Book excerpt: This book contains: 400 French expressions with meaning and examples Language has always an interesting way to describe a feeling, a situation, a place. The body idioms are usually quite logical to understand. They refer to the part of the body we use in the situation we want to describe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 170 French expressions with nature + meaning and examples A big part of France is covered with nature, and many expressions are inspired by nature. We can say that most of nature idioms are about the elements (feu, vent, eau, terre) but also related to agriculture (À tout bout de champ, en faire tout un foin). Nature idioms include expressions about weather, but also about flowers, wood, grass, etc. Some expressions also come from the influence of the sea and mountain (faire des vagues, en faire une montagne). These idioms are used on a daily basis by French natives, and sometimes they are the reason foreigners don’t catch the meaning of a sentence,—Why is this guy suddenly talking about a bambou?—thus they are also the tool that you can use to sound more French. Using expressions makes your speech more interesting, but poetic and sometimes more fun and catchy! I sorted the most relevant, to give the idioms that you might hear the most in France. You will find that some of them can be used in the medias and newspapers, but most of them are used in daily spoken French ! Try to use them, vous allez faire un tabac !

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 330 French expressions about animals + meaning and example The French language is full of idioms and our daily life is full of animals. No wonder we have so many idioms about animals in French ! Animals are part of the daily life of French people and of course you will find a lot about pets (dogs, cats,…) but also about Animals that we traditionally raise and feed in French agriculture like cows, chicken, sheep, pigs. We also have strong and scary animals that appears in fairy tales like wolves, bears, and also birds like eagle. These animals all have their own characteristics and they can sometimes apply to someone’s attitude, character or physical appearance. In my opinion, animal idioms are the most fun to use. They can often bring a humorous part in the conversation, and the image is strong and easy to remember. Although there are a lot of French proverbs with animals (hundreds of them), this book is about idioms that we can adapt to the context. However I chose to include some proverbs that are still good to know, like Les chiens ne font pas des chats and Qui vole un œuf, vole un bœuf. I sorted the most relevant, to give the idioms that you might hear the most in France. You will find that some of them can be used in the medias and newspapers, but most of them are used in daily spoken French ! Have fun !

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dictionary of English and French Idioms: Illustrating, by Phrases and Examples, the Peculiarities of Both Languages, and Designed as a Supplement to the Ordinary Dictionaries Now in Use As this volume has been prepared especially with the view of enabling the American to translate his own language into grammatical, idiomatical, written and colloquial French, and of rendering it equally useful for the library, the parlor, and the counting-house, as well as the school-room, such phrases have been selected in preference as relate to literature, the fine arts, and commerce, besides conversational expressions, and terms of etiquette in established use. These have been carefully classified and translated into French, according to the rules of Grammar and the usage of polite society; in such cases, when the sense is liable to be affected by the context or circumstances, the translation is made in as many forms or synonymous expressions as are necessary to illustrate the various shades of meaning in which the term may occur.
