About this episode

Max explores seven French idioms through a guessing game format, revealing their true meanings.

Some French expressions make no sense at all if you take them word for word. In this episode, Max turns seven of them into a guessing game: he gives you the idiom and its literal translation, then you work out what it really means before he tells you. Expect mustard, cabbages and a hair in the hand, and by the end you'll have seven expressions that French speakers genuinely use. ➡️ Click here to watch the video version of this episode . ➡️ Want more tips like these delivered straight to your inbox?
