FUN FACTS
Misusing the word "actualmente" is one of the most common mistakes foreigners make. This is because the English word "actually" and the Spanish word "actualmente" are false friends: They're similar, but the meaning is different. In today's video, John should have said "En realidad...".
In some cases, an adjective can change the meaning if you swap "ser" for "estar". In today's video, John should have said "María no es mala. María es muy buena."
The character of Laura was inspired by Federica de P. Luche, a fictitious character in the Mexican comedy show "La familia P. Luche".
