So you’ve learned the basics in French Class. You know how to say, “Comment allez-vous? or “Où sont les toilettes, s’il vous plaît? or “quel âge avez-vous?” but how do you take it to the next level?

Discover one of the most important yet often one of the most overlooked aspects of a language: idioms and popular phrases in common use. Think about how in English, so much of what we say is full of expressions and figures of speech and idioms.

We say things like: “dime a dozen,” or “beat around the bush,” “cutting corners,” “speak of the devil,” etc. Plus, there is so much slang and so many phrases in popular use especially with young people: “To have a crush on someone,” “I’m all set,” “I’m down for that,” etc. Plus there are so many slang words we use that have other meanings in popular use like: “cool,” or “sick” or “lame” etc. This is the same if not even more common in the French language.
