      It's funny, some of those words are false friends in Italian too.
      Imbarazzata = Embarrassed
      Polla doesn't exists in Italian (at least not with that meaning and it's a rare world), we have pollo which means chicken (hen would be gallina)
      Largo is extremely interesting, we have the same word but it means wide, not long. This makes it a tri-lingual false friend.
      We have esito instead of exito, but it just mean "outcome" (it could be good or bad), and is often associated with a test or exam of some kind.
      We don't have hipo or hippo. Hippo would be ippopotamo (we don't shorten it). We also have ippo- as a prefix, and it can used to form words related to horses. Ippica = horse riding/racing Ippodromo = Hippodrome
      The video is great!

      The Hispanic people that can’t roll the “R” tend to be those born in the United States, but didn’t learn Spanish from their parents. This is actually quite common as more Hispanic people are now 2nd and 3rd generation born in the U. S. and are taught Spanish later on in high school.

Unless whatever is being talked about is actually both, but then I think a lot of people would say "big" and "tall" instead of "large"

    The word "embarrassing" seems to have come from Portuguese "embaraçoso", which has the same meaning.

      @@guillermomaita2624 well, at least in Mexico "excitado" has only one meaning, and it's a sexual one, it doesn't mean anything else. The situations where I've heard this word and it doesn't mean anything sexual is in chemical areas, but in cotidian life, (in Mexico) "excitado" always means what I've said.

      @@guillermomaita2624 I’ve never herd anyone say “Estoy exitado por ir al concierto”, sounds too weird to me. “No le hables que se excita” sounds perfectly fine if your trying to convey that someone gets too emotionally expressive or angry/grouchy when you speak to them, not necessarily nervous (nervioso) though. In fact, nervous people tend to be very shy and reserved, lacking excitement.

    False friends in English usually come through Middle French loans during Norman conquest of England from XI century. Both French and Spanish languages descend from Latin. French evolved earlier, around IX century. Spanish a bit later around X century (at least our oldest written texts are from X century). Also English took words afterwards from ecclesiastic Latin used in christian church. Many original Latin words might have evolved differently in the 3 languages becoming these current false friends.

    There was no need to put the word "polla", since in Spanish there is the same word polar and with the same meaning, for example, "oso polar ", "clima polar", "hoy hace un frio polar", etc. And the Spanish word that most closely resembles embarrased is not "embarazada" but "embarazoso".
