¡Ojo! Important and interesting facts
Be careful while using the word frente, because it changes its meaning depending on the article used. Indeed, la frente means forehead, but el frente means front. Also when someone has a double chin in Spain you can say that he has una papada and also mofletes (chubby cheeks). Now think about Peter Griffin and smile!
