Words*:
Apart from the usual oui, non, bonjour and merci, learning French adjectives, nouns and verbs would be so very handy in every day conversation. It will massively improve your vocabulary learning a few new words every week.
La Niaque (nee-ya-kah) - Determined attitude, strong willpower
Lucarne (loo-car-n) - Skylight, small window
Douceâtre (doo-sat-rha) - Sickly sweet, when using this adjective for a person, e.g. un homme douceâtre, it would mean a nauseatingly sweet man, a kind of fake sweet.
Pelotonner (pulo-ton-ney) - To curl up, or to huddle up.
Frimousse (fri-moose) - In my dictionary this noun is defined as a "sweet little face" but on the internet it also means an emoticon/smiley.
Bricolage (bree-col-aje) - Do-it-yourself/DIY
* The parts in Italics are the pronunciations of the words
