Do you know one way, in French, to say you're tired ? - Here we are...
- J’ai besoin de reprendre mon souffle.
This may indicate a need for a break or rest, without necessarily openly admitting you’re tired.
1 - Je suis un peu à côté de la plaque
It means that your mind isn't clear, often because of fatigue or lack of sleep.
2 - Je n'ai pas les yeux en face des trous
It's an expression used to show that you're so exhausted you can't see straight.
3 - Je traîne un peu la patte aujourd'hui
To say that you're slow and tired, without explicitly admitting it.
Write something down below if you wish.

Thomas Ricomard specializes in teaching French as a foreign language. He has been providing private lessons since 2015, both in-person and online (via Skype). He taught at the Popular University of the Canton of Geneva (Switzerland) from 2015 to 2018, instructing several groups of 20 students from around the world (United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Spain, Brazil, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Mexico, etc.), ranging from beginner to intermediate levels (A1 to B2). With a Master’s degree in clinical and cognitive psychology from the University of Geneva, his knowledge of psychology allows him to tailor his teaching methods for optimal learning, taking into account factors such as visual memory versus auditory memory. He expresses his passion for the French language through writing texts, including poetry and songs, which he presents publicly at numerous music and slam events.
