🚫 “Je suis chaud” ≠ “I’m hot” (in temperature)
✅ Try: “J’ai chaud” instead!

In French, saying “Je suis chaud(e)” literally means “I am hot,” but contextually... it can mean you're feeling romantic 🔥

If you want to say you’re warm or hot because of the weather, the correct phrase is:
➡️ “J’ai chaud” – I have heat.

Ever mixed up a word in another language? 😅

In Japanese:
"akachan ga sugoi kawaii" → your baby is very cute

"akachan ga sugoi kowaii" → your baby is terrifying

One tiny sound makes a big difference!

At the London School of Modern Languages, we help you avoid those “terrifying” mistakes. 😉

It’s strictly a colazione (breakfast) drink.
Save the milky coffee for the morning and go espresso in the afternoon!
