Common mistakes spanish speakers make in english

Which language is more similar to spanish

While talking to a friend in English you realized you made a mistake. You probably blushed and wanted to run away… Or maybe not! But when you think about it, you might be curious to know why you often make the same mistakes.

A mistake in English means you’ve broken a rule of the language. It’s not a big deal, but you can’t let it keep happening, because it could be that your brain thinks it’s the right way to speak or say something. And then it will be harder to correct it.

Did you realize that most of the mistakes we Spanish speakers make are related to verbs? That is why it is important that you know very well the rules about the use of verbs. It is not only about knowing how to conjugate them correctly, but also about their meaning and uses.

Spanish speakers tend to make certain mistakes due to the influence of our language. However, if we know them, we can eradicate them and advance in the mastery of English. Remember that the secret to mastering a language lies in study and practice.

Difficult words in spanish

Spanish speakers share not only our native language, but also the mistakes we make when learning English. Here we are going to list ten of the most common mistakes, in order to avoid them when we engage in conversation with an English speaker.

For example, saying the people like music is incorrect; it would be people like music. Similarly, it’s time to go to bed instead of It’s time to go to THE bed.

When it comes to ‘False Friends’, it is not people who betray you but words. False friends are words that sound similar in different languages but do not mean the same thing and therefore create great confusion. Let’s take a very illustrative example.

It’s hard to learn greek

For Spanish speakers, learning English can become a real challenge. We are not only talking about pronunciation in English, which is a pending issue in many cases, but also about common mistakes we usually make when speaking English because what we say in English has nothing to do with the meaning it may have in Spanish.

While in Spanish we can omit the subject in sentences, in English we cannot, as it must always appear before the verb. Do you know why we do this in Spanish? Because we conjugate the verbs and in this way we know who is performing the action (in English the information conveyed by the verb is not enough and therefore the subject must always be mentioned).

In Spanish we can place the subject in different places in the sentence; we can say that there is no fixed structure. On the other hand, when learning English you will realize that this is not possible in this language since the structure of the sentences is always the same.
