Actually means `aktuell` and sensible means `sensible`, does it not? No. These are false friends. They are so easy to mistake, but only as long as you haven`t looked at them properly. This is your chance to mixing them up. In this episode, we talk about ‘German’ false friends. These are German words that sound like English words but usually have a completely different meaning. This time, the show notes are a little different. We will list the false friends with time stamps. Can you guess the mistakes, and do you know the correct English words?
