False friend lists needed...

[trixie33]

Hi there, all!
I'm trying to compile an international collection of false friends with English.
I already have a whole bunch of German examples from a German-speaking friend of mine, but would appreciate input from other teachers from all over the world.
Do me a favour - sit down and write me a list of the worst examples you hear in your classrooms. If possible, can you put them into 3 columns, namely Original word, False friend and foreign translation, Correct English word.
You can post here or send to [email protected]
That would really be fantastic!
Thanks, y'all!!

I know it might be a bit of hassle to type in a whole list of flase friends, but you can post a link, if you like.
I'm especially interested in any false friends between English and Asian languages like Korean, Mandarin and Japanese.

Have you tried Wikipedia?

There were also some lists for various languages (not that exhaustive, though) in the 1995 Cambridge International Dictionary of English.
