The entree one is purely American, not used in the UK

Entree in UK is what we also call a Starter which is your Appetiser. Never realised it was a main course over there

A Valet in British English was a servant as well, specifically a gentleman’s servant

Valet is also servant in English, though. Also the rack where you hang your suit.

Some of these were purely differences between French and American English

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the way we use touché in English isn't something that often gets said in French, no?

In Australia we say that the entree is the appetiser, and the main course is just the main course we don’t really use the word appetiser at all

I think these are just American English because I speak British English and use the words here like the french, other than valet which is your car getting cleaned

What are the other two languages that you speak? As an English native, was it hard to learn Romance languages, like French?
