I know what you mean; there are countless words that both languages have in common. The idea I had at the time I posted this thread was for people to post a few words they know that are the same in both languages so maybe someone could only know one language, but be able to communicate in the other. As I see though it is not catching on and is not as great of an idea as I thought it was at the time. If someone wants to delete this thread, they can feel free to do so.
