Avoir un coup de foudre

Idioms can be very confusing because they do not make sense when translated word for word.
To help you to sound more fluent and to better understand French culture,
have a look on our French blog post where you can find a list of French expressions about weather. 

Parler de la pluie et du beau temps.
To make small talk.

Weather is one of the most common topic of conversation.
It plays an important role in social interaction.
It's a good way to start a conversation, a way to break the ice.
Have a look on our French post to consolidate your communiaction skills and extend your vocabulary. 

French pronunciation sometimes seems to be hard because of liaisons.

When a French word ends in consonant, it is normally silent. In some cases, the final consonant can liaise and be pronounced with the next word begins with a vowel : that’s a liaison.

Here are, in the French post, rules about the required liaisons and the forbidden liaisons which should never happen.

We hope it will be helpful.

A few kilometres from the boundary of Spain, in the very South of France, Collioure is a pretty colorful Catalanian harbour. We took time to relax there this week-end.

Have a look on our French Web page to know more about the surprising discoveries we have made : a colorful village which had inspired the fauvism movement ; a delicious Catalonian cuisine influenced by Spanish, Moorish and French cooking ; an endearing village that is rich in history, traditions and heritage.

Prendre une bûche !
To fall down; to fall flat

On our French post, you will find a list of idioms built from the Christmas vocabulary.

Thoroughly, familiarize yourself with them to sound like a native speaker.

Joyeuses fêtes !

In our French page, you will find French terms about Christmas to help you through the festive period.
