Last weekend we went to a Japanese evening at our l9cal restaurant (we live in France 🇫🇷). The owners are our friends, after the meal there was a 'private party' (i.e a lock in) for the sons birthday. We had a great time, we started playing word games from Netflix with everyone else - you know there is a four x four grid of letters a ND you get points for finding words. I'm REALLY good at these in english, I just see the patterns. But in french??? Turns out we were good in French as well - We came second every round!! Then we asked if we could swap to English to see the results - i couldn't believe it, it was like my brain had switched off English!! We came 3rd/4th!!! People guessing with absolutely no knowledge of english did better. I wonder if it was a) the late hour b) the wine 🍷 or c) my brain was just completely tuned to French for the whole evening 🤔
