It is easy to make small mistakes when learning new words. Here are some common ones for Spanish speakers:
- Confusing Parents and ‘Relatives’: In Spanish, ‘parientes’ means relatives. But in English, parents means only your mother et father. For other family members like aunts, uncles, or 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.
