In a few days' time on July 14th it will be Bastille Day, also known as the National Day Of France, so to celebrate, this week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog features a quick French lesson teaching you how to say 32 words in French.
Even if you're not very good at learning new languages, I guarantee you should have no problem memorising the following French words...
English French
ambulance = l'ambulance
animal = l'animal
biscuit = le biscuit
bracelet = le bracelet
centre = le centre
certain = certain
chance = la chance
difference = la difference
direction = la direction
distance = la distance
garage = le garage
guide = le guide
horrible = horrible
impossible = l'impossible
international = international
message = le message
million = le million
monument = le monument

police = la police
portable = portable
president = le president
sauce = la sauce
simple = simple
table = la table
train = le train
vase = le vase
village = le village

To round things off, here's a bonus word. Can you guess the French word for computer?
That's right! It's l'ordinateur.
