Sometimes, I have to remind myself that I want to learn French.
As when the sentence they give me to translate is They are attached to their friends, and I dutifully translate it, only to find that their version translates, essentially, to They hold to their friends. Which I have to admit is a better match than what I wrote, since my version implied more Use of Scotch Tape and Staples than it did Friendship, but still....
Sometimes, I have to work at it.
