False Friends - statements II

Esses falsos amigos só existem para confundir nossa cabeça. Então quer dizer que AMASS não tem nada a ver com amassar? E que ANTICIPATE está longe de ser antecipar? O bom é TO ANTICIPATE que nossas cabecinhas possam TO AMASS tanta informação. Porque ACTUALLY , nós não somos ainda ADEPTS nesse negócio de False friends. Ainda bem que esses falsos friends estão na AGENDA para esse mês inteiro , assim faremos melhor APPLICATION de tudo o que estamos aprendendo. Nosso próximo APPOINTMENT é com o estudo serio dos falsos friends e depois de conseguirmos identificá los e não cometer mais erros, expressar nossa APPRECIATION áqueles que nos ajudaram com esse estudo.
