Example: "Couper la poire en deux" (to meet halfway) uses the image of cutting a pear in half to represent compromise.

Highlight: Natural elements like wood and plants feature prominently in French idioms, reflecting the culture's connection to nature.

Quote: "Tirer les marrons du feu" (to be played for a fool) originates from a famous La Fontaine fable.

Page 3: Everyday Objects and Situations

This section covers idioms related to common objects and daily situations, essential for understanding casual French conversation.

Highlight: Many of these expressions remain actively used in modern French, making them particularly valuable for learners.

Vocabulary: "Être sous les verrous" (to be behind bars) demonstrates how literal translations can sometimes match English equivalents.

This page introduces fundamental French idioms related to body parts and animals, essential for basic French conversation. The expressions range from describing influence to personal characteristics.

Example: "Avoir le bras long" (to have influence) literally means "to have a long arm," showing how physical attributes represent social power.

Highlight: Animal-based idioms like "poser un lapin à quelqu'un" (to stand someone up) demonstrate how French uses familiar creatures to express everyday situations.

Vocabulary: "Entre chien et loup" - literally "between dog and wolf," refers to dusk or twilight, showing how natural observations become idiomatic expressions.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

Just amazing. Let's me revise 10x better, this app is a quick 10/10. I highly recommend it to anyone. I can watch and search for notes. I can save them in the subject folder. I can revise it any time when I come back. If you haven't tried this app, you're really missing out.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7.
