Not impossible but she is such a public figure I don't think she would want to spoil her image. I mean she has a lot of children fans so....

Get back to you on this ASAP pending a more permanent decision. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Absolutely, I understand completely.

You may be right, I have no authority on the accuracy of this book.

I'm just slightly weary of fully trusting this book for example, it lists that "un type" could be used in place of "un homme".

Also the book is written by somebody named "Geneviéve", which on the back of the books says born and lives in Switzerland, so yea

They actually speak several languages in Switzerland. (mostly German then French and a little Italian) They have their own sort of dialect of these languages because the country is surrounded by the countries that speak them. My aunt told me she felt lost when she went to Switzerland because everybody was speaking a bunch of different languages. But tourism may have something to do with that, seeing as how she was a tourist from Spain

But dont take my word for it, ask Roger Federer

I know that is right... un type is like "a dude."

Stick to that, and some reasonable discretion, and I think we'll be fine.
Edit: I removed a couple of the more risqué ones.

I find things like this necessary to learn. If not for usage, but for avoidance thereof. Say you hear someone say a random phrase, and ask another French/English speaker what it means, and they are offended? Some of these phrases you can learn through subtitling, but they are usually less risque in their second language.
