Update: 2025-08-15
Description
Last time, we talked about false friends—words that look similar in English and your native language, but mean something very different.

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."
