If it makes you feel any better, it should be spelled "vainqueur." Not that that fixes the pronunciation issue 😂😂😂
Reminds me of my language assistant teaching days, and the child who, in her desperate attempt to name a "double decker bus" triumphantly shouted, "Madame, Madame, I know! It is a double bugger!"
The bus thing was almost 40 years ago and I can still picture the scene! I had to pinch mysef hard so I didn't laugh. Poor kid genuinely didn't realise what she was saying.
In more recent years there was the student who'd clearly worked hard to memorise everything for a vocab test. Unfortunately his dyslexia meant that his spelling led him to write something in French which translated into English as " F*ck the car again gently."
I awarded him the mark and just corrected his spelling!
Funny how those things stick in ones mind. 45 years ago I was an English “assistant” in France and have so many memories of howlers. From both sides. And they continue!!!
