Thanks for the great suggestion!

David you going to create a sub-forums of the grammatic and others things, but I'd like to have an example of the topic of the forums, I mean meanwhile wait the creation of the sub-forum, I'd like to have a little explain of the it will has about it.

Falsos amigos, false cognates in English, are words which can be easily confused because they have a similar spelling but another meaning. For instance, the English word "actually" means "en realidad", but one can wrongly use it as "actualmente". I hope I'm able to explain it

False cognates can be considered as confused words, too. Or I think so.
