Os falsos amigos na relação espanhol - português

Abstract

During the learning/teaching process of any language, one of the main effects of the interaction between the linguistic systems both students and teachers have to face, is the so
called “false friend”.
From the linguistic term False Friend and from the mental process that originates it, we shall establish a new classification of the main cases that exist in the learning and teaching of Portuguese-Spanish (elementary level). Finally, we shall end this paper with a brief appendix containing the most common false friends.
