The French word of the day is: Déconner (slang), meaning to act like an idiot, do something stupid and to mess around.

Today’s French word of the day is: métier (A2 upper beginner), meaning occupation, job and profession.

Interrogation (A2 feminine noun) is an interesting faux ami (false cognate) as it means both quiz/exam as well as interrogation in French.

This Word of the Day lesson explains how to use the A2 level (upper beginner) verb avouer, meaning ‘to admit’ and ‘to confess’.

Today’s lesson covers the A1 beginner level word pourquoi, meaning “why”. Pourquoi combines the two words pour (for) and quoi (what).
