Curious about the advanced English word panache?

In this video, we break down its meaning and explain two ways you can use it in everyday English conversations. Panache refers to style and confidence, and we’ll show you how it can be used in 2 ways:
1. as a personality trait
2. to describe how someone does something

Whether someone has panache or does something with panache, learning this word will help you sound more fluent and engaging.

We’ll use real examples from movies and TV shows, featuring iconic characters like Tony Stark from Iron Man and Jay Gatsby from The Great Gatsby, who both embody panache in their actions and personalities.

We also feature fun clips from Friends, Stephen Colbert, and Lucifer to get you familiar with how the word is used. To make it even easier to remember, we’ll cover a mnemonic at the end: "panache" sounds like "pan ash". Imagine a stylish singer holding a pan of ash—she’s so stylish and confident (i.e. she has so much panache), she makes anything look cool, even holding a pan of ash!
