Right this second

I don't, but what I find so damn annoying is when you have a word in english but you can't find a french translation

I know the feeling. I have this problem with two specific every day words in particular : aspirateur and passoire. (in fact, I had to search for passoire in my head, this one only ever shows up in my head in Italian for some reason -_-')

Very true. When I read an English or American book, there are often words I do not understand. Sometimes when I seek in an online dictionnary, I do not find any french translation. They just say : This word is unknown.

Yeah, there's that too, but I more meant like when you see an english word, you know what it means, but you can't find the french version, even if it would save your life !

Aspirateur is vacuum

Aspirateur is vacuum

I know (actually my brain tends to use 'hoover'), but I've sometimes spent ages trying to 'connect' the right parts of my brain for silly every day items like that, although I know the words but... brains are weird ^^

It's because it's a brand even if to me, Hoover refers to Egard Hoover

Yeah, but that brand is so cute that sometimes I just nickname every hoover Henry

Hoover also refers to Edgar for me, actually. (Hoover refers to a few more things also, because my brain makes connections that just, don't, make, any, sense (Well, they do, but it's so far fetched sometimes...)

When I lived in Englans, I didn't how to say "casserole" so I said pot instead of the right word. And my flatmates understood me all the same.

Isn't pot the word, though ? It's the first one that popped (haha) into my head

I'm listening cheesy songs of Angunn (that woman is so beautiful ohmygod )

What a gem from the past

 

[Adybou]

Indeed I happened to listen to her songs because of the article on madz about the singers from 00s
(and my mom used to listen to one of her records A LOT so that's a trip down the memory lane for me )

Now I want to do it too
But ... Replayyyy !

@The Dean you know a song is reaaaaaaaally old when you have the "m6 music" thingy in it

 

[Tératogène]

Okay so I come back here only to see unpunished double-postings. I SEE YOU [HASHTAG]#DoublePostingPolice[/HASHTAG]

Anyways hi guyzzz good to see you again here. I'm craving for chatting in English but I'm only surrounded by French-speaking people here and it's sososo annoying for me
Let's wish for finding an internship with an English-speaking environment next time

@Tératogène I am NOT thanking you, my brain is severely overheating right now, and I haven't typed that fast in a very long time, and I can't get that stupid grin off my face (that smiley is really well named, too)
