French and Romanian both descend from Latin, and that shared root still shows up across everyday vocabulary. This page lines up words whose French and Romanian forms are identical or differ by only a letter or two, so you can see the family resemblance instead of memorising two unrelated words for the same idea.
The list doubles as flashcard practice: you get an English prompt and type the French word, with the Romanian equivalent shown alongside it. Spaced repetition brings pairs back around as you are about to forget them, and accents are forgiven when you type, so you can focus on the pattern rather than on keyboard shortcuts.

Each card shows an English word; you type the French answer, and the matching Romanian word is displayed alongside it so you can see the connection. Spaced repetition then brings each pair back for review around the time you are likely to forget it.
No, accents are forgiven when you type your answer. It is still worth noting the accented spelling as you review, since that is the correct written form.
Yes. Prompts are in English and you type the French word, so you practise producing French while the Romanian form beside it acts as a memory hook for the shared pattern.
