My name is David Issokson. Since the beginning of 2014 I’ve helped hundreds of students to learn French through my online lessons.

Over the years I’ve noticed a trend that we all seem to make the same mistakes.

Indeed, these mistakes are universal. One of the single most imporant things that we can do is French learners is try to nip these errors in the bud early on during our learning.

I’ve actually made a list of over 100 beginner mistakes. In this article I’m going to list out the most common mistakes and show you how you can correct them.

On this page you will find a list of the most common French slang (argot) words you can use in everyday conversation. I have handpicked these words based on a lifelong experience speaking French. Knowing French slang has lots of advantages including:

• Discovering the richness of the language and not just being stuck using boring textbook French;
• Dramatically improving listening comprehension being able to understand French TV shows and movies;
• Being able to impress native speakers when you can throw out a few slang words in conversations.
