lesson 8.5 travailler comme un fou to like a slave Lit.

Lesson 8.5 states the following:

travailler comme un fou

to like a slave

Is this correct or should it be work like a slave?

The next phrase is

travailler comme une folle to work like a slave
Which obviously includes the word work.

Also the first translation shows up as, to like a slave, in the flash cards and maybe more? (I have not gotten that far yet)

Salut Wayne422 !

Thank you very much for your feedback, and my apologies for the late reply to your post!

Indeed, it looks like there has been a typo in the translation for travailler comme un fou - the verb "to work" should be included. You could think of this phrase as "to slave," too. Another possible (loose) translation would be "to work like crazy."

I will pass this on to the French team to take a look at these translations.

Merci encore,

Liss
