Learning slang is certainly one of the most useful and entertaining ways you could do to explore a new language. Slang words and idioms help you sound so much more natural and less like a textbook. It also gives you fresh insights into how the French language is evolving, and helps you understand real French as it is spoken in the streets and in actual real-life conversations.

To some people, the French only have two expletives: merde (shit) and sacrebleu  (my God). This is far from the truth. The French language may be beautiful, but it also has a long array of colourful and ridiculously vulgar curse words.

But wait---this course is not all about teaching you how to say bad words in French. Granted, there are several entries that are somewhat offensive to some. But it’s not all about that. You will also learn tons of useful expressions and idioms that French people use in everyday conversations with friends and family.

Unfortunately, some portions of this course might contain expressions that will offend and even shock some people’s sensibilities. I have placed the most offensive ones at the end of the course so that if you would feel uncomfortable learning them, you can focus on the more wholesome slang and forget that those words are even there.
