I always swear that I passed my French O level because I worked the work crépuscule into my essay - my dad told me that word and I loved it so much that it stuck, which is more than could be said for most of my grammar at the time! I think they thought, well, she must be good if she knows crépuscule and has clearly forgotten everything else due to exam panic... Sand in your pockets and nothing on your mind    Report

Our French teacher made us learn certain words and phrases by rote and insisted we use them in every essay. "Crépuscule" was one. Another was "Ce n'est qu'une averse. Ca passera vite." I once had a perfect opportunity to use the latter in France but I could not make myself say it! However, I did once have a conversation with a Frenchman which involved "crépuscule".    Report
