Greeting
Hello, receive a cordial greeting of peace and well, today you will be presented with
examples about false friends, those words that in English are written in a very similar
way to Spanish.
Introduction
Well, as you may have guessed, fake friends are words that at first glance seem to mean
the same thing in English and Spanish (or a combination of other languages) because
they are spelled similarly, but actually mean very little (or nothing) different. False
friends or false friends are words that show similarities with the words of our own
language and cause errors, because the similarities are only a formality.
Examples

temporarily in a hospitality establishment, especially in a hostel, or in someone else's
home.

our daily lives, goodbye
