🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

In French schools, children are taught to raise their 'main gauche' (left hand) to distinguish it from the right, often using the 'L' shape trick with their thumb and index finger, just like English speakers. The terms 'Left' and 'Right' in politics originated in the French National Assembly of 1789. Those who sat 'à gauche' were the radicals and revolutionaries. In Quebec, directions are often given with 'virer' instead of 'tourner' in informal speech, but 'à gauche' remains the same.

💡

The 'L' Trick

If you forget which is 'gauche', remember that 'gauche' starts with 'G', and in many cultures, the 'G' side is the 'G'ood side... wait, no, just remember 'Gauche' is 'Left'!

⚠️

Don't say 'Le gauche'

When giving directions, never use the article 'le'. It's always 'à gauche'.
