French Classes

French Classes are a great way to learn the French language. However, not everbody can fit the fixed schedule of regular classes into his own busy life. That's why some people have found a valid alternative :

Getting a good book or two that teaches the basics and supplementing this written material with audios. Listening and speaking the language is a must and with French language audio books this works well.

French Kissing Techniques 

French Kiss - How to French Kiss

A french kiss, pull, or snog is a kiss, usually romantic or sexual in nature, in which one participant's tongue touches the other's tongue and usually enters his or her mouth.

Tongue kissing stimulates the lips, tongue, mouth and other sexually aroused areas, which are all areas very sensitive to touch, and the practice is considered to be pleasurable, highly intimate, and sexually arousing. Unlike other forms of kissing (such as brief kisses in greeting or friendship), episodes of tongue kissing may often be prolonged, intense, and passionate.

Studying animal behavior, Thierry Lodé,Thierry Lodé La guerre des sexes chez les animaux, 2006 Eds Odile Jacob, Paris, ISBN 2-7381-1901-8 an evolutionary biologist, argues that the tongue kiss has a real function: to explore the sexual partner's immune system via the saliva.

The exchange of saliva in a tongue kiss may increase the chances of catching an orally transmitted disease, for instance human papillomavirus may be transmitted.http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSTRE54B61920090512

In many parts of the world, 'Tongue kissing', as a public display of affection is discouraged, and may even be regarded as taboo. The 1994 Chinese film Impetuous Fire caused controversy amongst some Chinese viewers for a kiss between Chinese-American actor Tim Chang and actress Sandy Wu.

French Fries 

French-fried potatoes

French fries (North American English, sometimes capitalized), fries, or french-fried potatoes and, in the United Kingdom, chips are thin strips of deep-fried potato. North Americans often refer to any elongated pieces of fried potatoes as fries, while in other parts of the world, long slices of potatoes are sometimes called fries to contrast them with the thickly cut strips, which are often referred to as chips. French fries are known as frites or pommes frites in many parts of Europe, and have names that mean "french potatoes" in others (Icelandic Franskar kartöflur, Finnish Ranskalaiset perunat).
