スペイン語話者がよく犯す間違い
Spanish speakers sometimes confuse these verbs because of similar concepts in Spanish:
- Teach 対. Learn: In Spanish, 'enseñar' can mean 'to teach' or 'to show'. Remember teach is always 'to give knowledge'. I teach English. (NOT I learn English to students.)
- Learn 対. Study: 'Aprender' in Spanish can mean both 'to learn' and sometimes 'to study'. In English, learn is the result (gain knowledge), study is the process (spend time learning). I am studying for my exam. (NOT I am learning for my exam.)
- Take an exam: A common mistake is to say do an exam, which is a direct translation from 'hacer un examen'. The correct phrase is take an exam. I need to take an exam next week. (NOT I need to do an exam next week.)
