Textbook French and spoken French are two different languages. French Slang & Everyday Expressions decodes the filler words, slang, verlan, and idioms real French speakers use every day — the language you'll actually hear in conversation, texts, and on the street.
Written by Dr. Isabelle Dos Santos, a native French speaker and educator, this guide finally explains the French that years of textbooks leave out.
What's inside: 38 chapters covering everyday filler words, slang, verlan, texting French, idioms, and common expressions built on words like on, ça, c'est, faire, avoir, and prendre. A clear register system — everyday, casual, very informal, and rude/vulgar — so you always know what's safe to say and where. 100 must-know expressions and 20 real-life dialogues showing slang used in natural context. A 30-Day Everyday French Challenge and a Slang Survival Guide for reading tone and context on the fly.
For learners who understand French class but still get lost in real conversation, this is the missing piece.
