Just for your benefit / future reference, the word “specially” refers to a special case, as in “John was specially selected to carry out the ceremony.” The word “especially” however, refers to something that exceeds the norm, as in “It was especially ironic that I used the word incorrectly while correcting someone else.”

Thanks for that. I don't think that difference exist in my language, I will try to remember.
