Cosima butchering the French language

Cophine Fandom Headcanon #3

#1 - Cosima is a bad driver

#2 - Delphine’s fav song is “Just Like Heaven” by The Cure

#3 - Cosima’s French is terrible.

Correct me if I am wrong Tumblr but as far as I am aware Cosima has only said one word of French throughout the entire three seasons of Orphan Black, and that would be when she first meets Delphine and says, infamously, “Enchantée.”

Apparently when Cosima pronounces this single word she does it so poorly that we as a fandom covered our ears in horror, proclaimed “Mon Dieu, il est horrible!” and then proceeded to write a million fanfics where Cosima’s poor apprehension of the French language becomes one of her defining character traits. Luckily for Cosima this is usually considered an endearing quality by Delphine, but that’s besides the point.
