Common challenges: Particle precision in money verbs — pay off (loan), pay back (person), pay in (deposit), pay out (release) — each has a distinct meaning. Direction matters: splash out (spend) vs save up (save). False friends: German zahlen maps to pay, but specific German particle verbs (einzahlen, auszahlen, zurückzahlen) don’t map one-to-one.
