French swear words

The best ways of learning French are:

• learn French in France
• go international: you can learn French in another French language country. Belgium is my country of choice but equally good are Canada and Switzerland: also well known for learning French there.
• try to learn French with a native French speaker (learn French online by chatting or writing emails, or even better: learn French with a French colleague or friend)

French swear words not so rude…

Va voir si j’y suis!

Not a pretty rude French swear word, as you can see it used in an advertisement of a French website.

Learn this French sentence by hearth, as there as very useful words you will need whenever you learn French:

• va : Go, he goes, she goes, it goes
• si : if
• j’ / je : I
• je suis : I am
• y : there

If you have been learning French / Français before, you should know already the expression using "y" :

• Il y a : there is - there are

So the whole French sentence: va voir si j’y suis means : Go see if I am there / Go have a look if I am there…which only a very stupid idiot will do…

Why learn how to speak French when “everybody” speaks English?

French (le français, la langue française-the French language-) is one of the most important Romance languages, outnumbered only by Spanish language and Portuguese language. In 1999 the French language was the 11th most spoken language in the world being spoken by about 77 million people (called Francophones-speak French) as a mother tongue, and by 128 million altogether including second French language speakers. It is an official or administrative language in various communities and organizations (such as the European Union, IOC, United Nations and Universal Postal Union).

Why learn French spelling during a French Course?

French spelling is by no means phonetic. Terminal consonants have often become silent in most French dialects, unless followed by a vowel sound (liaison) or silent altogether (e.g., “et” is never pronounced with the ending “t”). In many words, the “n” and “m” become silent and cause the preceding vowel to become nasalized (i.e. pronounced with the soft palate extended downward so as to cause the air to leave through the nostrils instead of through the mouth). Furthermore, in the French language French words tend to run together when spoken, with ending consonants often being chained to the start of the next word.
