Hello to you, dear english speaking reader (and to you too, Than, but you're french too so you don't count).

We are here today because I wanted to give some tips to you, before you come to France, if you ever plan to.

French is a freakingly difficult language. Trust me, one of the only reasons I'm glad to be french is because like that I won't struggle to learn it. The dude who invented french was a sadistic racist, I swear. Or a spy. Or both.

Anyway, I shall begin with my first tip of the day :

This thing you just can't say.

We all know that the most used expression in english -and the most known, for that matter- is « Oh my God ». Now, saying OMG in France is really awkward for us, frenchies. Here is why :

God means God (well, duh), but in french, God had the same pronunciation as the french word 'gode'. Which means . Which means that, to us, it sounds like you say « Oh my  ».

Told you it was awkward.

If you forget about it and say this in front of a french, don't feel insulted if they laugh. You know you would too if a french came to whatever-english-speaking-country-you-are-from and said « Oh my  ».
