But what does it mean to love someone in a second language Collins wonders, as her relationship with Olivier continues to grow entirely in English. Are there things she doesn t understand about Olivier, having never spoken to him in his native tongue Does I love you even mean the same thing as je t aime When the couple, newly married, relocates to Francophone Geneva, Collins fearful of one day becoming 'a Borat of a mother' who doesn t understand her own kids decides to answer her questions for herself by learning French. When in Frenchis a laugh-out-loud funny and surprising memoir about the lengths we go to for love, as well as an exploration across culture and history into how we learn languages and what they say about who we are. Collins grapples with the complexities of the French language, enduring excruciating role-playing games with her classmates at a Swiss language school and accidently telling her mother-in-law that she s given birth to a coffee machine.
