This video covers 12 common mistakes that native French speakers make when speaking English. Even if you are completely fluent in English, there still seem to be some common tripups that French speakers share.
Whether it's because of the faux amis or false friends (e.g. normally, actually) or because of habits from the French language (e.g. since, funny) I will take you through the 12 most common mistakes that I encounter all the time here in France. If you use these easy tips to improve your English, I'm sure you'll impress the next time you're in a multicultural setting and speaking en anglais!
