Thanks for this list of words! Teaching French to English speakers, using this type of mirror words is always useful!
English vocabulary was heavily influenced by French after the Norman Conquest in 1066. The Normans, speaking Old French, introduced many French words, especially in law, government, art, and cuisine. Over time, these words became part of everyday English, shaping its rich lexicon. The exact percentage varies, but the influence is clear.

Hello there! As a French and Spanish tutor, I thick that it depends. If we take the example of Du**lin**o and Pra**tik@ or any "Persona" AI Chat, you will learn something. So the applications are tutor friendly and tutors are AI application friendly. The problem with that is to think that those applications will complete your learning process. Is not enough. We need to read, to listen, to speak, to write if we want to learn something. Those applications might be useful, but is not authentical. In my case, I choose different teaching methods in order to provide a complete program. There is no problem for me if someone use AI application. I only suggest to write by hand, because I know that using this way you might integrate the knowledge in your memory. If hope you find my answer useful. Regards! PL
