Actually and Obviously. What is the difference between these words?
Could you give any examples of sentences with correct and incorrect using?
I'd like to be able to distiguish it by the context of example.

Hi there
There is a big difference between "obviously "and "actually"
"obviously" means :clearly/without doubt /certainly.... for example :You are abviously wrong .(you are wrong without doubt)
"actually"means :in the present time / in reality / in fact....for example:She actually speaks English.
I hope that will help you

По словарю:
Actually = на самом деле, фактически.
Obviously = очевидно, явно.
