👂🏻Colloquial phrases to listen for:

étouffer = avoir du mal à respirer = to feel suffocated."En portant ce pull trop serré, j'ai l'impression d'étouffer !" (Wearing this tight sweater makes me feel like I'm suffocating!)Fun Fact: French speakers often use this word metaphorically, like feeling suffocated by too much work or a tight schedule - très dramatique, non?

en vrai = dans la réalité = in reality."Tu es beaucoup plus sympa en vrai que sur Internet." (You are much nicer _in reality than on the Internet.)Insider Tip: This phrase is a trendy way to distinguish between the digital world and real life - essential for those Instagram vs reality moments!
