Be careful where you put that preservativo!Hablamos de los amigos falsos en este episodio. No estamos hablando de las personas en que no puedes confiar, es decir las palabras en inglés que parecen muy similares a las palabras en español, pero tienen una significada diferente, y viceversa

In our first episode, hosts Brendan Corrigan and Cormac Ross chat about some of the many misunderstandings they've had with their not-that-great Spanish in Colombia. Cormac learnt the hard way the difference between '¿Con quién vive?' and '¿Con quién viene?'.
