It's my third week in my new company doing my internship. We have daily SCRUM meetings, project briefings, weekly meetings, requirement documents and other stuff - all in French. I only understand less than 50% of what's happening during most of the meetings. There's enormous pressure during meetings where I have to focus on every syllable they utter to try and grasp what's going on. So far they're still under the assumption that I understand more than I actually do. Haven't run into any major fuckups so far. I feel like an exe file in a Linux environment.

Take some French Wine and you might be able to do just fine :)

If you need some help with expressions or similar stuff, don't hesitate to ask.

(Good luck)

Will never forget my first and last trip to france, where i ended up saying the phrase "give me a motherfucking mcchicken you filthy whore" at 3am in a mcdonalds

@ganjaman that sounds like a subject for a rant of its own

@alexbrooklyn I'm not a wine person really. But I do feel having a strong beer makes me better at French. xD

@Jilano Thanks mahn. Appreciate it. :") Are you on Telegram or Discord or something?

First big error at work is let everybody think you are doing fine, understanding everything or without blockers, when you are clearly not.

Pretty sure when you'll run into a challenge or a complex situation, and they figure out you are not in your 100%, they likely going to ask you why you didn't tell in first please about these blockers or push backs.

Please, let you team/coworkers that you are having difficulties, pretty sure they are going to help you more than everybody here to achieve everything.

Maybe the company can help you with a few intensive French clases to improve more every week and make your process less painful.

@exceptionalGuy Any kind of alcohol will make you less worried about how you might sound to others, hence you'll feel like you've progressed!

I have a Discord account (same handle and #0871).
