False friends in Spanish: words that look familiar… but can get you into trouble 😅 When learning Spanish, some words feel comfortably familiar. They look like English, they sound similar… and that’s exactly why they can be dangerous. Here are 5 very common Spanish false friends that learners often misuse: 1. Embarazada 🤰 ❌ Embarrassed ✅ Pregnant For example: "Está embarazada de cinco meses". 2. Realizar 🧠 ❌ I realised ✅ To carry out / to do For example: "Realicé el trabajo ayer". (To say “I realised”, Spanish uses "darse cuenta".) 3. Constipado (resfriado) 🤧 ❌ Constipated ✅ Having a cold For example: "Estoy constipado, me duele la garganta". 4. Soportar 💪 ❌ To support ✅ To tolerate / to endure For example: "No soporto el ruido". (To say “to support”, Spanish usually uses apoyar.) 5. Actualmente ⏳ ❌ Actually ✅ Currently For example: "Actualmente vivo en Madrid". Learning to recognise them is a big step toward sounding more natural and avoiding awkward moments. ✨ Which of these surprised you the most? ✨ Have you ever used one of these by mistake?
