French Word of the Day: DÉJÀ VU

Have you ever entered a place for the first time and felt like you've been there before? Or met someone and felt strangely familiar with them?

- Vu = seen
Today, the expression is used in many languages, including English.

Example: J'ai un déjà-vu.
( I have a feeling that I've experienced this before.)
