FRIENDS FALSE & TRUE: A Quiz on French Words which are just like English

46 Comments

1. A poor 11 out of 14. Really bad for a French Canadian born and raised and schooled. My excuse is that I am just as English as French for having worked more than half of my life in English. I do not know why I have always gotten Librairie mixed up with Library. I know that it is a bookstore but I can never get it right. Oh well the fact remains it was a great quiz.
