"Sacred monsters, when prégnant doesn't mean pregnant, old-fashioned words that are back in style, and why the French occasionally drown fish - here are our favourite French words of the Day. Every day The Local publishes a French word or phrase of the day, focusing on colloquialisms, slang, sayings (and a bit of swearing) - you know, the type of French you might not learn in the classroom, but will hear all the time in the street."
"Every day The Local publishes a French word or phrase of the day, focusing on colloquialisms, slang, sayings (and a bit of swearing) - you know, the type of French you might not learn in the classroom, but will hear all the time in the street. This daily habit means we have a very extensive back catalogue - find it here - and we've picked out eight of our recent favourites."
A daily French word or phrase feature highlights colloquialisms, slang, sayings and occasional swearing. Commonly used street-level vocabulary appears that learners may not encounter in classrooms. An extensive back catalogue supports regular selection of recent favourites. Examples include expressions for sacred monsters, the unexpected use of prégnant that does not mean pregnant, old-fashioned words that have returned to fashion, and a curious phrase implying the drowning of fish. The term polar denotes a specific genre of books and movies rather than anything to do with ice or polar bears.
