A finder for look-alike words two languages share, to give learners an easy head start
People learning a new language already know many of its words without realizing it, because they look alike and mean the same thing in their own language. Someone learning French wished for a tool where you pick two languages, such as English and French or French and Dutch, and get a full list of those shared words, so you can pick up thousands of easy ones before the unfamiliar ones. They also wished translations would prefer the shared words where they fit, which makes a translation easier to check and to learn from.
