in #French when you have a female cat, you usually say “J’ai un CHAT” and not “j’ai une CHATTE” because “chatte” is, like in english, a way to say “pussy” 🙀

Literally "What is this bastard's spicy sausage"
This #frenchmeme went viral because of the funny caption. Now you can add "de salopard" after any object and use it as a caption for a picture with a unusually big thing.

Here are 5 ways of saying “What’s up ?” in #French :
Ça va ?
Ça va ou quoi ?
Bien ?
Tranquille ?
Ça dit quoi ?

Have you heard some of them ?

[Prof Emile @EmileProf15051]

Is it true that #french people eat snails and frogs ?
Yes.
Snails are a lot more common than frogs though, and it is mainly on special occasions (like Christmas)

[Prof Emile @EmileProf15051]

Other ways to say “il pleut” in #french (from the most normal to the most crude):
-il fait moche
-il fait pas beau
-il fait un sale temps
-il fait un temps de chien
-il fait un temps de merde

[Prof Emile @EmileProf15051]

Here are some of the most famous #books that #french kids read in the 90s 2000s:
Petit Ours Brun (Danièle Bour)
Martine (Gilbert Delahaye and Marcel Marlier)
Arc-en-ciel (Marcus Pfister)
Chien Bleu (Nadja)

@Tambouildu13 😅😅😅😅

[Prof Emile @EmileProf15051]

The two main grammatical tenses to talk about the past in #french are passé composé and imparfait. You may have heard about passé simple but it is used only when writing and sounds very formal.

[Prof Emile @EmileProf15051]

Most words become feminine by adding an "e" at the end and it changes pronunciation:
petit → petite (you hear the "t" now)
français → française (you hear a “z” in the end)
BUT sometimes the "e" changes nothing:
jeune → jeune (no changes)
énervé → énervée (same pronunciation)

[Prof Emile @EmileProf15051]

To put anything else than marmelade (or chocolate) in a #croissant is considered a crime by a lot of #french people.

[Prof Emile @EmileProf15051]

In spoken #French you will here often other words to replace “très” (=very):

Trop (very common)
Tarpin (in Marseille)
Gavé (in Bordeaux)
Cher (in Lyon)

Do you know other ones ?

[Prof Emile @EmileProf15051]

@Tambouildu13 Great one ! Love it ! 🤍💙

[Prof Emile @EmileProf15051]

I think singing is one of the best way to start practicing pronunciation.
What is your favorite #french song ?

So yes — French spelling is beautiful, full of history and poetry…
but it’s also a mirror of hierarchy.
It reflects centuries of class, education, and power.

Each silent letter whispers:

“Knowledge used to be a privilege.”

[Prof Emile @EmileProf15051]

Why French spelling is so hard — and why it’s not an accident.

If you’ve ever wondered why eau means “o” or why beaucoup needs six letters to say “boh-koo”…

It’s not just tradition.
French spelling was designed to be complex — and that choice was political. 👇

[Prof Emile @EmileProf15051]

Every time modernizing French spelling is suggested, debates explode.

“L’écriture inclusive” — making French grammar less masculine and more neutral.

People say:

“You’re destroying culture!”

But often, they really mean:

“You’re redefining who belongs — and who doesn’t.”
