Estrategia

All the expressions presented here are quite general across the Spanish-speaking world, but remember that there are many others and that uses may vary even between regions of the same country.

Buenos días, buenas tardes and buenas noches are related to the time of the day (morning, afternoon and evening/night) and the formality of the situation. Both factors vary a lot from country to country.

Teatro significa "theater", ¿no?

Estrategia

You'll notice that many words are quite similar in Spanish and English. These are called cognates and they may or may not have the same meaning in both languages. Be aware of the context when you find cognates so you can tell if they are false cognates (cognates with different meanings). For example, embarazada might look like the English word embarrassed, but it really means "pregnant".
