Dar gato por liebre (= to give cat for hare)
It means "to cheat, trick, swindle".

Just learned the new word in Spanish “gemelo/gemela” = twin.

Often I make up stories to memorize new Spanish vocabulary.

Spanish Mistakes-6
“¡Está preocupado hoy!” is NOT “You are busy today.”
It means “You are worried today.”
Maybe this is even my English issue….I have hard time distinguish “occupied” and “preoccupied”!

Spanish Mistakes-4
“We have been ‘tired’ for 4 years.”
Wanted to say “married”.
Very interestingly, “casado” (married) and “cansado” (tried) are almost identical words!

Spanish Mistakes-3
“Está muy seguro hoy.”
= It is very ‘reliable’ today.
Somehow I mix up “oscuro” (=dark) and “seguro” (=reliable) very often.
