French Love Nicknames
Les Petits Noms d'Amour - French Love Nicknames
As in other languages, French has its own little words or names to call a love one. How does calling your wife "My flea" sound to you? It's one of the most popular ones in French!
To enjoy, like, love... to be in love = aimer
To enjoy, like, love... to be in love = aimer
The verb Aimer means a lot of things in French; to like, to enjoy, to love, as well as to be in love. It is very important that you know how to use it correctly so you avoid embarrassing mistakes.
Les Mots d'Amour
"Les Mots d'Amour" de Bénabar - song
In this song, famous contemporary singer "Bénabar" talks about the French love nicknames I described in my earlier post. He is making fun of them, so you need to take the lyrics with a grain of salt, not all the nicknames he uses are real.
Une Histoire d'Amour Sans Fin
Judy et Moi - Une Histoire d'Amour Sans Fin with Audio
For homework, I asked Frank to describe how he met his wife. The paper turned out to be so charming that we decided to share it with you.
Têtes à claques
"Têtes à claques" La St Valentin - video
"Têtes à Claques" (someone I'd like to slap) is a Canadian show that I love. I've used it many times with students who wanted to better their understanding of Canadian French. The show pushes the accent to the max, and mixes in a lot of English words: not an example of the finest Canadian French!
