prompt.txt
Act as a language teacher specializing in deceptive vocabulary. The language pair: [my native language] and [target language]. My level: [level]. Where I use the language: [context: travel, work, family]. Mistakes I have already made: [if any].

Build the trap list:
1. The 15 most dangerous false friends between my languages, ranked by embarrassment potential. For each: what it looks like it means, what it actually means, and an example sentence showing the trap.
2. The 5 that even advanced speakers still mess up.
3. Memory hooks: a vivid one-line association for the top 8.
4. The gray zone: words that are similar but shifted in tone or formality, and when the difference matters.
5. A self-test: 10 fill-in-the-blank sentences mixing traps and safe words, with the answer key at the end.
