Anyone speak French? - Maxwel Cornet instagram story

[MarkGreen]

Can anyone translate his story? Mentions Burnley it seems and is filmed walking out of Barnfield training ground. Not sure if he is talking about his injury as the cameraman keeps panning down to his leg/hamstring.

I learnt some touristy French for a visit to Paris. I was so good that I managed to book a Bed & Breakfast on the phone in French. Like scoring a goal it was and it gave me confidence that when I got to France I'd be OK.

I went into a shop and said 'Bonjour Monsieur, vous avez des sandwich s'il vous plait'. Instead of responding with 'ah oui Monsieur, avec jambon, fromage' (with ham or cheese) he gurgled some words I couldn't understand. I ended up with une pomme - an apple!

Later I wanted to phone my mate (I had one then) who was staying in a posh hotel. I got through to that hotel's switchboard and asked in French to speak to M. whatever his name was and the operator said in perfect english, 'would you prefer to speak english'! I gave up.

Mais oui, je parle bien le francais mais je ne fais pas Instagram !!

My wife and used to have a Caravan and we had a fortnight touring in Northern France back in the late 90's ... we were staying on a campsite in Brittany and went down to a local hostelry I ordered a couple of Beers in my worst Schoolboy French "Deux bier Sil-vout-plait" the Barman smiled as I said "un grande pour mois et une piccollo pour ma femme " he said "I do speak English sir, but very well done for trying as so many tourists do not and treat us as idiots" ... he served our Beer and we enjoyed a delicious meal in the Restaurant.

We returned the following night and beers appeared as if by magic by a beaming Barman with a thumbs up gesture ... needless to say a good tip was left that evening

[Pickles]

I've asked my French friend to quickly translate it.

Cornet's mate
How was your session today?

Cornet
Good it was a care session, some good news, I should be back soon.

Cornet's mate
What are your plans for today?

Cornet
Finding a house, buy furniture and rest.

Cornet's mate
Little comment - no need to water the pitches here huh?

Cornet
Indeed, the weather takes care of it.

Cornet's mate
I think we're going to go home sooner because of that.

Cornet
Oh come on, no.

Ou est la plage?

What's French for "the banter is Merde on this thread?"

Good work Pickles in providing decent insight.

Hope you also said it in a very loud voice, as if he were hard of hearing?

I'm not that good but I do try at least to ask them in their native tongue whether they speak English. In Munich, on return from one of our pre-seasons in Austria, I called in a shop and said: "Guten Morgen. Sprechen Sie Englisch bitte?" It doesn't help when the one word reply is: "Nein."

I ordered a chicken, 3 chips and no sauce, today, in Spain and in Spanish.

All good except I had no idea about the response about do you want this or that etc!

thats exactly what he was on about
the idiots abroad with the old "Oi Garcon" shouty attitude

I was in Spain a few years ago and thought I'd show off and order in Spanish.

I ordered a burger with chips, but the burger already came with chips, so I ended up with a big plate consisting of a burger, chips and salad, and next to it another plate of bloody chips.

Why did you only order 3 chips? I'd have been starving

The only French I know is -
aide de taxi m'emmener à l'ambassade britannique
(taxi help take me to the British embassy)
And -
elle ne m'a pas dit qu'elle était mariée
(she did not tell me she was married)

I think that applies most everywhere. Just-speaking-slowly-in-English-especially-in-a-LOUD-voice is misunderstood/ignored as a matter of course, but granting the locals the courtesy of trying to speak in their language, no matter how abysmally will get everyone trying to help. Despite being well travelled, both the wife and I are dreadful with foreign languages, but we always arrive everywhere knowing the basics (Yes/No/Please/Thank you/Hello/Goodbye/Two Beers) and nowadays with Google to search there's no reason not to be able to.
i think our best experience was going into Albania and knowing the basics - nobody but the Albanians speaks Albanian - where our efforts earned us the cost of just about every beer that we ordered and a couple of free meals too.

On one of my first trips abroad on a motorbike I went with a guy whose only French beyond Oui and Non, was the phrase '**** you mate I'm fireproof'. I've no recollection of how it was said in French, nor how he'd come to know it in the first place, but caused a lot of amusement for both ourselves and the locals.

On another bike trip a few years later, I mentioned to another friend how I found Dutch the hardest of languages to get a handle on as they all spoke such good English, so to assist he taught me (or so I thought) to say ' sorry, I only speak English' - vergeef, ich bin Ingles halla fa zoll (phonetic - no idea how it should be written) and it was three days before i discovered that I was saying: "Sorry, but I'm an English half-wit".
That and 'hod-verdomer' are still the only Dutch that I know

My mates in the Army used to get off on telling newbies in Germany to drive to "Ausfahrt" and pick something up from the shop for them ...

I was once caught out with unseasonably early hay fever when on the Champs Elysee. Sought out a pharmacy down a back street, and tried my very best to remember my GCSE French to ask for tablets to treat rhinitis. I was well pleased with myself, thinking I'd nailed it, in a perfect French accent.

Pharmacist replied back, in broad Geordie 'what's gannin on pal, you got hay fever?'

How on earth had I found a bloody Geordie pharmacist in deepest Paris?
