When French sounds like gibberish, what do we say?
In this episode, we dive into the French expression "C’est du chinois" (literally: "It’s Chinese"), used to describe something incomprehensible or extremely difficult to understand. But did you know that many languages have similar idioms, often referring to foreign languages or complex subjects? In English, the equivalent is "It's all Greek to me"!
Join us as we explore the meaning of this phrase, and its equivalents in other languages. Whether you’re learning French or just love discovering linguistic curiosities, this episode in French will give you a fun insight into how different cultures express confusion!
