French Too Rude for Class

Hugo

Learn rude French words you hear but should not misuse. Adult learners who want to understand profanity they hear in films and bars — not to harass, but to not blunder. This is a practical French lesson podcast for English speakers: short real-life situations, French phrases with phonetic spelling, what natives actually mean, register tips, and when a safer alternative is better. Episodes are hosted in English with real French examples — not a dry textbook lecture. Each episode helps you understand film and bar profanity — and safer alternatives when you need them. Audio for this show is produced with AI assistance. Episodes are researched, scripted, and reviewed for accuracy before release.
