Show Notes
We asked listeners for their most embarrassing mistakes when trying to speak French.
Important background:
Jouer means "to play", jouir means "to orgasm".
J'ai chaud means "I'm hot", je suis chaud means "I'm horny".
Un baiser is "a kiss", baiser is "to f$$k"
The rest are pretty self explanatory.
