Crazy Grammar

Although a typical French accent is said to be sexy, it can sometimes hinder communication. A tiny error in tense, structure, expression, or pronunciation can have unexpected, embarrassing or even disastrous consequences.

Need examples ? Have a look at the humorous sketchs below from the “Crazy Grammar” web-series created by Université Paris-Saclay for learning English. Each episode illustrates typical mistakes made by non-native English speakers by using humour in a situation such as a date or a job interview. In this series, Krishna Bagadiya, a comedian, film-maker and English teacher, marries humour and grammar à la Monty Python.
