Some words in English look similar, or can be confused with words in other languages.
Take a look at the three examples below that can be confusing for German speakers who are learning English.
Recipe. This is a set of instructions that we use when cooking to tell us which ingredients are needed and how to prepare and cook the food.
Receipt. This is a piece of paper you get when you have paid for something.
Prescription. This is a piece of paper you get from your doctor. It lists the medication you need. You take it to the pharmacy to get the medication.
Have fun learning English!
