yes of course telling my phone number in french like a normal person, meaning: forty four eighty nine ninety seven and not four... four.. eight.. eee... nine nine... seven.. (for those who are not familiar with the french system of counting I just want to say that after 60 you dont really know how to count anymore.. if you want to say that you have seventy boxes you will say that you have sixty and ten boxes.. instead of eighty you say four twenty.. and so on and so on...
but
my biggest nightmare was to tell my email adress because of my weird nickname in it. basically it has no sense in France and all those consonants together r d z.. it was horrible for my friends and mysterious for me.. I mean I felt so mysterious:)and then one day I was spelling my email adress to another person and some girls were standing next to me. When I finished one of them (later I have discovered that she was polish born in France and that she spoke polish fluentely) smiled and said:
"its so smart, its just your last name and the first name put together.. so smart!" and she left..
and I felt like something precious was taken from me. My mystery is gone.. I think I should buy some sunglasses to at least hide my eyes.. being mysterious is not that easy in this multilingual world anymore..
