The expat language flub stories post is NOW LIVE HERE!
Living abroad can be a mix of emotions, and for an upcoming post, I want to lighten it up a bit — with your language mishaps. Did you mispronounce a word or mix up two similar words leaving those around you red-faced or just confused? Whether you’re a current or former expat, regardless of country, I want to hear your expat language stories!
Read on!
You’re not alone. I’ve made my fair share of embarrassing mistakes and wrote about it here. If you embarrassed yourself when trying to speak in the local language, I’d love to hear from you. Laughter is good for the soul!
Email me at ouiinfrance at gmail dot com or use the contact me form here (Do NOT comment on this post please. I want to save ‘em for the post!).
You don’t have to be a blogger and all countries/languages welcome and please let me know if you want to be anonymous. I’d be happy to link to your blog/Twitter. Please submit by May 15th. I will be compiling my faves into a post to run late May.
Would you please do me a favor and SHARE? Thank you!
PS: I’m starting a new posting schedule (Monday/Thursday instead of Monday/Wednesday).

Hi Diane! I’ve posted some of the stories that happened to me when I first came to Boston…

These are my stories about talking English in the USA!
I don’t have any language mishaps I can think of but look forward to reading everyone else’s stories!
