FR: Vive La France !

To my knowledge, almost 80% of the kids starting school in Lebanon, go to French schools like myself and everyone i know around me and during these school years english courses are taken. On the other hand, when they reach university level, most of the Lebanese prefer to go to english universities because of their courses system, called the American system.

Yesterday something caught me regarding the difference of letters quantity between french and english words with same meaning, below are the famous three ones I got:

Maintenant (10 letters) = Now (3 letters)
Prochainement (13 letters) = Soon (4 letters)
Aujourd’hui (10 letters) = Today (5 letters)

And while writing this post, something also came up but vice-versa

Yesterday (9 letters) = Hier (4 letters)

Allez les Bleus & Vive la France !!!
