Opis

Do you wonder why an arm is masculine while a leg is feminine? Why your sofa is masculine but your chair is feminine? And why should a person or victim always be feminine, even if the person or victim you're talking about happens to be a man? And isn't it odd that "masculinit" is feminine?

The illogic of French gender can be very frustrating. But after reading this book, if you see words like "croisement, pays, vin, " or "chocolat, " you will instantly know they are masculine, and you will also immediately recognize that words like "ville, facture, maladie, " and "essence" are feminine.
