FALSE FRIENDS
False friends are words in different languages that look or sound similar, but differ
significantly in meaning. For example, the Russian ‘аккуратный’ (neat, tidy) is not
the same as the English ‘accurate’.
Here are some false friends you are going to hear in Episode 3.
fr. la douche (shower) – eng. douche, douchebag (an unpleasant person)
fr. excitée (sexually aroused, horny)–eng. excited (happy and enthusiastic)
Do you know other examples of false friends?
