REVISION: IT LOOKS LIKE ENGLISH BUT ISN'T-3

Good morning!

Today's English-looking words and expressions in Spanish/Catalan, and their correct translations into English, are:

Span/Cat: Una top-model
English: A supermodel

Span/Cat: Un crack
English: A star, a superstar

Cat: Basket
English: Basketball

Span/Cat: Alto standing
English: High-class

Span/Cat: Esnob (adjective)
English: Snobbish ("a snob" is a noun)

So, English speakers do not say "Messi is a crack" but rather "Messi is a superstar." And we might say "that high-class restaurant is a bit snobbish" but not "that high-standing restaurant is a bit snob." Claudia Schiffer is a supermodel (not a top-model) and a basket is something you keep fruit in and not a game played by very tall people.

NOTE: Mañana empezaremos a enviar la Essential Daily Vitamin, dirigida a los hispanohablantes que tienen un nivel beginner de inglés. A partir de ahora, cada viernes habrá una lección para dichos principiantes, escrita en castellano.

Have a nice day.
