The Wikipedia says that these are often mistaken for false friends.

Try Google - that might help.

Hello Daiane..I posted these sites for u a couple of days ago...Try these sites  http://brazilianportuguese.wordpress.com/category/grammar/false-cognates-grammar/  and http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~pmerson/falseCognates.html and http://www.sk.com.br/sk-fals.html
You can make a pairing worksheet where ss have to pair the cognates and false cognates with their real meanings.
