    Students are paired up and given a worksheet with Russian words translated to the Latin alphabet. They are tasked with guessing the meanings and discussing their answers with their partner. After 2-3 minutes, the teacher reviews the answers with the class, explaining some were false cognates while others sounded similar in Polish and Russian due to the languages' similarities, but also contained differences like false friends.
