Portuguese has loads of cognates and false cognates with english and a few with german (I know very little german thou, so maybe there is a lot too). What amazed me is the striking similarites between portuguese and some scandinavian languages. Romenian and portuguese are surprisingly similar too (like a lot), I guess it has to do with the latin root of both, but I have no idea why the scandinavian ones have so much similarities with portugues.
