Definición

  • People learning a new language often rely on their knowledge of their native language as they attempt to communicate, especially when the two languages are related and have many words that look or sound alike. This is a useful strategy, but it can backfire, as many language students know. [Source: Encyclopedia of Bilingual Education; Cognates, True and False]
