Hello future bilingual babes of the internets! So many of you have written me on Insta asking about my French language journey and if I would drop a French language/French slang video. So today I'm giving you a little French lesson on how to use French slang words, "cool" French phrases and expressions in actual conversation like a native French person would!! There are tons more but this is the list of the ultimate French slang you need to know! I put the subtitles in French and in English so you can copy the phrases directly and reuse them in your own French conversations. I also aimed to use real life example and just tried to have fun with this :)
To be honest, most of this vocabulary and learning to sound French comes from living in Paris for the last four years and putting myself out there in language exchanges, so don't be afraid to just go for it if you really want to achieve French fluency.
I'm also going to be talking to y'all about the special French slang called "verlan" which is really fun to use but challenging!
I am obviously American so I still make mistakes, but I learned how to speak colloquial French and sound French by speaking it everyday (I speak French at home, at school and on the street) I am completely self taught in French (see my video on how I learned French) and never took any formal classes at a language school (I would consider myself bilingual C1, C2 level for the DELF/TCF test) so my speaking is about 150 times better than my writing, so if I made any mistakes be nice :)
Here is a list of some of the phrases and words I used in the video:
"grave", "kiffe", "wesh", "meuf", "j'ai le flemme", "je suis rincé", il m'a carotté", "je suis vénère", "chelou", "oim", "bof"
and here are some links of more French slang (argot):
I hope you enjoyed and don't forget to like and subscribe! bisous
