Gender flips — and the neuter disappears

German gender doesn’t carry over: der Mond → LA luna, die Sonne → EL sol, and das-words must pick el or la (das Auto → el coche). Re-learn each noun’s Spanish gender.

from your first language

ser vs estar (German has one "sein")

German merges both into sein; Spanish splits it — ser for identity/permanent, estar for state/location. "Es aburrido" (boring) ≠ "está aburrido" (bored).

Preterite in speech, not a Perfekt

Spoken German reaches for the Perfekt (ich habe gegessen); spoken Spanish uses the simple preterite — "comí ayer". And imperfect vs preterite is a second split German lacks.
