hey everybody! it’s been a while since my last post but anyway I’m back

this is a short post, just for recommending some french music I really like and that has helped me improved my french level; you can use this songs to learn new vocabulary :)

most of this music is old music because I don’t know, I like 80′s music most of the time (in english, spanish and also in french)

Indochine - Tes yeux noirs

Indochine - College Boy

Indochine - La vie est belle

Indochine - Troisième sexe

Téléphone - Un autre monde

Téléphone - New York avec toi

heeey everybody! we’re in day 4 and this implies singing a Disney song three times. This was a really good way to end the day because I really enjoy this song in my native language (spanish) and it sounds really good in french!! I have to admit I sang this song more than three times today haha, I loved the french version of the song!

I’ll leave the lyrics here if you want to sing the song too:

heyyy, today it’s the third day so I learned two new idioms in french and now I’m going to share with you these idioms, again it’s almost midnight but anyway here they are, hope you enjoy it!

1. Tourner au vinaigre “to turn to vinegar”

Meaning: When a situation “turns to vinegar”, it means it’s getting out control.

Example: -Ça va tourner au vinaigre si tu pleures

2. En faire tout un fromage “to make a whole cheese out of it”

Meaning: When someone makes a tumult about something that in reality isn’t that important

Example: -Je n’ai aucun sens pratique, quelquefois j’en fais tout un fromage

it’s 23:59 as I’m writing this but anyway...

pieuvre - octopus

baleine - whale

méduse - jellyfish

poisson - fish

narwal - narwhal

dauphin - dolphin

seiche - cuttlefish

épaulard - orca

raie - stingray

heyyyy today it’s day 5: translate a song so I will translate one song called Tree Hugger, this appears in a movie called Juno which is about a teenager who gets pregnant :) I was going to translate another song but my level it’s basic and I didn’t know most of the words so... I chose this one

I hope you enjoy it! the song is really curious and kinda funny. I’ll put the video in this post so you can hear it

lyrics in french (correct me if I made something wrong pleaseee!)

-

la fleur dit “j’aimerai être arbre”

le arbre dit “j’aimerai pouvoir être un différent type de arbre”

le chat souhaiterait être une abeille

la tortue désirait pouvoir voler vraiment haut dans le ciel

au dessus des toits et puis plonger profondement dans lamer

et dans la mer il y a du poisson

un poisson qui avait un désir secret

le désir d’être un grand cactus avec une fleur rose

et la fleur offrirait amour au désert

hiii everybody

it’s late here in Peru and today I officially started my french classes, but anyway, today’s activity is to memorize a poem

I think it shouldn’t be about just memorizing, I think it’s also about feeling the poem; that’s why I chose the poem you are going to read now: it expresses a lot of emotions

L’éternité - Arthur Rimbaud

Elle est retrouvée.

Quoi? - l’éternité.

C'est la mer allée

Avec le soleil.

Âme sentinelle,

Murmurons l'aveu

De la nuit si nulle

Et du jour en feu.

Des humains suffrages,

Des communs élans

Là tu te dégages

Et voles selon.

Puisque de vous seules,

Braises de satin,

Le devoir s'exhale

Sans qu'on dise: enfin.

Là pas d'espérance,

Nul orietur.

Science avec patience,

Le supplice est sûr.

Elle est retrouvée.

Quoi ? - l'éternité.

C'est la mer allée

day 1 - 100 days challenge for langblrs

heeey today I’m starting this challenge and today it’s day 1: learn 5 new words

hey! thank you so much for asking! :)

49: do you have any language pet peeves? yes! well, I hate when people say “Oh, so you speak (x language), how can I say (any phrase) in (x language)” and it’s like hm, i’m learning, i didn’t say i know how to speak that language.

50: is there a language that you’ve tried to learn but could never stick with it or just weren’t interested? yes, I was interested in learning quechua and I still think it’s a really beautiful and interesting language but I just couldn’t stick with it, there weren’t enough resources or motivation
