False friends (*faux amis*) are words that look similar in French and English but have different meanings. At C1 level, you must know these to avoid embarrassing mistakes.

Critical false friends:

*Actuellement* = currently (NOT actually → *en fait*)
*Éventuellement* = possibly (NOT eventually → *finalement*)
*Sympathique* = nice/likeable (NOT sympathetic → *compatissant*)
*Sensible* = sensitive (NOT sensible → *raisonnable*)

More traps:

*Assister à* = to attend (NOT to assist → *aider*)
*Librairie* = bookshop (NOT library → *bibliothèque*)
*Attendre* = to wait (NOT to attend → *assister à*)
*Supporter* = to endure (NOT to support → *soutenir*)

In context:

*Actuellement, je travaille à Paris.* (Currently, I work in Paris.)
*Il est éventuellement disponible.* (He's possibly available.)
*Elle est très sensible.* (She is very sensitive.)

These false friends trap even advanced learners. Always verify meanings in context.
