Cultural Tip

“Ouais” is slang and should be avoided in formal contexts such as business meetings or when speaking to strangers. In France, talking about “le chant” can refer to anything from classical choir singing to modern pop vocal performance, so the exact meaning depends on the surrounding conversation. If you want to sound a bit more polished, replace “ouais” with “oui” or “c’est vrai”.
