This paper deals with the translation of English-Serbian false friends into Serbian. The research was conducted in a primary school among 22 seventh-grade primary- school pupils. 14 formal and content-related English-Serbian false friends are used in the research, as well as 6 hidden anglicisms. There are three aims of the paper: first, to help pupils overcome some obstacles they have while translating English-Serbian false friends into Serbian, second, to help them find adequate equivalents for 20 English- Serbian false friends and third, to introduce some elements of contact language culture into teaching English as a foreign language. It is expected that if pupils identify similarities and differences among English-Serbian false friends and if they study them through creative activities, they will translate them appropriately. Translation is used as a way of comparing and contrasting English-Serbian false friends. Pupils’ mistakes in translation are identified, classified and then, the areas of difficulty in the target language are also found. Consequently, English-Serbian false friends are classified into three groups: adequate, unusual and unacceptable false friends.
