It is easy to make small mistakes when learning new words. Here are some common ones for Spanish speakers:
- Confuso Parents and ‘Relatives’: In Spanish, ‘parientes’ means relatives. But in English, parents means only your mother e father. For other family members like aunts, uncles, ou cousins (which you will learn later), we use the word ‘relatives’.
- Forgetting ‘My’: In English, we almost always say my mother, my father, my brother. In Spanish, you might just say ‘mi madre’ or ‘mi hermano’. Remember to use my in English.
