Ep. 16: Cognates & False Friends (w/ co-host Marcin)

Episode 16 - Marcin and Heather discuss the topic of cognates and false friends, focusing mostly on false friends as they're more interesting and memorable. We give examples from Polish, German, French, Romanian, Swedish, Indonesian, Malay, Korean, Japanese, Spanish, Czech, Georgian, Arabic, Portuguese, Catalan, and Hungarian. Most of our examples came from our friends from the Polyglot Conference and our Instagram page.  Thank you to everyone who contributed to make this episode possible.  We apologize for any misinterpretations or errors in pronunciation.  Please let us know what you think of today's episode and the podcast in general by writing to us at tfibpodcast@gmail.com or finding us on Instagram @thefutureisbilingual.  We love to hear from you.
