It's a beautiful city. Easy to get around by metro. You can get salads with goat cheese -- melted goat cheese -- it's like this salad with croutons and..melted goat cheese. And the champagne is cheaper than water! That's not true. But as you're planning your trip you might be thinking "I don't speak French!" Maybe not. Maybe your a French aficionado. So you have to learn their language. Or at least a few words. And so I thought I'd give a mini lesson Because really, you really only need one word. I know what you're thinking One word? It's true. When I share this word with you, this word is magical. It is magical. It has unicorns exploding from it. It is THE magical word that you can put in any type of situation and you're good to go. Maybe not any. MOST situations . 99.5% of the situations you can put this word and you're good to go. Are you ready? I'm hesitant at the same time because this word is powerful, I mean -- Let's just get to it : PUTAIN. Pu - tain. It literally means whore. But, not litterally, means everything else. Don't believe me? Let's just go through some common tourist phrases that you might say in Paris And use our one magical word : "putain", but change it slightly to fit the situation And you'll see -- it's magical. For example. "Nice to meet you" Tourist phrase #2 : I'm hungry Tourist phrase #3 : I'm lost #4 : We've been walking for awhile. I'm tired #5 : You're really hot #6 : I think I stepped in dog poo #7 : Nice Mexican hat #8 : I think I drank too much champagne #9 : I'm lost! In the jungle! #10 : I found my hedgehog, and you have one, too! #11 : Can you tell me where the bathrooms are? #12 : Oh my god, Becky, look at her butt Tourist phrase #13 : I've become a mime! #14 : Please stop poking me with your spaghetti or I will poke you back Tourist phrase #15 : I'm stuck, and I can't get out #16 : You have now been Rick Rolled Tourist phrase #17 : I've been Lady Gaga -ed. See? Entire language. One word. It's all it takes. French is actually far more easy than you ever thought. Isn't it? French language. One word. Now use it wisely. As I said, it is a magical word. However, magical words can come back on you and backfire. I'm sure I've left some situations out so leave them down below (Like and subscribe) It's kind of like a rare gem that you have to use sparingly or if you use it too much the power will go away
