Patrick Middleton speaks to us about faux amis.
Translated literally this means false friends. It could of course apply to real friends but in this case mostly to words we think we understand. With a lot of languages words are shared but in the course of moving from one land to another they have acquired different meanings.
Patrick tells us more and also gives us examples of how this can be an embarrassment as well as lead to misunderstandings in the press.
Patrick is with us for regular programmes on his area in the south of France as well as intriguing insights into what it is really like to be a long-term expat.
Patrick is also the Features Editor of The Riviera Reporter and you can have a look at his magazine or make contact with him at: www.rivierareporter.com
More programmes to come on topics such as zoos, Monaco and what is lurking in the waters around the French coast. Don't miss him!
