False friends
Be careful of the dreaded ‚false friends’ – English words which sound and look the same as words in German but have a totally different meaning …

aktuell (current)
irritiert (confused)
eventuell (maybe)
sich blamieren (to make a fool of oneself)

actual (tatsächlich, echt)
irritated (genervt)
eventually (letztendlich, schließlich)
to blame (jemandem die Schuld geben)
