Description ▲
Even if you've diligently learned all your verb conjugations, memorized French vocabulary, and successfully navigated the subjunctive tense, you still won't speak French like the natives. Leave it to David Burke and Street French Slang to fill in the gaps. Want to know 50 different ways to say someone's drunk? How about some entertaining expressions for "bald" ("He doesn't have any more alfalfa on the high plateaus.")? The idioms, colloquialisms, proverbs, and vulgarities contained in Street French Slang may not endear you to polite society, but they'll certainly enhance your comprehension of everyday French speech. The book even comes with a handy summary of popular French gestures so you'll be sure to know what's being said even when nothing is.
