how words between languages have drifted to different meanings (my
favorite is the "pregnant" / "embarrassed", which has drifted into multiple meanings in
my target languages).


My favorite is English "black" and French "blanc" (meaning "white") sharing the same
etymology (from a word meaning "ash").

My work and my study induces me to learn more languages. In my country, English is a
second language we had to study since we were at grade 6. But actually, my English is not
really good. Recently, I have learned Chinese a little bit.
