Here's one we missed...

DOES - pronounced DOZE, opposite of DEEZE. DEEZE and DOES (these and those)

To do sprang to mind first because it's the most common English word I'm likely to use.

It can trip young kids up here as you try to get to grips with both languages. Because we can pronounce it doys meaning "there isn't any" but it looks to our phonetic eyes it should be dO-es as in female deer version but it's mostly the "he does" version you see in English.

I thought of 'to do' when I read the title.

Then, the Sound of Music song popped into my head.
