V. Reading Comprehension False Cognates

During my recent trip to a Spanish-speaking country, I found some amusing situations due to false cognates
in the language. For example, when we invited our friends over for dinner, one of them seemed surprised and
asked if we were going to eat “money”. That's when we realized he was confusing the word "dinner" with
"dinero".
One of the funniest moments was when my friend said his sister was three years “mayor” than him. We all
thought he meant "Mayor", but he explained he was referring to "older" in English.
Later, we went shopping and my friend asked me to help him choose his best “ropes” for the party. I thought
he meant a "rope" to tie something, but he actually meant to choose his best "clothing".
After a day full of adventures, we sat down for a “lecture” about ancient history. At first, I thought it would be a
"class", but it turned out to be just a "reading" from an old book.
