I learned about a YouTube channel called “What the F*** France” a while back. It has that use both French and English. When English is being spoken, the videos have French subtitles and vice-versa. Those videos are entertaining and might put a more fun side to your French learning.

Warning: the videos do contain swearing, also keep that in mind when using vocabulary acquired in those videos

I highly recommend watching the videos if you are learning French and don’t mind swearing :D

Hello :)

Je suis l’être le plus mignon à jamais exister et je rends les gens très heureux.

Hello,

a way you can improve your listening skills is to watch movies that you already know in French (as a first step you can watch them with subtitles and then at a later stage without). Another way is by watching Youtube videos in French or by listening to French music (with the music you could have a look at the lyrics).

Bonjour,

désolée d’avoir pris tant de temps pour répondre mais j’étais en vacances.

“Émission” est litéralement “ce qui est transmit” (Le Petit Robert) mais est généralement utilisé pour décrire les différents “shows” à la télé. Par exemple:

”Le téléjournal commence à quelle heure?” “L’émission commence à 19:30.”

Le “programme” désigne l’ensemble d’émissions d’une chaîne.

J’espère que ceci est utile!

Merci pour la question et désolée pour le retard! Maintenant je suis plus en vacances donc je vais pouvoir répondre à des questions plus vite :)

Hi!

Thank you very much for adding this! I checked out the app and it looks really good.

The app helps you improve your vocabulary and your reading and listening comprehension. So it seems to cover a few different aspects.

So I recommend that those interested in learning or consolidating their French check out Lingvist.

Thank you @jussake!! Have a nice day!

Bonjour :)

Cool that you want to learn French! Learning French without a course is rather hard but you can do it with determination :). If I were you, I would buy an introductory grammar book with exercises and a vocabulary book and work on those two things in parallel whilst consolidating your knowledge with duolingo. Once you have acquired some vocabulary, I would listen to songs, YouTube videos, etc. so that you practise understanding the spoken language.

Most important thing: try to practise your French regularly and even if you don’t advance as quickly as you’d like to: don’t give up!

I hope that helped :), don’t hesitate to ask me in case you have some other questions

Salut :)

I am incredibly sorry for not having been active for a very long time :(, exams and travels took up a lot of my time.

I was wondering if I could ask you for a favour. I am currently working on a linguistics paper for a seminar and to be able to write it I need answers to a survey. The survey will of course be anonymous. However, by participating you are allowing me to use your answers for the paper.

Here is the link to the survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdzZnAwmUYrId9Eu67ucodVGLp6IFW8ooHUx1i4qE5C4lsCUQ/viewform

Could you please fill it out and maybe reblog it? I would really appreciate that!!

Merci beaucoup!!

Salut :)

“avoir l’air” est une expression un peu bizarre. La majorité du temps, l’adjectif s’accorde avec le sujet, donc: Elle a l’air fâchée. Par contre, il y a des instances où l’auteur d’une phrase veut souligner “l’air” qu’une personne a. Dans ce cas, on peut dire: Elle a l’air fâché. Ceci est plutôt l’exception et est plutôt employé ainsi dans des contextes littéraires.

Alors, pour résumer, on peut utiliser des adjectifs féminins après avoir l’air si le sujet est féminin (singulier ou pluriel: elle a l’air fâchée, elles ont l’air fâchées). On peut toujours utiliser l’adjectif sous sa forme masculine du singulier après avoir l’air mais quand on fait ceci l’énoncé est stylistiquement marqué.

N’hésite pas à me recontacter si tu as d’autres questions :)

Hello :)

I am sorry that it took me so long to answer.

personally, I would say “vous aurez ce que vous voulez bientôt” (which corresponds to your first option just without the “très” because otherwise in English it would be “sometime very soon”).

Hello :)

it depends if you mean the literal or metaphorical meaning of ‘a rose is still a rose’

If you mean the literal meaning, then ‘une rose est toujours une rose’ is correct.

However, if you mean the metaphorical meaning (aka something like it is as it is), the translation would rather be something like ‘c’est comme ça’ or ‘c’est la vie’.

Hi :)

these two expressions can be difficult for some learners because they are translated as the same thing ‘to see you’.

In French, you use a different grammatical person when talking to a person you don’t know to when you talk to a person you know.

You would use ‘vous voir’ if you are talking to your teacher, someone you do not know, or more generally someone you have a certain distance to.

You would use ‘te voir’ when talking to your family and friends. You can also use it with someone you have just met (e.g. classmate) but usually when you meet a new adult you would use vous.

Hello :)

there is not really an easy way to study for French exams.

The best way I think is to learn which e.g. verbs are regular and which aren’t (since this is usually a big component of French exams). It is important that you know the regular conjugations by heart (try to find patterns within them; this makes it easier).

Expanding your vocabulary is also good if you have to write your own sentences and it’s useful for your French skills in general ;). One way of doing that would be to read (either read texts in your textbook that you have not read in class or read books).

Solving exercises is another way to remember and simultaneously learn how to apply grammar so these can be quite useful too.
