Seen somewhere lately (sorry, whoever linked it originally): Important French phrases for the traveller. Highlights: “Tu as grossi” (“You’ve put on weight”); “Je vous aurais bien aide, mais je ne vous aime pas” (“I’d help you, but I don’t like you”); “Vos enfants sont très beaux. Ils sont adoptes?” (“Your children are very attractive. Are they adopted?”); “Je pense que ce vin a déjà ete bu” (“I think this wine has been drunk before”); “Je préfére l’Espagne” (“I like Spain better”).
