5 French words you already know (and 5 that will trick you)

Most English speakers don't realize they already speak more French than they think.


Words you already know:

  • Restaurant — same word, just pronounce it "res-toh-RAHN"

  • Déjà vu — literally "already seen"

  • Entrepreneur — French gave English this one

  • Café — you've been ordering this your whole life

  • Fiancé(e) — straight from French


Words that will trick you (faux amis):

  • Bras — means "arm," not what you're thinking

  • Coin — means "corner," not money

  • Chair — means "flesh," not something you sit on

  • Blessé — means "injured," not "blessed"

  • Attendre — means "to wait," not "to attend"


These false friends trip up every beginner. Inside French Fluency, I break down hundreds of these so you never embarrass yourself in conversation.


Learning French isn't as hard as people make it. You just need the right approach.
