    Foreword

    Learning slang is almost certainly one of the most useful and


    entertaining ways to explore a new language. To some people, the
    French have only two expletives: Merde (= shit) and Sacrebleu (= My
    God).

    This eBook will not only teach you how the French curse, but also
    allows you to discover some useful expressions that we use in France.
    Do not worry; I won’t only focus on offensive words! You will learn tons
    of expressions and idioms that the French use every day.

    Some portions of the eBook might contain some shocking expressions,


    but I have placed them at the end of the eBook, so if you would
    feel uncomfortable learning them, there are still tons on ‘U rated’
    expressions. I tried to sort the chapter by priority for you to learn
    without being bothered by offensive words.

    Because understanding and pronouncing the words is everything. I


    have included the MP3 in 2 versions:

    - French only to let you practice the pronunciation.


    - An French/English version which can be used as a quiz. or to learn
    the expressions without the ebook in front of you.

    Your feedback is important, and if you find this ebook valuable, share
    with me ayour review with me, I will give you a little something for you
    as a sign of gratitude. :)
