    • Abstract:
      The second guide to "false friends," or false cognates, in German and English lists and discusses more difficult terms than the first 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 "difficult" false friends. Four quizzes and their answer sheets are distributed throughout this section. The second section lists particularly difficult false cognates, including "terrible twins,""tricky over-/under-compounds,""confusibles," and pseudo- Anglicisms. A quiz and answer sheet accompany each group. Two final tests with answer sheets complete the text. 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)
