Ep62 - French Slang 101 - Mastering Con

Welcome back to another episode of the French Blabla podcast!

In the last episode, we tackled two iconic French swear words—or as I prefer, the P-word and M-word. I find them a bit too bold for my taste, and maybe you do too. So, let’s stick to the P-word and M-word to keep the air light.

If you missed that episode, it's definitely worth a listen as it sets the stage perfectly for today's topic. Click here to listen.

Today, we're diving deeper into the realm of curse words in French, focusing on another essential word that, surprisingly, doesn't get as much attention as it deserves.
