76 Times People Worked Their Way Around English Words That They Didn’t Know Or Had Forgotten
If you want to learn a language, you have to be OK with failing. You're gonna mess up sentence structures, mix up genders, and even forget the simplest words. It's bound to happen. But if your ego won't crumble in the process, you'll learn that it's the only way to master a foreign tongue. And that people love effort.
Sam Collins is a 26-year-old gay man and the CTO of a medical software company, who also streams on Twitch every week. He grew up in an English-speaking part of Canada, but he now lives in a French-speaking area. And that's precisely where he met Vince, his boyfriend.
Vince isn't a native English speaker. But he's killing it; Vince finds a way out of a sentence even when he doesn't know the right words. This one time, for example, he forgot the word lid, so he held up a pot and asked Sam, "Where is his hat?"
Sam had such a good time with the genius one-liner, he even tweeted it. And he wasn't the only one who adored it. Nearly 800,000 people have liked his tweet so far, and many have responded to it with other brilliant English word 'replacements'.
