False Friends: Stolpersteine des deutsch-englischen Wortschatzes.
Breitkreuz, Hartmut
The guide to "false friends," or false cognates, in German and English is designed such that it can be used as either an instructional tool or a reference guide. An introductory section defines false friends and discusses different types, and provides a set of symbols for distinguishing them. The first major section lists, alphabetically in German, and contains notes on "easy" false friends. Four quizzes and their answer sheets are distributed throughout this section. The second section lists more difficult false cognates, and contains four additional quizzes and answer sheets, and two final tests with answer sheets. Appended materials include German-to-English cognate lists, categorized by difficulty level and type, a list of references, and both English and German indexes. The explanatory text is entirely in German, with some notes, sample expressions, and sentences in English. (MSE)
