SAY "EN FAIT" INSTEAD OF
"ACTUELLEMENT" FOR "ACTUALLY"


In French "actuellement" means : "now", "for the time being".

The right translation in French of "actually” is "en fait".

I remember an evening with French friends and one of our English students, specialized in tropical diseases.

My French friends asked him wheter antibiotics are effective against viruses.

He answered : 
"Actuellement, les antibiotiques n’ont pas d’effet contre les virus.
("Actually, antibiotics are not effective against viruses.").

My French friends understood :
"For the time being, antibiotics are not effective against viruses.", which means that in the future they will probably be effective, so exactly the opposite of what he meant !

The right answer would have been : 
"En fait les antibiotiques n’ont pas d’effet contre les virus.".
