Pregnant means to be in labor in English.
Prägnant in German means succinct or concise.

You might hear a German native speaker say "She has a very pregnant personality".

Another thing that is different is who and where.

Who means "wer" in German.
Where means "wo" in German.
Someone who´s English is very bad might mix up the two. It´s not a problem if you pronounce the English words properly, but beginners usually don´t do that and get confused.
