A word about clothes, not knots

Ropa

ROH-pahClothes — NOT "rope"

"Necesito comprar ropa de invierno."
I need to buy winter clothes.

"Rope" is "cuerda." This is a classic beginner mix-up simply because the words sound so close to each other.

"An easy one to mix up on day one, and one of my favorite little "gotcha" moments to clear up early."— Graciela
