Very fuzzy lexical group, it would often arise qs like 'What's more frequent, usually or often?

Translation is not a good reference. It is a common mistake among TEFL spanish teachers to assign a one-to-one translation in this group, of the kind:

usually=usualmente, also present form of soler+inf
I usually go shopping late in the evening
I used to go shopping....

often= a menudo
frequently=frecuentemente

I believe these translations may be fine, but not always...
