Funny French Sayings Biography
Source:- Google.com.pkOne of the most endearing aspects of the French language is its softness and musical sound. It keeps away from the guttural harshness of German, or the sing-song of Italian, and it sure doesn’t expect you to roll your ‘r’s like the Spaniards. To non-native French speakers it sounds poetic, soulful and romantic, but in reality the conversation could be laden with expletives. You may have met the stereotypical French waiter muttering words like idiot, imbecile or cretin, or you associate French humor with Inspector Clouseau and his antics. In French, tête is head, nez is nose, oreilles is ears and doigts des pied is feet fingers (read: toes)! If you thought that was funny, think again!
