French words: chez vous; sang froid

c h e z  moi - my place (at home)
chez soi - one's own place, their own place eg where are they - chez s o i .
chez vous - your place

sang froid - cool (literally blood, cold -calm in the face of difficulty or danger)
il fait froid  - it is cold. The French language uses it makes cold rather than it is cold. The French version is neatly alliterative in French.

I remember froid as freezing, using the letter f as a reminder.
Chaud - warm / hot
il fait chaud - it is hot
chaleur - heat

aidez moi - help me
au secours! - help! (think of it as to secure or to help)

keep calm and carry on - g a r d e z  le c a l m e  et  c o n t i n u e z
