I am native French, I need concentration to understand the intent on any xyz to French Google translations. A good proof is to translate back and forth a text. I often use German to English or Japanese to English (amazon), I can guess the o

Ever tried to grill raclette, vacherinn, gruyère, camembert, reblochon etc? For a couple of raw milk cheeses that are either dedicated to eat grilled/melt or "cold". Anything like Kraft singles is a joke

I am French living in Switzerland, sorry but private health care is a scam. Switzerland choose to privatize insurance because it would be supposedly better and cheaper. 10-15% inflation a year on premiums.

I have always put the Taskbar on the left as long as I remember I could. At work, it seems I am always the only one with such habits for more than a decade in different client environment.

Vs Paraguay and Laurent Blanc goal in 1998. My original message wasn't clear, I meant they won two games with golden goals,one during the world cup in 98, and the other for the final in 2000. Basically France profit of the Golden goals

I remember a lot of bitching over the French national teams wining by the Golden goal in 98 world cup and 2000 European one. And I had forgotten the old term of sudden death.

And also the competition to get into good school etc. Basically a student life doesn't start at 18, 16, or 12, but 2years old, if not one and half (interviews for kindergarten). Constant ranking, placement exams, number of school hours

So it would be even worse, they would need to retrieve a phone number in some way and match that. I don't register email contacts anywhere, and I am not using the LinkedIn app. I would say that I have seen similar things at work/w

You can add the language, mandarin vs Cantonese. Same pattern than Tibet and other provinces (basically cultural cleansing). Since 97, about 1.5m mainland Chinese settled in HK. More than 20% of its current population. Officially about 15
