Bell Ringer:Foreign Words Review and Introduce New

à propos regarding/concerning

adieu lit. "to God"; farewell; ("goodbye," literally "until re-seeing"). It is definitive, implying you will never see the other person again. Depending on the context, misuse of this term can be considered as an insult, as one may wish for the other person's death or say that you do not wish to see the other person ever again while alive. It is used for au revoir in the south of France[2] and to denote a deprivation from someone or something.

amateur a person attached to a particular pursuit, study, or science in a non-professional or unpaid manner.

au gratin "with gratings", anything that is grated onto a food dish. In English, specifically 'with cheese'.

au pair a young foreigner who does domestic chores in exchange for room and board. au revoir! "See you later!" In French (to the pleasure of seeing you again). avant-garde (pl. avant-gardes) applied to cutting-edge or radically innovative movements in art, music and literature; figuratively "on the edge," literally, a military term, meaning "vanguard" (which is a corruption of avant-garde) or "advance guard," in other words, "first to attack"
