We had a playdate with some French-speaking friends this past week at the pool where I discovered I didn't know how to say “floaties”. My friends told me they are called brassards. To help prepare for the rest of the summer of moments like this where I feel mute and frustrated at not having the mot juste when I need it, I put together a cheat sheet. Am I missing anything? See an error or know of a better translation? Let me know! And thank you again to the Mamans Autour de DC for their helpful input! Merci!
