An anon asked if I had a masterpost on French books, and I didn’t, so I think it’s high time to make one! Now, I’m not a native and I’d never dare express any judgement on the level of difficulty in the language of the following works of literature, as I haven’t read them all, so I won’t even attempt to divide them in coherent categories. I hope this will be of some use to you all anyway!
Where to find them
ebooksgratuits.com: exactly as its name eloquently states, this website provides a great deal of well-known French books for free. Most of the classics are covered.
Gallica: digital library of the Bibliothèque nationale de France. Probably not the best resource if you’re looking for the latest best-seller, but great for rare and unusual documents.
Project Gutenberg: the well-known online archive also has a French section.
Children’s literature (I guess?)
Children’s books forever: small collection of works aimed at young children.
Le petit Nicolas: only the first of a series of books narrating the adventures of schoolboy Nicolas and his friends and family.
Le petit prince: let’s not dwell on the age-long question ‘is it actually a children’s book’ and enjoy the poetic beauty of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s work.
L’œil du loup: I read it in Italian a long time ago, and I remember being really moved by it. Daniel Pennac truly is a master.
Classics
Bel-Ami (Guy de Maupassant)
Candide (Voltaire)
L’Etranger (Albert Camus)
Madame Bovary (Gustave Flaubert)
Les Misérables [1][2][3][4][5] (Victor Hugo)
Le rouge et le noir (Stendhal)
Le tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours (Jules Verne)
Les trois mousquetaires (Alexandre Dumas)
Contemporary (more or less)
[I couldn’t find any free versions for most of these]
Au bonheur des ogres (Daniel Pennac)
L’élégance du hérisson (Muriel Barbery)
Rue des Boutiques Obscures (Patrick Modiano)
Zazie dans le métro (Raymond Queneau)
Bandes Dessinées
[you could argue they’re not ‘regular’ books but I think they can be pretty useful anyway]
Astérix le Gaulois [first comic]
Tintin [first album]
Popular books translated
The first 4 of the Harry Potter series
The Fault in our Stars
Hunger Games
More could definitely be added, but I’m running out of time so that’s it for now :)
polyglot-studyblr’s guide to French numbers for English speakers:
I have recently found myself teaching French numbers a lot, so I thought I should make a wee text post with what I hope is a straightforward explanation of how French numbers work. Remember I’m not a native speaker of French, but I’ve been studying and teaching it for a long time.
Numbers 1 - 20
there’s nothing too fancy about these, it’s just a case of learning them unfortunately! These are the basic numbers…
1 - un
2 - deux
3 - trois
4 - quatre
5 - cinq
6 - six
7 - sept
8 - huit
9 - neuf
10 - dix
11 - onze
12 - douze
13 - treize
14 - quatorze
15- quinze
16 - seize
17 - dix-sept
18 - dix-huit
19 - dix-neuf
20 - vingt
Numbers 20-70
notice how from 17 onwards the number takes a new form? For example, 17 is written as 10-7. This is the structure that French numbers use above 20. So for example: 21 - vingt-et-un 22 - vingt-deux 23 - vingt-trois etc… take note that the word for 21 uses the French word ‘and’, making the number 20-and-1, but no other variant uses that. So for 22, we just say 20-2. and so on and so forth: 30 - trente 31 - trente-et-un 35 - trente-cinq 40 - quarante 41 - quarante-et-un 45 - quarante-cinq 50 - cinquante 51 - cinquante-et-un 55 - cinquante-cinq 60 - soixante 61 - soixante-et-un 65 - soixante-cinq
STOP! This is where it gets intense… Numbers 70 - 79
Unfortunately this is the point where French numbers decide that it’s time to test out your mathematics skills. Good luck with this! 70 - soixante-dix as you can see, the number for 70 is literally 60-10. This applies to all the numbers in the ‘70′ bracket. For example:
72 - soixante-douze 60 + 12 78 - soixante-dix-huit 60 + 10 + 8
Numbers 80-89
Do you think you’re following it? Time to change it up again! How are your multiplication skills? 80 - quatre-vingt The number for 80 is literally 4-20. So you may want to think of 80 as being ‘4 x 20′. For your numbers in between, just add on the extra numbers!
82 - quatre-vingt-deux 4 x 20 + 2 88 - quatre-vingt-huit 4 x 20 + 8
Numbers 90-99
Lucky for you, these numbers work very similarly to the 70s…. 90 - quatre-vingt-dix Here we are adding 10 to our number for 80. So 90 = 4 x 20 +10. And so on and so forth!
92 - quatre-vingt-douze or literally, 4 x 20 + 12 98 - quatre-vingt-dix-huit or literally, 4 x 20 + 10 + 8
100s, 1 000s, and 1 000 000s!
Here are the words for some of the larger numbers… 100 - cent (hundred) 1 000 - mille (thousand) 1 000 000 - million (million) 1 000 000 000 - milliard (billion) all of these are simply added on to the start of your number! Here are some examples… 130 - cent-trente 100 + 30 450 - quatre-cent-cinquante 4 x 100 + 50 1975 - mille-neuf-cent-soixante-quinze 1000 + (9x100) + 60 + 15 2015 - deux-mille-quinze (2 x 1000) + 15
I hope that this has been able to help some of you who have been struggling with French numbers. Feel free to drop me a message if you still do not understand, or if you think I have made a mistake somewhere! Good luck!

tag yourself
aquiver (quivering, trembling): headphones on full volume, cold winter breeze, nervous glances, desperately trying to live life to the fullest, to-do lists and journals, daydreaming, missed opportunities and wanting to prove onself
mellifluous (sweet, smooth, pleasing to hear sound): dried flowers, morning rays of sunshine, eloquent sentences, waiting for a sign, mythology and fairytales, sucker for aesthetics, Polaroid pictures and old architecture
hiraeth (a homesickness for a home you can’t return to, or that never was): neon lights, airports and gas stations at night, either being extremely private or always oversharing, the adrenaline of winning arguments, marble and ice
limerence (the state of being infatuated with another person): long eye contact, staying up until 3 am, wanting to pick a random train and get away, being described as “out of it”, sitting in a car just to finish listening to that song, fatalist humour
syzygy (an alignment of celestial bodies): never being fully satisfied, inferiority superiority complex, overthinking, reading 5 books at once, dark academia, late night conversations, “is this all there is?”
ephemeral (lasting a very short time): chasing the feeling of being alive, laughing and crying at once, wishing to be a mermaid, saying “I don’t care” very caringly, either writing really long answers or just “ok”
vellichor (the strange wistfulness of used bookshops): googling random trivia in the middle of the night, being extremely enthusiastic but never actually finishing the project, poems and pretty words, caring too much, never having enough book marks

How to start!
Make some coffee/ tea / snack.
Instead of spending hours procrastinating on your phone, watch a motivational video while you eat.
Tidy your study space, get rid of dishes, mugs and anything that isn´t study related. Leave your glass of water.
Go wash your face with cold water.
Check time.
Turn off your phone and computer. If your study material is there, turn the wifi off.
Study.
Take a short break. (Go to the toilet, refill your glass, stretch, open a window, listen to music, talk to someone, call your mom, etc)
Follow this sequence four times.
Take a long break. (Get another snack, watch a motivational video, go on a short walk, read a book, do some yoga, take a shower, go outside, doodle, post something on tumblr, take a nap or whatever you´d like to do. DO NOT WATCH A TV SHOW YOU ARE NOT GOING TO STOP AND YOU KNOW IT PUNK. Also, make it so that your break doesn´t last longer that 25 minutes, don´t waste precious time)
Go back, keep studying.
Can you tell me when I use c'est, cette, cet, ça etc.?
Ouiii easy peasy
C’est = It is Cette = This (followed by a feminine word)Ce = This (followed my à masculine word)
Ça=This (followed by a verb)
Ohhh and
Cet = This (followed by a masculine word that begins itself by a vowel)
Salut! I have a question about texting/internet slang. You know how for emphasis we type "no" as "noooooooooo" or "lol" as "lololololol" or "hey" as "heyyyyyyy"? Is there ways to do this in French? For example do you text "non" as "noooooooooon"? I do this all the time when texting in English and was curious! :D
Hey!!! That’s a great question!! Yesss of courseee do it too in order to exaggerate!!
Here’s the ways we do it:
Ouiiiiii - Yesssss
Nooooon - Nooooo
Troooop bien or trop bieeeen - Awesooooome
Ouaaaaais - Yeaaaaah
Mdrrrr - Lolololol
Coucouuuu or saluuuut - Heyyy
Ciaoooo - Byeeee
Being in trouble in french ouh la la 🇫🇷
Oh non = Oh no
Meeeerde = Shitttt
Putain de sa mère (very rude lol) = Holy fuck
Oh putain = Oh fuck
C’est pas possible = It’s not possible
Je suis dans la merde =I’m in deep shit
Bordel de merde = sort of like “holy shit”
Zut = A cute way to say “darn”
Mince = Another way to say “darn”
Oh mon dieu = Oh my god
C’est pas vrai = I can’t believe it
Qu’est-ce que j’ai fait = What have I done
Tout est foutu = Everything’s over

A new “How To Study” series!! Part 1 of ???
see part 2: How To Study Physics
How to study BIOCHEMISTRY (from yours truly, a biochem major at ucla)
(but also note that i’ve only taken one biochem specific class so far but this class was general biochemistry so hopefully the tips and tricks i learned from taking this class will apply to higher levels of biochemistry!)
studygram: @markiveelle
Biochemistry is a VERY dense subject, it requires a good background in general chemistry (such as acids and bases, thermodynamics) and a strong biology background (hence BIO cheMISTRY) (who would have ever guessed)
Anyways I like to think that biochem is not exactly a strenuous subject in that you won’t need to rack your brain to solve application problems, but it DOES require a LOT of memorization which is arguably less painful, but is still scary.
General Memorization Tips
Start early! The earlier you start your studying, the more time your brain has to process the information which means it will get more comfortable with it and you’ll probably be able to remember it more easily later.
BABY STEPS, don’t try to memorize like 600 terms in one sitting. You’ll probably get them mixed up. The brain doesn’t work that way (for most of us!). Instead, start with the first ten things, get them down really well, then move on to the next ten, then try to get all twenty together. And then the next ten, and then a cumulative self check, and so on. I think this was the best way to start. You have to find how much information you can retain in one sitting!
Make use of free time, try to recall things when you’re waiting in line for food, for the bus, for the shower to warm up, etc. Jogging your memory at all times helps make it more solid.
Make whatever you’re studying your phone/laptop background so it’s of easy access to you! I made the amino acids my iPad lockscreen when I was trying to memorize all of those!
Seriously flashcards help
Memorizing the 20 Amino Acids (and their structures…) in one week
My first quiz in my biochemistry class was to be able to remember all 20 amino acid names, three letter abbreviations, one letter abbreviations, and structures at physiological pH. It was scary lol I had to memorize all that in oNE WEEK (evil)
Grouping them into their respective types can help you in the long run when you may be asked which amino acids are present in polar/nonpolar environments.
I started memorizing the negative and positive amino acids first (there were the least of them lol). I used the cumulative batches method where I memorized the negative ones completely and then moved onto positive ones, and then did a cumulative self check. When I felt comfortable with those I moved onto nonpolar, then aromatic, then polar (idk why i did that order tho)
Most of the one letter abbreviations are the first letter of the name of the amino acid, especially in the nonpolar cases. I remembered the names and abbreviations of the nonpolar ones by just remembering GAVLIMP (read down the column!)
Glutamic Acid is GLU, E (which just spells glue)
Arginine is ARG ARRR ® like a pirate (lol)
Glutamine is Q and that’s weird so that resonated with me
Glutamine and Asparagine are similar to Glutamic Acid and Aspartic Acid in structure!
The nonpolar amino acid structures kind of build upon the previous one, which is also how I remembered those structures
I mainly took advantage of photographic memory in this case because whenever I was asked to recall a certain amino acid, in my head I would think about where that amino acid was on this poster I made. That helped my brain keep everything organized!
Memorizing Fatty Acids/Certain Carbohydrates
FLASH CARDS
Whenever you have to identify or name things, flashcards are the best!! I remember I made flashcards for everything on this page and me and my friends quizzed each other while waiting to be seated at korean bbq lol
Photographic memory again!! Write out all the stuff you gotta know onto one piece of paper (try to limit it to just one side) and study from that. It’s like organizing how your brain will remember stuff (kinda like you knowing exactly where something is in your drawer because you organized it that way)
Memorizing Pathways or Cycles
Glycolysis was the first pathway I had to remember, this one took me the longest because we were required to remember the structures, the names of the enzymes, the cofactors, LITERALLY EVERYTHING in one week it was a STRESS MESS
On this poster I have the detailed version that includes structures on the top and then a brief overview on the bottom that just has the names of stuff. I thought this helped (not sure how)
If you have taken organic chemistry in the past, then memorizing the structures may come a little easier to you because the names of the structures are super close to IUPAC naming so you can deduce from there!
It’s important to run through this IN ORDER over and over and over. Write it out so your hand gets a feel for it.
GOING IN ORDER IS JUST SO IMPORTANT because it conditions your brain to follow that order and you’ll notice that everything builds upon the other (the brain loves patterns and order so this will expedite memorization)
We also had to track carbons, so color coding would have helped in this case too! Color code each carbon so it’s clear where everything goes.
I think biochemistry is also a subject that requires a lot of time and effort, so make sure you give yourself time to study for it. Make a good study group as well so that you have many other people to correct you if you make mistakes, and you can correct them on their mistakes! I also think that catching errors or learning from previous errors is the BEST way to remember the RIGHT information because it shakes you; no one likes to be wrong!
But also remember that everyone has their own habits, find the study tricks that work best for YOU! The more you study, the more you discover what benefits you more. Keep an open mind and a good attitude towards the subject you are working on, and remember that so long as you try your HARDEST you’ll be proud of yourself in the end!!!

how to ask questions in french 💗
1. Est-ce que
literally “is it that,” can be placed at the beginning of any affirmative sentence to turn it into a question:
Est-ce que vous dansez ? Do you dance? Est-ce que tu veux voir un film ? Do you want to see a movie? Est-ce qu'il est arrivé ? Has he arrived? Place any question words in front of est-ce que: (eg. quand, quel, où) Quand est-ce que tu veux partir ? When do you want to leave? Pourquoi est-ce qu’il a menti ? Why did he lie? Quel livre est-ce que vous cherchez ? Which book are you looking for?
2. Inversion
A more formal way to ask questions is with inversion. Invert the conjugated verb and subject pronoun and join them with a hyphen:
Dansez-vous ? Do you dance? Veux-tu voir un film ? Do you want to see a movie? Est-il arrivé ? Has he arrived? Again, place any interrogative words at the beginning of the question: Quand veux-tu partir ? When do you want to leave? Pourquoi a-t-il menti ? Why did he lie? Quel livre cherchez-vous ? Which book are you looking for? You can use inversion to ask negative questions. Ne dansez-vous pas ? Don’t you dance? N'est-il pas encore arrivé ? Hasn’t he arrived yet?
3. Statement as question
A very simple but informal way to ask yes/no questions is to raise the pitch of your voice while pronouncing any sentence:
Vous dansez ? You dance? Tu veux voir un film ? You want to see a movie? Il est arrivé ? He arrived? You can also use this structure to ask negative questions: Tu ne danses pas ? You don’t dance? Il n'est pas encore arrivé ? He hasn’t arrived yet?
4. N'est-ce pas?
If you’re pretty sure the answer to your question is yes, you can just make an affirmative statement and then add the tag n'est-ce pas ? to the end. This is also informal:
Tu danses, n'est-ce pas ? You dance, right? Tu veux voir un film, n'est-ce pas ? You want to see a movie, right? Il est arrivé, n'est-ce pas ? He arrived, right?
5. Notes
The French equivalent of the verb “to ask” is demander, but “to ask a question” is “poser une question.”
There are two main types of questions:
Yes/no questions, also known as polar questions or closed questions (questions fermées), ask for a simple yes or no answer.
Information questions, also known as WH questions, constituent questions, or open questions (questions ouvertes), ask for information with question words, like who, what, when, where, why, which, how, how much/many.
When using inversion with the third person singular (il, elle, or on) and a verb that ends in a vowel, you must add t- between the verb and subject pronoun:
Aime-t-il les films ? - Does he like movies? A-t-on décidé ? - Have we decided? Écoute-t-elle la radio ? - Does she listen to the radio?
There is a special French word, si, that is used only when responding in the affirmative to a negative question.
- Vas-tu au ciné ? - Oui ! - Are you going to the movies? - Yes! - Ne vas-tu pas au ciné ? - Si ! - Aren’t you going to the movies? - Yes (I am)! - Est-ce que tu veux venir ? - Oui ! - Do you want to come? - Yes! - Tu ne veux pas venir ? - Si ! - You don’t want to come? - Yes (I do)
