"FALL" OR "AUTUMN"?

FALL OR AUTUMN?

Recently I noticed that Spanish speakers sometimes don't know that "fall" and "autumn" are the same thing!

Most people know that "autumn" is "otoño" because they sound quite similar. Americans, however, don't use "autumn" and say "fall" instead. That is why you will often see the word "fall" when you are watching film trailers!

Example: "This fall prepare yourself for the most exciting film of the year!"

Hope that helps!
