Speaker 1: this episode? I was chatting with a student about her
Speaker 1: upcoming trip and she said, stoy moi exitava ah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah if she only knew. Since I speak English, I
Speaker 1: knew she meant excited. But a Latino who doesn't speak
Speaker 1: English might hear something very different. Excitato in Spanish issues
Speaker 1: in a more intimate, spicy context. You don't want to
Speaker 1: say stoy excitato the birthday when meeting someone because in
Speaker 1: Spanish excitado means sexual, aroused, horny, but it doesn't mean excited.
Speaker 1: This is what we call a false friend on falso
Speaker 1: amigo words that sounds similar in English and Spanish but
Speaker 1: mean different things. So what could you use instead? Use
Speaker 1: emotionado or emotionalda examples, I'm excited about my next trip,
