That's right Muriel but Hoover is a brand whih is used as a noun or a verb by some British people (no American -  such as Frigidaire in France)... not Queen's En.
The true name of the appliance is a vacuum cleaner, tho' hoover is known.

Not exactly I'm afraid, Muriel.

For me,
- "Back to square one" means we start again (Fr "retour à la case Départ"), no need to forget about the experience
- "Wipe the slate clean" rather means that we can forget the experience (Fr "faire table rase, passer l'éponge, faire le ménage"), no need to start again.

There's an idiom stating: "To start again with a clean slate" (Fr "repartir à zéro")... as you can understand, "to start" is not included in "wipe the slate clean"

It's generally much better when you do something "off the cuff" because it sounds much more natural .

Yes but we need a minimum of time or good knowledge to provide a good result.

"Off the cuff" - The French equivalent is "au pied levé".

Hi Gérard, all the expressions in American English are super and I wish I could remember them all. Anyway personally I have problems with the different accents. All the different ways of pronouncing the various words are for me still difficult.
