Today’s Useful French

Watch today’s video to hear the pronunciation for these French words and phrases:

Funny French

I came across an old French phrase book of mine, and the phrases are meant to be said “tongue-in-cheek”, which means they are cheeky and funny. If you’re easily offended, please don’t read (not even while squinting with one eye closed):

• Vous etes une super nana! / You are an absolute babe!
• Vous etes un ange descendu sur terre. / You are an angel come to earth.

For those who like to talk about wine:

• Le Chateau Montrose etait futé mais trop discret. / The Chateau Montrose was clever but shy.

Need to curse with attitude? :

• Bande de chameaux! / You bunch of camels!

Making friends at an art gallery or other pick-up spot:

• Parlons-en tout en prenant un café express. / Let’s talk about it over a cup of espresso.

Shopping for trinkets

• Hier, j’ai acheté une Tour Eiffel en plastique. / I bought a plastic Eiffel Tower yesterday.

If you like these, let me know, and I’ll feed you some more in upcoming Postcards from Paris :-)
