What They Didn't Teach You in French Class

Drop the textbook formality and chat with the locals in France's everyday language-from common words for meeting and greeting to colorful insults. Sipping a cafe au lait at a sidewalk bistro . . . Getting down at Paris's hottest club . . . Cheering on Les Bleus at the stadium . . . Packed with slang words, phrases and expressions not found in any textbook, this fun-to-read handbook teaches the casual, everyday language heard in the cafes, bars, and streets of France. No one actually speaks the formal French taught in school, which makes this book a must-have for anyone looking to chat with the locals without sounding like a robot. This handy phrasebook is perfect for travelers and students who want to fill the gap between the French they are learning in class and what is really spoken in France. - What's up? Ca va?- She's totally hot. Elle est bandante. - This party is lit! Cette bringue est enflammee!- That brie smells funky. Ce brie sent putain de drole. - Wanna French kiss? On se roule une pelle?- That ref is a moron. L'arbitre est un abruti.
