Spanish Lessons

Falsos Amigos - False Cognates
There are a hundreds of word pairs that look similar in Spanish and English, but that mean very different things. Avoid misunderstandings with these explanations for five new false cognates: discusión/discussion, equivocado/equivocal, nudo/nude, pie, and tabla/table.

Spanish Dictionaries
A good dictionary is one of the most important tools for Spanish students. There is a great selection of free dictionaries available online, but it's also a good idea to have a program or two on your computer and maybe even an old-fashioned paper copy for your desk.
