Greeting Hello in French : Bonjour, Salut, Bonsoir + Cultural Tips

 Bonjour mes chers étudiants de français,

En ce moment, il y a du vent (wind) à Paimpol. Voici quelques expressions utiles:
- Le vent souffle fort. (traditional way to say the wind blows strongly)
- Quel vent ! (it's so windy)
- Il y a un vent à décorner les boeufs (idiom : Lit. a wind so strong it breaks the horns out of a cow)
- Il fait/il y a un sacré zef aujourd’hui (le zef is a strong wind)
- Oh la la, ça décoiffe (expression used a lot: the wind is so strong it will mess up your hair)

Voici les articles que j'ai écrits récemment pour French.About.com. (Here are the articles I recently wrote for French.About.com.)
