Narrative:
Holding short for takeoff on runway 10 at paris, charles de gaulle, tower says, 'after departing aircraft line-up and hold.' there was an aircraft on the runway and one on a 5 mi final. We moved into position on the runway. We held and received no clearance for takeoff and the aircraft on final had to go around. Tower informed us they said, 'after arriving aircraft line-up and hold.' misunderstanding of tower's instruction. This was my first time to europe in 6 months. I misunderstood the tower's instruction and not being used to this command, it caught me by surprise.
