• Italian and Spanish share many cognates, but false friends can cause misunderstandings, especially in spoken interactions where context is limited.
• The use of formal and informal registers differs subtly between Italian and Spanish, making it challenging to choose the appropriate level of politeness on the spot.
• Pronunciation differences, such as the Italian double consonants and Spanish aspirated sounds, can lead to confusion or mishearing during real-time spoken translation.
