This dictionary contains over 1800 words which are the same or nearly the same in English and German. Such words are known as cognates. Just like human family, not all are twins. Some will be close, others only share a common etymology. It also contains a section of "fake friends" - words which one my think are cognates, but are not. Some of these will get you in trouble, for example: Gift does not mean something special for a friend, it means poison, Use das Geschenk instead.
