Does That Sound Right?

[DeBaires]

I thought maybe we could do a game where a person posts a word in any language & the next person posts a word that sounds like the previous word in another language (whether same meaning or not), & then puts a new word for the next person.

It's also a way to learn faux amis (false congnates), words that sound the same in different languages, but don't mean the same thing.

example #1

1st person: Exit (English)

2nd person: Éxito (Spanish ~ "success")
New word: Mesaj (Romanian ~ message)

3rd person: Massage (English)
New word: Blah blah blah



Make sense?
