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.

Excerpt from A German Reader for Beginners: With an Introduction on English-German Cognates, Notes and Vocabulary The anglo-saxons, who in the fifth century began to settle in England, came from northern Germany and spoke low-german, while German proper is a high-german dialect, so that the kinship between German and English, through anglo-saxon, is indeed a very close one. As a natural consequence, they have in common many words of Germanic origin. Such words are called cognates.
