About this lesson
Two Spanish false friends, librería (bookshop, not library) and largo (long, not large), each taught with a short example sentence.
How to practise
- Guess what each word means before the answer shows: it does NOT mean what it looks like.
- Repeat the example out loud in the Your turn pause, then learn the word that really means the English one.
- Take the which-one-fits check at the end, and comment another false friend you know.
