Lightbulb vrais amis ?

So, you've heard of faux amis, well, how about vrais amis? Since I've been trying to learn French, I've noticed that there are many words that are either the same or similar and sometimes it wasn't so obvious at first since it might typically be translated to a more common synonym. In any case, it might be helpful to associate some words to help to remember what something means. (if there was an appropriate place to put this, it would be interesting to add Spanish to the list and see what words are the same in all three languages).
français | anglais
conseiller | to advise (think consult)
consulter | to consult
facile | easy (not common, but sometimes facile is used in English similarly)
facilité | ease (or easiness, lack of difficulty, (look up and) think facility)
faciliter | facilitate
aise | ease (as it's used in various expressions)
colère | anger (related to cholera. I guess if you have that, you might be kind of edgy anyway - don't know if that really helps)
bombe | bomb | bomba
ajouter | adjunct | adjunto (there's a relation (adjunct & adjunto are more closely related))
