GENERAL INFO

Façon (f.) means "way," "manner," or "fashion." It describes *how* something is done or presented.

USAGE

It's common in phrases like "de cette façon" (in this way/manner), "d'une certaine façon" (in a certain way), "de toute façon" (anyway/in any case), and "à ma façon" (my way).

TRAPS

Do not confuse façon with "fois" (meaning "time," as in 'one time, two times'). Also, "façon de parler" means "figure of speech," not literally "a way to speak."
