| Most of the time when I leave my apartment, I put my white iPod ear buds in. This is in order to avoid embarrassing situations like being asked to recite the entire front page of the New York times in French, or worse yet, having to give directions to the nearest metro station. But, there are sometimes when it pays off to listen to conversations. Call me a voyeur, but one of the things I miss most about America, is eavesdropping on conversations, although it doesn’t work as well for me here. In one’s native language, bits of words or mumbles are still comprehensible, but a foreign language often has to be pronounced slowly, clearly, loudly, often pantomimed and finally translated by the authorities. So, needless to say, eavesdropping is hard.
Here are a few phrases to help you in your espionage:
Le Weekend: This is a clever word that means Saturday and Sunday.
Le T-shirt: This is a shirt that doesn’t have any buttons or a collar.
Le Teenager: This is a person who is between the ages of 13 and 19.
Le Sandwich: This is basically two slices of bread with filling between them.
You are on your way to becoming internationally annoying!
