¿CÓMO SE USA "SHAME" EN INGLÉS?

I have noticed that lots of students use the word "shame" when they are trying to translate "vergüenza". Although this is not completely wrong and can be used in some circumstances, I would prefer you to use a different option.

I generally use "shame" to say "que pena". For example: "It is such a shame you can't come to the party". If you are looking for the best option for "vergüenza" I would go for the word: "embarrassed" (que no tiene nada que ver con "embarazada"!!!)

For example: I am so embarrassed when I speak English".

I hope that helps!
