That is one of the lamest pickup lines I've ever heard. Still it's worth to know :D
Perhaps Duo wants some butter to go with his corn? Or some bread to go with his cheese?
Non, je ne peux pas bouler l'alcool selon la loi (j'habite aux etats unis)
They could do with some worthwile lines like, "Do you believe in love at first sight or shall I walk past again?".
That particular line is used in Hetalia. Duo is trying to avoid being cool, therefore the awful lines.

Agreed. This is French after all. There must be a lot of good pickup lines here!

It's taken me until the 3rd lesson in this module to realise something. Duo aren't trying to increase your chances of landing a date.
They're instructing us on the things to avoid saying.

I think it would sound better in English as "I wish I were cross-eyed so I could see two of you."

I would prefer "I wish i could cross my eyes" that way its an action and its not permanent. I agree with the "see two of you" bit, "see you twice" for me means to see the person and see them again at another time

You know this section is about flirting? Shooting yourself doesn't do it for most people. Well good luck ;)
- 22
Clearly you have never heard of cupid ;)
BTW your interpretation ("See you twice") is very much the one that makes more idiomatic sense to me.

or maybe that's the point!? Can anyone clear that up. can "te voir en double" mean to see you again?

"te voir en double" means " to see two of you",. "te voir encore" , "te revoir" or "" te voir une autre fois" would be "to see you another time"".

I think these chat-up lines are more likely to result in a slap than a conquest!

At least if we learn them then anyone inclined at slapping might know who to slap

You can almost see DL smirking, as if we'll go up to some French women, armed with these lines.

How is squinting equivalent in meaning to being cross-eyed??? In English, these are two completely different conditions!

This one and the one about the shoes... these should be on asection called how to get hit on the head with an old baguette while in France.

I suppose it could work on an English woman that knows no French whatsoever. It's in French, it will sound hot to her. :-D
I have had this and the silly live in your shoes one for EVERY SINGLE QUESTION for two straight practice sessions.... How do you say "I'm losing my mind"?

I have to say that this flirting course is really not good. I feel it is a waste of my time and my lingots. "I would like to squint in order to be able to see you in double" is wrong, but "I would like to squint to be able to see you in double" is given as the right answer? Also, in my opinion these are somewhat ridiculous sentences.

This sentence as many sentences in the "flirt" lesson - disaster, sure-fire way to lose the object of your flirting right away and for ever! Do not try to use such complicated flirting, especially in foreign language!

Would you want a date with someone who squints anyway and has such a poor chat line as well?!

My eyesight is terrible and i sometimes squint, atleast now i can give the ladies a reason why :D

I would like very much to have a squint (be cross-eyed) for to be able to see you (object "you" before "to see") in double (twice).
Did I deconstruct this sentence correctly? If so, does this help anyone? This idiom has been driving me crazy for months.

I'm in the same boat here xD I was trying to figure out this pick up line but I couldn't make sense of it at all! There was no way I was going to be able to get "cross-eyed" from "squint"

I dunno, the shoes one is probably worse... At least this one doesn't make you sound like a stalker!

I guess the only reason Duo keep these sentences is because of the funny responses they get here :D

The sentence construction and yhe individual words in it are more interesting than the sentence! Less than the sum of its parts but still a lesson?

I never get this in the spelled out version... Only the "write what you hear" section, which for this particular word combination is a little mean :c
Wishing to born with crossed eyes and seeing double. So this is flirting in French?

Why is "pour" used here? I translated: "...in order to be able to see you twice as much." And I got it wrong.
I don't quite understand how this translates to "I wish I were cross eyed so I could see you twice" It could be just me, because I usually understand the french language very easily, but this confuses me somehow. Help?
I put "I want to squint so I can see you twice as much" but Duo did not accept, and gave me "I'd like to squint so I can see you twice." and " I wish I were cross-eyed so I could see you twice." as options even though it said "twice as much" was valid. Don't want to report in case there is some grammatical reason for this??

I'm not an English speaker and trying to study both English and French. I have no idea what it means.
Haha! So I can see you double... doesn't that kind of scream the words "too fat!"
This question is pissing me off it says it worng but wont tel me what is wrong with my answer
I would like to see two of you so am going to permanently damage my eyes.

I though "I would like to squint so I can see twice as much of you." might be a good translation but, alas, it was not accepted
