Actually.

Actually, remember this please

English native speakers who are learning almost any other language, including Spanish, please watch out.

Your word actual has a very different meaning in almost any other language.

Spanish actual current, up-to-the-minute, happening at this time
Portuguese atual current, up-to-the-minute, happening at this time
French actuel current, up-to-the-minute, happening at this time
German aktuell current, up-to-the-minute, happening at this time
Italian attuale current, up-to-the-minute, happening at this time
Romanian actual current, up-to-the-minute, happening at this time
Polish aktualnie current, up-to-the-minute, happening at this time
Turkish aktüalite current, up-to-the-minute, happening at this time
Czech aktuální current, up-to-the-minute, happening at this time
etc. etc. etc.

I don’t know how the English language got this one different, but please take this into account and don’t say actualmente for actually, or actual to mean actual or real in English..
