Knowing these words allows you to describe what you study, what you like, and what you find difficult. This vocabulary is especially useful for exams like the A2 Key (KET), where you might be asked about your school life or personal preferences. Mastering these terms will make it easier to communicate clearly about your academic experiences in English.

Häufige Fehler bei Spanischsprechern

Using 'Topic' instead of 'Subject'

Spanish speakers sometimes confuse subject mit topic. Auf Englisch, subject refers to a class at school, while topic is what you talk or write about.

  • Falsch: My favorite topic is maths.

  • Richtig: My favorite subject is maths.

'Math' vs 'Maths'

Beides ist richtig! Maths kommt im britischen Englisch häufiger vor, und math is more common in American English. For the A2 Key exam, both are acceptable.
