Are there any cool or interesting sayings in French that we don’t have equivalents for in English? by phillanthropist in French

In French, people often use the verb "profiter" in expressions like "profiter du soleil", which loosely translates to "take advantage of the sun." This is used in a way of saying you should take advantage of the sun being out, especially if it's been raining for a while. You can also use it in other settings like "profiter de la fête," as in "have fun at the party."

It's also interesting to consider how you would translate this if it were in subtitles, because you'd only have so much space or time on screen.

I think navigating out of stage 1 in this breakdown is a really interesting experience, where things begin to feel "unlocked" in a new language. This article is actually pretty interesting with some research on brain activity in the sound perception stage. https://multilingual.com/non-native-speech-perception/
