Learn Spanish: "False Friends" to watch out for | Intermediate and Advanced Spanish

Ever been tricked by words that seem similar but have different meanings?
Two languages may share common roots or historical influences, but over time, some words evolve differently in each language. As a result, they end up looking or sounding similar but have totally different meanings. We call these "false friends."
In this video we walk through some common words that trick English speakers who are learning Spanish.

Asistir has the meaning of "to assist" as well. Depends on the context.

You beat me to it. Does not mean embarrassed!

I know false friends in real life and that’s 99.9 percent of people unfortunately ❤. Thanks for the lesson! Bien hecho. 😊

Sorry. Barron's does not agree. Asistir can mean to help or assist. However to keep things simple I can easily remember "ayudar" for assist or help and "asistir" as to attend.
