwanted misunderstandings, this usually happens in a professional environment where communication is the key.
Mentioned below are some of the frequent mistakes people make when they are learning Spanish. They obviously are not the mistakes made by all, but they reflect in quite a detail as to how the speech can be derailed. The ones below should surely help you to avoid some mistakes.
People assume that the words shared by English and Spanish both mean the same thing: This is quite a vague assumption and is not true most of the time. Those words that are similar in both the languages are called as cognates. Since both English and Spanish are both derived from the same language, which is Latin, we stumble upon words that sound the same. But most of these words have a different meaning in English and Spanish.
