Je Suis Folie Ah merci beaucoup. Toujours content apprendre. :]
I'm not entirely sure - but isn't there a slight difference between fou and feu?
I think feu has more of an 'uh' sounds and fou is 'oo'
I could be mistaken. It's happened before. Haha. No no, you're absolutely right !
Fou = f + oo [ like in ... erm fool , but a bit deeper ]
And feu = f + i like in flirt , but deeper again
P.S : Toujours contente d'apprendre sweatdrop ( Like in english, happy 'to' ;] )

to those just learning japanese, momo- peach and momo- thigh seem the same. this happened to my friend who was studying in japan when she was in high school. she wanted to say that she wanted to eat a peach, but her japanese friend understood it as she wanted to eat a thigh.

Hmm...
Yaa = Or (Hindi/Urdu)
Ya = Already (Spanish)
Da = Skin (Vietnamese)
Dạ = Yes (Vietnamese)
I can think of a lot of sound-alike words for Vietnamese, but I'll only use the two above as examples.

Plant [English]
Plant - Children [Welsh]
( I asked my dad what he'd bought my mum for mother's day - he told me he'd bought her a plant. He said the whole sentence in Welsh, except for the word 'plant', so I thought for a moment he said he'd bought her some children xD' )
