FRENCH SLANG — The key to spoken French
Slang, known as "l'argot", is a rich aspect of the French language. It is used daily by French people from all walks
of life.
Learn to speak French as the French do!
Unlike English where a rare example of slang is dough instead of money, French has an extensive slang vocabulary, even for the most common words.
To help you understand "French French" — and not just textbook French — we offer a pocket-sized dictionary of over 200 French slang words used in a sentence, with an English translation, and a word-for-word
80-min. CD recording that follows the text of the dictionary:
- Slang word with standard French equivalent
- Example of the slang word in a sentence
