False Cognates are words which are similar in both languages but have a different meaning: rent (alquiler)/renta (income). Those seemingly friendly words offer an easy but deceiving translation and present the most frequent pitfalls to the builingual-speaking person. An indispensible tool for tranlators, interpreters, and serious students of spanish. Includes over 2,000 English and Spanish false cognates with over 10,000 definitions. The most comprehensive work of this type to date. The dictionary is completely bilingual and has separate Enlish and Spanish sections.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent reference work,
By Brian Stewart (Seattle, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Comprehensive Bilingual Dictionary of Spanish False Cognates (Paperback)
I am very glad to have this book. It is very thorough and scholarly - much more so than NTC's dictionary of false cognates. It avoids silly "false cognates" such as soap-sopa and poster-postre that no one with any formal study of the language would fall into. Rather, it clarifies some of the ones that trip up even good Spanish speakers. The examples of usage the book gives are excellent. I highly recommend it.

Very useful reference,
By "linguist_law_student" (Santa Rosa, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Comprehensive Bilingual Dictionary of Spanish False Cognates (Paperback)
Excellent reference for all linguists/students. Sort of difficult to study with however...Should be divided into categories if you intend to use it as a study manual.
