NEVER SAY “MON AMI” IN FRENCH (AND WHAT TO SAY INSTEAD 1) “Mon ami” is just a cliché. Mon ami (or mon amie in the feminine) means “my friend.”. If there’s a French character in an American movie, they basically have to say it at some point. Like in this scene of Beauty and the Beast. It’s kind of like saying Bonjour with a really heavy accent. HOW TO TYPE FRENCH ACCENTS ON YOUR KEYBOARD Just hold the key of the letter you want to accent down, and then you can choose the accented letter from the choices that get presented with a mouse click, or type the number of the choice you want. For example for an é, just hold down the e key. You will see a list of the possible accents. 10 WAYS TO END AN EMAIL IN 1 OR 2 WORDS IN FRENCH 10 ways to end an email in 1 or 2 words in French.

USING “VENIR DE” IN FRENCH CONVERSATION 2. Venir de = Just did something. “ Venir de ” also means something else entirely: “Je viens de ” = “I’ve just .”. You can use it to talk about the immediate past in French. It’s like a whole new tense – and much easier than the other past tenses in French. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN Y VS EN IN The French words y and en are pronouns. We use them to replace groups of words, for short. Y is pronounced . It’s used to replace: à + (= roughly “towards something / about something / in something”) En is pronounced .

FRENCH GRAMMAR: FRENCH SUBJUNCTIVE MADE EASY Le subjonctif, the French subjunctive, is a special conjugation for French verbs..

Le subjonctif présent → The most common one, which we’ll explore today. I’ll call it “le subjonctif” for short.; Le subjonctif imparfait → The stereotypical AVOIR L’AIR: MEANING + USES IN EVERYDAY FRENCH Avoir l’air is pronounced (“avwar lerr.”). Literally, it’s: avoir (= to have, irregular verb) + l’air (= the air) = to have the air of.

These two French adverbs are always spelled the same.

HOW TO LEARN A SECOND LANGUAGE A language (here, I’ll take French as an example) is made of 3 ingredients: vocabulary, communication habits and culture. How to learn a second language: the 3 important ingredients. Look at the proportions. You have to be strategic in your learning to cover the gaps in your knowledge. HOW TO LEARN FRENCH IN 10 MINUTES A DAY Luckily there are resources and ideas you can try to make it productive – even in 10 minutes or less. For instance, I like to recommend Earworms for oral comprehension.. Duolingo, Babbel or Mosalingua are also good apps you can turn to.. With iTalki, you can find a learning partner and chat in French as you take a walk in the park. You can also study on our own! LEARN FRENCH WITH MY FAVORITE FRENCH TEXTBOOKS Communication progressive du français, by Claire Miquel. This French textbook is a parallel to my Master Spoken French courses: it covers French everyday life (and social conversation) situation by situation, and it gives you everything you need to feel confident with your spoken French.. The book is split into big modules (with several lessons for each) : “How to talk to people in everyday THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN Y VS EN IN The French words y and en are pronouns. We use them to replace groups of words, for short. Y is pronounced . It’s used to replace: à + (= roughly “towards something / about something / in something”) En is pronounced . It’s a French nasal vowel that we use in words like “ sans ” (= without) or “ enfants ” (= children). FRENCH DIFFICULTIES: THE HARDEST THINGS TO LEARN IN FRENCH 1. French Difficulties in Grammatical Gender. Le genre grammatical, grammatical gender, is a strange thing. There are some rules and guidelines, though. But there’s no real way to skip your homework entirely. You have to know, for instance, that une table, a table, is feminine, while un bureau, a desk, is masculine. NEVER SAY “MON AMI” IN FRENCH (AND WHAT TO SAY INSTEAD 1) “Mon ami” is just a cliché. Mon ami (or mon amie in the feminine) means “my friend.”. If there’s a French character in an American movie, they basically have to say it at some point. Like in this scene of Beauty and the Beast. It’s kind of like saying Bonjour with a really heavy accent. 5 BEST FRENCH RADIO STATIONS TO IMPROVE YOUR FRENCH Bonjour ! The radio is a great tool to learn French. And it’s available at all times, online – even while you’re doing something else! You get to listen to French music, well spoken French talking, with some humor and news in France but it depends on which station youlisten to.
SE TROUVER VS SE RETROUVER Se trouver is made up of se (reflexive pronoun) + trouver (to find).. The first meaning for “ On se trouve ” is: “We’re located in” (literally, “We find ourselves in”. For example: “ Ça dépend d’où on se trouve. ” = It depends on where we are. This meaning of “ se trouver ” is always pronominal, and the pronoun changes to match the subject. FRENCH FOOD CULTURE: 5 MISTAKES WITH FRENCH BREAD 1) Saucer. La sauce is a dish’s sauce. Saucer is a French verb that means essuyer la sauce qui reste dans son assiette (= “to mop up the sauce from your plate”) For example: J’aime bien saucer mon assiette après avoir mangé du boeuf bourguignon. I like to mop up the sauce in my plate, after eating some beef Burgundy.

Venir de = Just did something. “ Venir de ” also means something else entirely: “Je viens de ” = “I’ve just .”. You can use it to talk about the immediate past in French. It’s like a whole new tense – and much easier than the other past tenses in French. HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR WRITTEN FRENCH This is where the fun starts 🙂 Bad news: you’ll (very probably) never reach perfection with your written French. My students in my live program Le Salon de Géraldine have an impressive level of French (much more than they think), yet there’s always more to learn.. Learn more about Le Salon de Géraldine. Even native French speakers don’t know everything, after all. UNDERSTANDING SPOKEN FRENCH (EVEN WHEN IT’S FAST) In fast spoken French, the “ J ” sound often mutates into “ Ch ” before a consonant. For instance: Je suis (= I am) becomes J’suis (the “e” disappears) becomes Chui (“J’s” turns into “ Ch .”) → Je suis allée à la boulangerie sounds like “ Chui allée à la boulanj’rie ” in fast spoken French.

It mostly depends on where you live! – Une (1) doesn’t happen often (maybe in Western Brittany.) – Deux (2) is the most common choice, and also the number in Paris. – French people in the South sometimes make Trois (3) bises. – You might even find Quatre (4) around the Loire river, west 10 EXAMPLES OF SEXIST FRENCH 10 Examples of Sexist French. Download this Lesson as a PDF. Salut ! In French, we have masculine and feminine gender for nouns : « un arbre » and « une fleur ». Also, there are nouns that can be masculine or feminine depending on whom you’re talking about : un boulanger is a man while une boulangère is a woman. TRÈS, TROP, OR BEAUCOUP Très amusant ! / Trop drôle ! / J’aime beaucoup! “ Très ”, “ trop,” and “ beaucoup ” are three very common adverbs in French, especially in spoken French. They almost mean the same thing but, they aren’t quite the same, and they’re not synonyms that you can swap for one another. WHY YOU SHOULDN’T USE “GARÇON” TO CALL A WAITER In French, we do call a male waiter un garçon (= “a boy” literally.). Don’t forget that “ ç ” (or “ c cédille ”) sounds like an “s”. If you forget the “cédille”, then the word reads like “garr con”, and “con” is a rude French word that means “stupid”!
