    About this series

    • 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 !

      The French language is full of idioms. We love to create new idioms every day, and colors can be used to express everything! There are so many idioms and when working on this book I was surprised how much we use every day. I only picked 60% of the actual number of idioms that exist with colors. Because I wanted this list to be practical and useful for everyday spoken French, I picked the ones that I hear more often and I didn't select the ones that are too formal. It means that when you will use them you will not sound like a book! In this book you will find 130 French expressions with meaning and examples. I hope you will enjoy it!

      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. For example "langue de vipère" refers to the way some people talk (gossip). However some expression are not that clear. For example "se faire de la bile", is related to internal organs (liver). According to old western medicine and traditional chinese medicine, each vital organ is linked to an emotion. Nowadays, the relation seem far although it might be justified to some point. Then, all idioms are born in different times. Some old idioms are still used, as other die. Because I wanted this list to be practical and useful for everyday spoken French, I selected the ones that I hear more often and I dropped the ones that are too formal or not used anymore. It means that when you will use them you will not sound like a book!

      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 !
