#351 False Friends Every Romance Languag...

Last time, we talked about false friends—words that look similar in English and your native language, but mean something very different.

Example 1: Actual

This one's a classic false friend.

In Spanish, "actual" or in Portuguese "atual" means "current" or "present."

But in English, "actual" means real or true — not "current."

So if you say:
👉 "My actual job is very interesting,"
you probably mean: "My current job."
