Here we go with another bonus video to help you speak like a native.
In this video, we will talk about idioms.
The French language is a language so full of imagery that we often use idiomatic
expressions to express ourselves.
Here are a few to remember.
Forcing the hand, forcing the hand.
It means to oblige.
For example.
I didn't want to, he forced my hand.
Which means he forced me to do something.
Fainting, passing out, means fainting, losing consciousness.
For example, I didn't feel well, I fainted.
Which means I fainted and lost consciousness.
Have a lot of work to do.
Have a lot on your plate, which means a lot of work.
For example.
I'm worried because I have a lot of work to do.
It means I'm worried because I have a lot of work to do.
Another example costing the eyes of the head.
To cost the eyes of the head, means to cost a lot, expensive.
For example, this bag cost me an arm and a leg.
That means this bag cost me a lot of money.
And finally, one last example.
Telling salads.
It means lying.
For example, she tells me salads.
That means she is lying.
And that's it, this bonus video is now over.
But don't worry, there's more right after.
