WHEN IS THE 'H' SOUND NOT PRONOUNCED IN ENGLISH:

 In general, there is no rule in English to tell you when to pronounce the 'h', but it is rarely silent. So you have to learn the exceptions as they come along. Usually they turn out to borrowings from French, like 'honest', 'honour', 'heir', 'exhaustion', 'Thailand', 'vehicle', 'ghost', 'ghetto' and 'hour'.
The words starting with a silent 'h', if preceded by the indefinate article must have the 'an' version. For example, we'd say 'an honest fellow'. Hope that helps.

MIXING COMPARATIVES AND SUPERLATIVES

Many of our English as a foreign language students use a comparative when a superlative should be implemented. For example, a student might say something like ‘tea is the more popular drink in England’. Obviously, the superlative ‘most’ must be used here (i.e. el más popular). As you can probably see, we can’t use ‘more’ since this is the comparative version. Thus, we should use ‘tea is the most popular drink’. http://www.clasesinglesonline.com

HOW TO TRANSLATE 'ME SUENA' INTO ENGLISH

‘Me suena la cancion’. Two good options for translating this phrase into English would be the following:
1. ‘The song seems/sounds familiar (to me)’
2. ‘The song rings a bell’

Like in ‘me suena’ the key thing is that you are not totally sure if you know the song or the object of the sentence. Naturally, there would be some doubt about the object. http://www.clasesinglesonline.com 

ENGLISH COMMON ERROR: DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 'SHADE' AND 'SHADOW'

Now that much of Europe is experiencing a heatwave many people need to take refuge from the heat in the shade. In English, When we talk about being in the darker area where sunlight doesn't directly hit, we call this 'the shade'. This is uncountable so you can't say 'a shade' in this context. If you want to speak about a specific darker area outside which doesn't directly catch sunlight, we call this 'a shadow', a countable noun. For example we can say 'the shadow of the tree is very big' or 'if I go into the sunlight, I will have a shadow'. So use 'shade' in a general sense and 'shadow' in a specific sense. Hope this helps. http://www.clasesinglesonline.com

'ASIGNATURA' IS 'SUBJECT', NOT 'SIGNATURE'

When we are talking about studying in English students often translate ‘asignatura’ (for example, ‘maths’, ‘history’…) with ‘signature’. Unfortunately, we have a false friend here. A ‘signature’ is a person’s name written in a distinctive way as a form of identification in authorizing a cheque or document or concluding a letter. This is normally translated to Spanish by the word ‘firma’. ‘Asignatura’ would be ‘subject’ such as history, maths or linguistics. For example, ‘the subjects I will study for my A-levels are biology, chemistry and physics’. Instead of ‘subject’ you could also use the words ‘discipline’, ‘field’, ‘branch of study’ or 'area'. http://www.clasesinglesonline.com

Use of ‘health/healthy/healthily’

First, health means ‘salud’ so we can translate ‘el sistema de salud’ with ‘the health service’. We can also say ‘do you have good health?’ for ‘¿Tienes buena salud?’.

Second, and this is the most problematic area with our English students, is that ‘saludable/sano’ means ‘healthy’ and these are all adjectives. Thus, we can say ‘the food is healthy’ or ‘it is healthy to go hiking’. However, since ‘sano’ or ‘saludable’ can also be adverbs such as in sentences like ‘como sano/saludable’, students often say ‘I eat healthy’. Unfortunately, this is incorrect and we must implement the adverb form of the word in English which is ‘healthily’. Therefore, the correct sentence would be ‘I eat healthily’.

Lastly, if we want to say something will do your body good we would often inplement the following phrase: ‘it’s good for your health’. This sentence could refer to the person/people you are conversing with or it could talk about the health of people in society in general.
