When I first moved to France, my French left a lot to be desired. It is still far from perfect, but I can get by now and have a little book of phrases that help me get out of all situations. So today, I thought it would be fun to introduce you to Virginie, a French teacher who helps expatriates who live in France improve their level of French and integrate successfully so that they feel confident and more at ease.
She’ll be sharing some fun tips on how to improve your French and some common mistakes all English speakers make, as well as some of those hilarious faux pas where a direct translation means something quite different from what we think it does - this includes me telling my post lady I was feeling horny.
No, of course, that’s not what I thought I was telling her; I thought I was telling her how hot I was, weather hot, not that type of hot. So buckle up, as it’s back to school time today, and together, we learn a few key French phrases to make your next trip to France smoother.
