A double entendre often alludes to an underlying, dirty interpretation of what we've actually said, but according to Heloïse Prieur, French language and culture coach, translator, and founder of Belle Entente, the fact that this expression comes from French says a lot more about the Anglo-American perception of French culture than the reality. She's here to talk about why the French say what they mean and mean what they say. (Most of the time!)

About Us
From one Emily in Paris to another... just speaking French isn't enough to understand the intricacies of the locals, but it's definitely a good place to start. Famously defended by armed "immortals" of the Académie Française (no, we're not making this up) the French language is filled with clues that show interested outsiders what, exactly, makes the French tick.

Each episode, listen in as Emily Monaco and an expert take a deep dive into a word that helps us gain a keener understanding of the French.
