Hey there, future Francophones!

In this edition of our newsletter, we'll be stirring your French vocabulary right up with a laugh-out-loud joke and some really cool new words.

banque

In French, 'banque' refers to a financial institution that accepts deposits, lends money and offers related financial services. It is used in the same context as the English word 'bank'. For example, 'Je vais Ă  la banque' means 'I am going to the bank'.

Here's how to use it:

  • J'ai ouvert un compte Ă  la banque hier.
  • La banque m'a refusĂ© un prĂȘt.
  • J'ai oubliĂ© mon code de carte bancaire, donc je dois aller Ă  la banque pour le rĂ©initialiser.

aujourd'hui

The French equivalent for the English word 'today' is 'aujourd'hui'. It is used in the same context to refer to the current day. For example, 'Je vais Ă  la plage aujourd'hui' translates to 'I am going to the beach today'. This word is typically used in everyday conversation and written language.

Here's how to use it:

  • Aujourd'hui, je vais apprendre quelque chose de nouveau.
  • La rĂ©union est prĂ©vue pour aujourd'hui.
  • C'est l'anniversaire de maman aujourd'hui.

sang

The word 'sang' is used in French just like the word 'blood' in English. It represents the red liquid that circulates in the arteries and veins of humans and other vertebrate animals, carrying oxygen to and carbon dioxide from the tissues of the body. The word can be used in a variety of contexts, such as medical discussions, literature, and idiomatic expressions.

Here's how to use it:

  • Le vampire avait soif de sang.
  • Le sang est rouge.
  • Le navire a Ă©tĂ© baptisĂ© dans le sang.

mouvement

The French word for 'movement' is 'mouvement'. It is often used in similar contexts as in English, including physical movement or action, or a change or development. For example, in the sentence 'Le mouvement de la danseuse était gracieux', it means 'The dancer's movement was graceful'.

Here's how to use it:

  • Le mouvement de ses mains Ă©tait rapide.
  • J'ai remarquĂ© un mouvement suspect dans la ruelle.
  • Il est essentiel de connaitre le mouvement de la circulation avant de conduire.

expérience

The French word 'expérience' translates to 'experience' in English. It can be used in various contexts such as work experience ('expérience de travail') or life experience ('expérience de vie'). Like in English, it can refer to the knowledge or skill gained over time, or an event or occurrence which leaves an impression. However, it is also important to know the context it is used in as it could also mean experiment, as in a scientific experiment.

Here's how to use it:

  • J'ai beaucoup appris de cette expĂ©rience.
  • Il a tirĂ© des leçons importantes de cette expĂ©rience.
  • Sa vaste expĂ©rience dans le domaine lui donne un avantage.
