Heard in a classroom this morning...

Commonly Spanish students misuse other and another.  Have a look at the following website for a great explanation of this mistake: http://www.hablamejoringles.com/other-y-another/
 
Equally, especially and specially are mistaken in their use.  Look at this website for an explanation of the difference: http://www.saberingles.com.ar/which/95.html

Another topic that came up this morning was that of English proverbs.  As such, it is interesting to know their equivalent in Spanish.  For example, the early bird catches the worm / Early to bed, early to rise, makes the man healthy, wealthy and wise = A quien madruga, Dios lo ayuda.(http://www.saberingles.com.ar/idioms/proverbs.html)
