It's the same with German. I had a German friend and every time I wanted to learn and use a cool new German word with him, it was the same word in English.
Well to be fair at least english is a germanic language lol. Tbf I don't know if it really makes a difference, cuz I feel like there's a pretty good chance they're just straight loanwords, rather than evolving alongside each other or stemming from the same base or anything
