French is a particularly tricky language for English speakers to learn, as it is full of faux amis. This is due in part to the fact that French and English have many shared roots, but also because the two languages have undergone different sound changes over time. As a result, many words that look or sound similar in French and English actually have different meanings.

To help you avoid these pitfalls, we have compiled a list of the most common French faux amis. This list is by no means exhaustive, but it will give you a good starting point for learning about these tricky words.
