    I still try to use it, but most of the time because I’m mind translating burguesia/borghesia into English. Then I see some red line below the word, and immediately regret it, as my French is simply too rusty to even remember how to pronounce it.

        Mon français était bon… il y a 20? 15? ans. Aujourd’hui, me souviens pas merde.

        Trying to use French to guess how to spell it and I end with “bourgoisie”. Because then PT/IT start interfering and the word has /g/ in both, not /dʒ/ or /ʒ/. At least they force me to remember the “r”, since I don’t use it in English (non-rhotic accent).
