Title False friends and synonyms in German
Description

The first document contains a list of 'false friends' - words which look like English words but have different meanings in German. The second lists synonyms in German and some examples of German words which are similar but have different meanings (such as 'Bahnhof' and 'Bauernhof').

Thank you to Christine Tobin for contributing these to the MFLE.
