Why have the french made laws forbidding the use of foreign words?

They have not. They have laws to make sure the French government in its official documents uses French as far as possible, as French is the language of France, but there are no laws that forbid the use of foreign words.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The French Académie française, regarded as theofficial custodians of the French language resists the addition of new foreign words (especially those coming from English) to the language. The French have a high regard for their own culture and I think they feel threatened by the global adoption of English as a prefered second language. The Academy is entrusted with protecting French from "Anglo-Saxon" attacks and writing an official dictionary. An example of what they do is come to up with French equivalents to unwanted English words that slip into French - for example turning "email" into "courriel".


Is Saying Bad words possible?

It depends on what you mean by "possible." If you mean "is it a good thing to do?" the answer is usually no. In fact, if you are young, you will get in trouble for saying certain words. But if you are asking "do people say bad words?" the answer is that many people do, even if they know they should not. The truth is that every language has bad words, and there have been bad words throughout history. People were always told not to say these words, but at one time or other, many people did say them. There used to be laws against swearing or cursing, but today saying bad words is not against the law-- it's just considered rude in a number of circumstances. You would not want to say bad words to your teacher or during a job interview, for example.
