Daily French challenge - jour 57 - for children - learn French phrases you can practise at home

Welcome to your daily French challenge, jour cinquante-sept. Merci, excellent. Today's little phrase is very simple and I think you're gonna love it. In French, when we are relieved about something, we avoid it. I don't know when in English you would say phew, phew. Do you know what we say in French? We say ouf, ouf. Yeah, you can say oh la la, as we've seen before, or much quicker, you say ouf, ouf, ouf, when you sigh a sign of relief. Ouf. A toi. Ouf. Encore. Ouf. Très bien. Now that will make you sound really French. Ouf. And actually, there's nothing more to it. I hope that you won't need to use it too much, but at the same time, often we end up sighing with relief, we're glad something's done, or we've justified in doing something stupid, having a little accident, and then we just go ouf, ouf, ouf, ouf. You do it again. Ouf. Ouf. Très bien. And that's all there is to it. Just practice it. Enjoy what happens in your mouth when you say ouf. Feel the relief. Feel that feeling. Ouf. I'll let you into a little secret. You might not want to use it, but you might hear French people say ouf in a different context. Now, ouf backwards is fou, which means crazy. What I mean is if you put the fa before the ou, it's what we call in French, like saying things backwards. So fou is crazy. And sometimes when people want to say it's crazy, they say it backwards, and they might say ouf. C'est ouf. C'est un truc de ouf. It's crazy, or it's something crazy. They will say ouf, and they don't mean that they're relieved. They just mean that it's, yeah, crazy. Ouf. But the real word to start off with is just a word to say, ah, ah, what a relief. Ouf. But just so you know, in case you spot it. Thanks a lot for watching. Au revoir and enjoying being relieved and saying ouf. At least.
