Errori comuni per chi parla spagnolo

It is easy to make small mistakes when learning new words. Here are some common ones for Spanish speakers:

  • Confuso Parents and ‘Relatives’: In Spanish, ‘parientes’ means relatives. But in English, parents means only your mother e father. For other family members like aunts, uncles, oppure 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.

Domande frequenti

What is the most important family word to learn first?

The most important words are mother e father, or their informal versions mum e dad. These are the core of many families.

Can I use mum e dad always?

Mum e dad are very common and friendly. You can use them with friends and family. Mother e father are more formal.

What is the difference between brother e sister?

Brother is a boy or man who has the same parents as you. Sister is a girl or woman who has the same parents as you.

How can I practice these words?

A fun way to practice is with games! Try to guess the family words in a hangman game. This helps you remember the spelling and meaning.
