So, I've decided to start a list of words that we learned in French, but that the French don't actually use.
1. Fin de semaine. People don't know what we're talking about when we say this. You have to say 'week end'.
2. Chien chaud. Nope, its a good old hot dog here in France.
3. Biscuits? No, I'd rather have les cookies, s'il vous plait.
I'll add more as they come. We've also found that just saying a word in English with a French accent works sometimes, if we're desperate.
