  • 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.

This word is frequently used in daily conversations across France, yet it seems to fly under the radar in language learning materials. Let’s shine a spotlight on it and explore how it can be used in casual settings without any fuss. And before we dive in, a quick shout out to our sponsor, Lingopie.
