      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.

    As a Spaniard, the false friend that impacted me the most when learning English was "sensitive" and "sensible", which in Spanish are "sensato" and "sensible", the only thing is that their meaning is crossed. They would translate like this:
    Sensitive (in English) --> sensible (in Spanish)
    Sensible (in English) --> sensato (in Spanish)

      As an American, I would say large usually means wide.

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

    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.

      @Esneyk nebulous Preñada (the cognate of pregnant) was the standard word, it became vulgar in a "Victorian" society context and replaced by a Portuguese term like embarazada or some silly expressions like en estado de buene esperanza. And the word for deliver a baby is parir, replaced by dar a luz, but in the Hospital the maternity room is called paritorio.

    En español también existe el adjetivo "embarazoso" para referirse a algo muy molesto y "embarazado" para referirse a alguien cohibido o incómodo. Además de las acepciones comunes de embarazada.

    May I point out something? Some of the Spanish spelling of the words in the "subtitles" are wrong. Examples (I'm writing the right ones): 6:28 "Esta canción ha tenido mucho éxito"; 8:07 "No se va".
    Another thing to have in mind, "polla" might not be found in all Spanish countries. In Argentina, at least, it's not used as in Spain.
