In this deck, we'll learn some common fixed phrases that are essential for everyday spoken French. These are chunks you should memorise as a whole, as they will make you sound much more natural. Let's start with a phrase to say something is worthwhile.

To say that something is 'worth it' or 'worth the effort', you can use the common expression 'Ça vaut le coup'. For example: 'Ce musée est incroyable, ça vaut le coup de le visiter', meaning 'This museum is incredible, it's worth visiting'.

When you're fed up with a situation, you can express this strongly with 'J’en ai marre'. It's a very common way to say 'I've had enough' or 'I'm sick of it'. For instance: 'J'en ai marre de ce bruit', means 'I'm fed up with this noise'.

To talk about something you find difficult to do, use the phrase 'J’ai du mal à' followed by a verb. For example, 'J’ai du mal à comprendre cet accent' means 'I have difficulty understanding this accent'.
