"ELECCIÓN" IS NOT "ELECTION"

"ELECCIÓN" IS NOT "ELECTION"

This is not a post about politics, it is about the fact that when Spanish speakers think about the word "elección" they sometimes use the word "election" in English.

Unfortunately, the word "election" in English can only really be used with reference to the political process of choosing a new government. So when you think of "elección" in Spanish you need to use the word "choice".

So, for example: "At the end of the year I need to make a choice about whether I will continue on this course or not".

Hope that helps!
