Colleague: "KEF, il y a quelque chose que tu dis assez souvent et tu dois vraiment l'arrêter." (KEF - there's something that you say often that you really need to stop saying)
KEF :
C: "Tu dis toujours que tu fais des fautes en français mais franchement je n'entends rien du tout comme ça...tu parles français mieux que nous parlons anglais, c'est sûr. Donc, il faut arrêter de t'excuser!! (You are always saying that you make mistakes in French but honestly I don't hear any at all. You speak French better than we speak English, so you need to stop excusing yourself!)
I was just so shocked to not be corrected and criticized that he left my head spinning! HOOORAY for little victories....

High Five!
I have found, after being here so long, that if you ever have a comprehension problem with a French person, you should blame your ACCENT!
Then they will compliment you (generally) and will be nicer to you. This is especially true if you say it with a smile over the telephone (the number one enemy for someone learning a language: NO BODY LANGUAGE!)
I stopped by your blog because of the K and K podcast. It was nice too see a guest with a K name!
