French from English. Had déjà vu lately? In
a restaurant or café, you may start the meal
with an aperitif, perhaps Champagne, and you
may find pâté or omelette is served and end
with soufflé or mousse for dessert.
When it comes to tongue twisters –
virelangues – it gets a little more challenging
but you’re sure to recognise some of the words
in these examples:
Les chaussettes de l’archiduchesse sont-elles
sèches, archi-sèches?
Are the Archduchess’ socks dry, very dry?
Or how about this tongue twister that’s full of
words that sound the same, but are written
differently, known as homophones:
Si six scies scient six cyprès, six cents scies
scient six cent cyprès
If six saws saw six cypresses, six hundred saws
saw six hundred cypresses
And this one is perfect for practicing your ‘on’s
and ‘en’s and ‘ou’s and ‘ue’s:
‘Tonton, ton thé t’a-t-il ôté ta toux’ disait la
tortue au tatou. ‘Mais pas du tout’, dit le tatou.
‘Je tousse tant que l’on m’entend de Tahiti à
Tombouctou.’
‘Uncle, your tea has cured your cough,’ said
the tortoise to the armadillo. ‘Not at all,’ said
the armadillo. ‘I cough so much that you can
hear me from Tahiti to Timbuktu.’
