Learn English vocabulary from French: foie gras, du jour, faux pas…

You might have noticed that English likes to steal words from other languages. Latin, German, Greek, and even French are victims of English theft! In this vocabulary lesson, I will teach you some of the many French words that exist in the English language. I will show you the meaning of words like foie gras, hors d’oeuvre, du jour, faux pas, crème brûlée, café au lait, eau de toilette, and more. These are commonly used by native English speakers even though they are taken from French. I will also demonstrate the correct pronunciation, which may be different than you think.

Good morning or bon matin! I’ve got 10/10. Thanks Ronny for such a funny beginning of my day.
Love your teaching style, sense of humour and materials that you send to us (students). Stay so amazing!

Thank you Ronnie.

Thank you, Ronnie, for this funny lesson!
The “foie gras” can be from duck or goose. In both cases, it’s really delicious but very mistreating for these poor palmipeds who would like to let their liver be quiet. Personally I have not eaten it for years and wish the disappearance of this production.

Hello, eau de toilette, doesn’t say toilette water, toilette means too … Des habits, des vêtements, the clothes. So, it’s mean, perfume for your clothes
