French swear words

Learn French in the car would be the name of the CD to buy if you have a car and want to learn French. Penton Overseas is said to have a good set of 9CD’s.

yet again I can imagine you don’t want to spend too much money to start with, because you need to know if studying French in the car really works for you.

For me it works perfectly as I only have to switch on a French channel and I can practice my French listening skills on the go.

this of course isn’t that inviting for beginners so for people that are starting out I have 3 suggestions:

1. Buy the cheapest Learn French in the car CD you can find.

Go to your better bookstore and buy a CD that says: Learn French in the car.

These kind of courses are especially made to be used without a textbook, which means that you can listen to what is said and are given time to repeat. I can hear you thinking: "but then I am buying a CD that’s half empty and on top of that they will be speaking my language and the French language.

Both true the CD’s I have listened to so far have an English instructor introducing you on the CD how to listen and learn French in your car:

• they read a French phrase and ask you to repeat
• they read an English phrase, ask you to translate, give you a pause to do so, then only give their French translation and again give you a pause so you can repeat their French phrase.

It’s a real effective parrot kind of way to effectively learn French in the car..

2. Learn French in the car with music

Go to your music shop and ask for French music CD’s. Go and listen to the CD’s before you buy them for 3 reasons:

1. do you like what you hear? (what you don’t like will never teach you French!)
2. does the French music come with the lyrics (otherwise it will be a pain to really understand what they are saying in French, unless you have a high level of the French language already
3. can you sing along with the French song having the lyrics in hand? If not, you need to find a singer that sings slower (rappers most likely talk way too fast in French…)

3. Learn French in the car for free

Download French Music from our website (comes with the lyrics) , download our free French lessons or if you are patient: download all the audio we already put on our learn French website.

Even better: download all the French you can find from the Internet on your iPod or MP3 player and you are ready to go and learn French in the car for free.

You most likely know the song Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir? And most likely you didn’t know it was written like this…

Main thing is that this French phrase could be stuck in your brain and that’s where you need to capitalize on!

Lot’s of people don’t remember any of the French words they learned in school due to a lack of practice. If that’s the case with you as well, then you could opt to listen to French music.

We downloaded a few French songs there, included one of Celine Dion (oh yes, she is a French speaking Canadian and to be frank before she got famous with her English songs, she was oh so proud to be able to sing in French in stead of English… that’s long before she became a Las Vegas girl, we would advice her now to try the Moulin Rouge …)

Talking of Moulin Rouge: "coucher" translates in English to sleep, so if you didn’t get the hint just listing to the music: this French song Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir is quite… well… for adults

But it carries a lot of useful every day French words in it, so it will pay off if you listen to the song over and over until you remember the title by heart:

• Soir means evening and is commonly used in the greeting Bonsoir. You don’t need translation software to know that it means: good evening.
• Voulez-vous… translates to "Do you want…" and will be heard a lot in the sentence asking: what do you want: "Qu’est-ce que vous voulez? Click the link if you want to practice how to pronounce French words 

Whatever you do: if you don’t want to end up in any stranger’s bed, don’t go to France singing Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir in the streets
