I will try to explain:

For spanish learning of english there are "cognate", words with similar meaning and writting in english and spanish, and "false cognate": words with different meaning but similar writting.
cognate:
eng: Spanish
False=Falso

False cognate:

Exit (go out) Exito (get sucsesfull)

spanish learnears of englis get confused and writte "I hope you could get EXIT in your meeting" when the correct form must to be: I hope you could get sucsesfull in the meeting.


I mean they think in spanish and writte in english

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡!!!!!!!!!!

Hola mi cara Elba,
First of all, thanks a lot for correcting my mistakes, esto es lo que busco aqui. The brend you have noted is not available in our city, there are CAMINO, TRES OCHOS, SOMBRERO NEGRO and stuff we buy - OLMECA or SAUZA. I will try CORRALEJO if I find it.

you must be very carefull with the brands, because people from Japan, and some oriental countries are producing Tequila.
Mexican tequilka is excellent and has denomination of origen. you musto to get brands as Sausa, Corralejo, Herradura or search the brand wich must to have the line "made in mexico", the rest are false Tequila.
Be carefull please.
