Traduisez-vous dans votre tête du français vers l'anglais ? 🤔 𝗖'𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗼𝘂𝘁 à 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹 : même si vous parlez très bien anglais, vous avez probablement l'impression de rester bloqué sur des sujets complexes ou émotionnels. Dans ces cas-là, votre cerveau se met naturellement à traduire du français. 👉 Mais...lorsque vous traduisez du français, vous n'arrivez pas toujours vous exprimer comme vous le souhaitez 😖 Il y a une raison à cela : dans les langues latines, le sens est souvent véhiculé par des noms, alors qu'en anglais, nous aimons les verbes. 𝗟𝗮 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗿𝗿ê𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗱𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗱𝘂 𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗻ç𝗮𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗲 𝘀𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗯𝗲𝘀 ! Changer la façon dont vous formulez des phrases entières n'est pas évident et nécessite un changement de mentalité. C'est un point sur lequel je travaille avec mes clients de coaching, qui ont besoin de parler un 𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗮𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗿, 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗲𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘂𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗳. Regardez ma vidéo pour plus d'explications et d'exemples 👇

Absolutely spot on Catherine 😀 - we love the verb phrase over the noun phrase. I work on this a lot with my learners. Mastering this aspect turns what people here in Spain call Spanglish 🇪🇸 into English. I’m not sure if there’s an equivalent word in French?🇫🇷 Franglais?

Big difference indeed !
Last week I had one of the scariest experiences of my life. I was flying back from Amsterdam to Nice after the Toastmasters international conference. Everything was as usual, until the pilot announced, “We’re going back to Amsterdam.” Everyone in the plane groaned. But then he added, “There’s an electrical fault which has affected the brakes and we don’t know if the back up braking system has been affected or not. We need to go back to Amsterdam to land on the longest runway possible. The crew will now prepare you for an emergency landing in 30 minutes.” The worst thing was that I could hear in the pilot’s voice that he was stressed. I looked at the crew’s faces and although they were calm, their faces showed that they were scared. The next 30 minutes were spent practising the brace position, removing all jewellery, glasses, tightening our seatbelts, learning how to open the emergency doors. We were told to study the safety card, which everyone did more intently than ever before! And like most of the other people on the plane, I was quietly worrying that we’d crash at the end of the runway and perhaps this was how I was going to die. We landed in brace position, with the crew shouting “brace for landing”. Luckily the emergency brakes worked 😅 If you’re expecting me to tell you that I have now changed my life for the better and I’m giving everything up to become a life coach… …I’m not 😆 I did say to myself, “Only trains from now on”, but I still had to get home and that involved two flights the next day. What I did realise was sometimes you have to give up control and put yourself in the hands of people who are trained for this. Also that after we landed, all the passengers were talking to each other, everyone was friendly and helpful. And when I saw some of my fellow passengers the next day, it’s like we were friends, bonded by this experience. And that made me think, why can’t we always create these human connections, even when we’re not in such an emotionally charged situation? So that is my resolution from this experience: make more human connections with everyone around me. (Photo taken from my flight home the next day: I’ve never been so happy to see the Îles Lerins 😁)
