Usage Note
Actualmente is a classic false friend: it means 'at the present time', NOT 'actually'. English 'actually' translates as en realidad or de hecho. Use actualmente when describing a present-day state or situation, and be careful not to slip into the English false cognate.
Examples
"Actualmente vivo en Madrid."
Natural Translation
I currently live in Madrid.
Literal Translation
Currently I-live in Madrid
