What They Didn't Teach You in French Class: Slang Phrases for the Café, Club, Bar, Bedroom, Ball Game and More (Dirty Everyday Slang)

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 café 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? •
