Summary/Abstract: Words of foreign origin have come into use with increasing international contact over time. On the one hand, they can make learning a foreign language easier, simplifying everyday communication among people speaking different mother tongues. However, a comparison of foreign words in Czech and their apparent equivalents in German reveals numerous instances of different usage and meaning. This interference between languages can be a source of mistakes resulting in misunderstandings.
