Imagine if this happened. ~in French class~ Teacher: Okay Krista, answer this question in a complete sentence: "Qu'est-ce que vous voulez boire?" Me: Okay, I got this... "<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: 48px; line-height: 40px; letter-spacing: -2px; ......" Teacher: What the... Me: What? OH... um sorry, had something in my throat there! I meant, "Je veux de l'eau s'il vous plaît."
Omg in French a couple days ago we were all playing a game where my French teacher gave a random letter and we had to pick a category and say a word in French. So this one group got the letter 'm' with the category 'music' and they said 'la mambos' or something like that (i couldn't really hear them) and my french teacher was like "Man.....b.a.l.l.s....????" OMG EVERYONE DIED OF LAUGHTER

I love how potato in French is pomme de terre, which pretty much means "earth apple". Like, what stupid Frenchman saw a potato and said, "Zis petite legume looks like a, how you say, apple! Hmmm...but it grows in ze earth. Hon hon hon! Mais oui! C'est une pomme de terre!"

My definitions of different languages: Spanish and Italian: So, THESE words are feminine and THESE words are masculine, and you ALWAYS put an adjective AFTER the noun French: Haha, I don't f.ucking know, man. Just do whatever. German: LET'S ADD A NEUTRAL NOUN HAHA English: *shooting up in the bathroom*
Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday dear Charlie Happy Birthday to you. Feliz Cumpleaños a ti. Feliz Cumpleaños a ti. Feliz Cumpleaños a Charlie. Feliz Cumpleaños a ti. Joyeux anniversaire à vous. Joyeux anniversaire à vous. Joyeux anniversaire à Charlie. Joyeux anniversaire à vous.

In French you don't really say, "I miss you." You say "tu me manques," which is closer to "you are missing from me". I love that. "You are missing from me." You are a part of me; you are essential to my being. You are like a limb, or organ, or blood. I cannot function without you.
l'esprit de l'escalier (French) That feeling you get when you leave a conversation and think of all the things you should have said. There is no word in the English language for this.
