If you didn&#8217;t know, a false friend is a word which looks or sounds like a word in another language but has a different meaning. These words often come from the same original root, like my old favourite &#8216;compromise&#8217;. This word is important in negotiation as it refers to two or more parties changing their negotiating positions to reach an agreement. However, its false friend in Spanish: &#8216;compromiso&#8217; means &#8216;commitment&#8217; in English; a quite different concept! <strong>Click on the picture below to explore some of my other favourite English\/Spanish false friends!<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4>Ed Taylor (Head of Studies at King&#8217;s Training)<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/es\/quizzes\/false-friends\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8665\" src=\"https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/fruit-300x175.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"602\" height=\"351\" srcset=\"https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/fruit-300x175.jpg 300w, https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/fruit-1024x597.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/fruit-768x448.jpg 768w, https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/fruit-1536x896.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/fruit.jpg 1613w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was giving a course on negotiating in English this week in Madrid and one of my favourite false friends showed up to the session:&hellip;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8665,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[117],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8667","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-publica",""],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8667","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8667"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8667\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8665"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8667"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8667"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/virtualcampus.kingstraining.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8667"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
