About this listen
So you’ve learned the basics in French Class. You know how to say, “Comment allez-vous? or “Où sont les toilettes, s’il vous plaît? or “quel âge avez-vous?” but how do you take it to the next level?
Discover one of the most important yet often one of the most overlooked aspects of a language: idioms and popular phrases in common use. Think about how in English, so much of what we say is full of expressions and figures of speech and idioms.
We say things like: “dime a dozen,” or “beat around the bush,” “cutting corners,” “speak of the devil,” etc. Plus, there is so much slang and so many phrases in popular use especially with young people: “To have a crush on someone,” “I’m all set,” “I’m down for that,” etc. Plus there are so many slang words we use that have other meanings in popular use like: “cool,” or “sick” or “lame” etc. This is the same if not even more common in the French language.
If you want to be able to understand people and speak comfortably, you will find it almost impossible without a healthy knowledge of popular idioms, words, and phrases used by native French Speakers.
This book will teach you 101 of the most popular French Idioms and phrases that take you far beyond the basics you may have learned in school.
You will learn:
- The English and French version of the idiom/phrase
- The explanation of how to use this idiom or phrase in common speech and when is an appropriate time to use it
- Examples of casual dialogue in both French and English to show you the context of how this phrase is used
- You can practice repeating each phrase to help commit it to memory and work through the pronunciation
Now you can unlock an entire new level of ability and gain the street-knowledge and confidence you need to have real conversations in French.

Awful accent. Very suspicious reviews.
The audiobook has some useful phrases but I had to refund the item because I couldn't stand the accent of the narrator, it doesn't sound like any native French accent I've ever heard and was so distracting I couldn't manage to get through the book, let alone listen to it multiple times in order to learn it. Having clicked on the reviewers profiles for both this audiobook and the authors other audiobooks, almost all the reviewers are using cut and paste reviews, and all their reviews are 5 stars for everything they review. Paid reviews on Audible are a big problem and this looks extremely suspicious.
