"False Friends "

Inglês American and British Pronunciation British American English

 

False friends often make foreign  learners get confused and sometimes make mistakes,don't they ? Whenever they see words that have their origins in Latin ,they translate or compare them to the words they are familiar with in their own language.However ,these 'FALSE FRIENDS " have different meanings and uses in English.Watch the video and click on the link below to review several "false friends" you have already learned while studying English ,ok ?

By the way,everybody who loves foreign songs wishes to learn and understand what the singers are singing,then they have to check the songs'  lyrics (words of the song).The american and british lyricists or composers make us, listeners ,sing along with them . It is very nice to learn the lyrics of several songs,isn't it ? Every time we learn a new song we may improve our english pronunciation  and enjoy the songs much more !

Which word do brazilians often choose to use when they want to check the song's lyrics ? Why do they use it ? Why can't this word be used with the meaning of lyrics ? Have you ever made a mistake using any of the false friends mentioned in this post ? Is there any false friend which has not been mentioned in here that you always get confused with ?

Last but not least ,let's listen and  sing along this cool song composed by Alanis Morissette  just to enjoy and practise a bit more of English.Do you enjoy her songs ? Where was she born ? Do you like this song's lyrics ? I hope so !

Bye,bye

I liked the video about false friends because the young lady selected many words that we ,learners, get confused with. Being a Brazilian teacher , she pointed out several false friends that we often misuse. I remembered the false friend legend that is not subtitles for the films we watch.
The song has nice and different lyrics. The singer has a nice voice but I didn't know her before.
