🇫🇷 In French, we don’t say “I’m starving”… we say “J’ai la dalle!” 🤤

“J’ai la dalle” is a very informal French expression that means “I’m starving” or “I’m really hungry.” It’s perfect for everyday conversations with friends!

🍽️ Hungry for more French expressions? Here are a few alternatives:
✨ J’ai super faim ! – I’m really hungry!
🥐 Je meurs de faim ! – I’m dying of hunger!
😋 J’ai une faim de loup ! – I’m as hungry as a wolf!

Ready to sound more like a native French speaker? 🇫🇷✨

Our Fall 2 session starts Monday, October 19! There’s still time to join us, learn new expressions, and build your confidence in French.

Sign up today and let’s get you speaking French! https://www.afdallas.org/learn-french/adult/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=fall-term_2026-10-17
