Ça m’inspire pour mon dressing ! Bon, moi je file au pressing récupérer mes slips et jogging. Allez salut !"? Discover 11 fake anglicisms we use in French - Frenglish words - words that we use in English but don't mean anything to English speakers!
In today's episode, you're going to learn:
- 11 fake anglicisms and their English translations

- how to step up your listening game with the free course "Ultra HD listening skills": https://www.quirkyfrench.com/uhdlistening
Today's takeaway:
1. Some of these words don't even have alternatives, they are simply part of everyday vocabulary and need to be learned!
2. To practice your pronunciation, use the shadowing technique: repeat each section after me as accurately as possible, focusing on pronunciation and intonation. Next, layer your voice over mine and real along out loud. This exercise will boost your listening and speaking skills. To practice more shadowing exercises, simply join the free 7-day course to develop Ultra HD listening skills.
