Spanish Language Institute in Prague

Here are cuatro 😏 common Spanish-learning mistakes:

Mixing up “años” and “anos”
One means years. The other means... well, don’t forget the tilde (ñ).

Using “embarazada” for embarrassed
It means pregnant, not embarrassed. That’s a much bigger problem.

Rolling every R like a race car
Not every “r” needs Formula 1 energy. It's okay to do it with "rosa" but not with "aroma", for example.

Saying “Estoy caliente”
You mean “I’m hot (temperature)”. What you actually said might raise eyebrows.

Spanish tip: If people laugh, you’re either making progress or making memories. Often both 😄

In English we have “you are” 🇬🇧

But in Spanish we have… 🇪🇸

“tú eres” (singular)

“vosotros sois” (plural)

“usted es” (formal singular)

“ustedes son” (formal plural)

“vos sos” (Angentina and Uruguay variety singular)

“ustedes son” (Argentina and Uruguay variety plural)

Or for places or temporary states:

“tú estás” (singular)

“vosotros estáis” (plural)

“usted está” (formal singular)

“ustedes están” (formal plural)

“vos está” (Argentina and Uruguay variety singular)

“ustedes están” (Argentina and Uruguay variety plural)
