#351 False Friends Every Romance Language Speaker...

speakenglishpodcast ·

2025/08/15

Last time, we talked about false friends—words that look similar in English and your native language, but mean something very different. Get the text on my website: Example 1: Actual This one’s a classic false friend. In Spanish, “actual” or in Portuguese “atual” means “current” or “present.” But in English, “actual” means real or true — not “current.” So if you say: 👉 “My actual job is very interesting,” you probably mean: “My current job.”

I’ve listened to the audiobook version, and what makes it extra special is that it’s a full-cast recording. That means each character has a different voice.

speakenglishpodcast ·

The word "gaslighting" comes from a play called "Gas Light."written in 1938 by Patrick Hamilton. In this play, a husband tries to make his wife think she is losing her mind. He does some tricky things, like secretly making the lights from gas lamps in their house dimmer, and then he tells her that she's just imagining these changes. This play later became a movie.
