You've felt every single one of these emotions before. The bowl filling up until it runs over. That happy impatience the night before a trip. The melting feeling when a tiny puppy is waiting outside the boulangerie for its human. English makes you build a whole sentence to describe them. French just hands you the word.
In this video, I'm sharing six French words for feelings that don't translate into English, from le ras-le-bol to l'insouciance, with examples of how they actually sound in real conversations. Once you know them, you'll start hearing them everywhere. Ă trĂšs vite !

At Comme une Française, we specialize in everyday spoken French. We focus on three unique aspects that are different from school French, self-study books, Duolingo, etc:
1. We focus only on the specifics of speaking/understanding/being understood in everyday French and have unique ways to help you learn it properly & faster.
2. We focus on shortcuts to help you make progress faster, which also means we tell you exactly what you can stop learning to prioritize whatâs really important.
3. We use French culture as the subject to make it fun and interesting for adults.
Take care and stay safe.
