Basically, I am from one of the countries colonized by France, which means I learned some French at school. However, I didn’t like it and didn’t pay much attention to the teacher. Anyway, for various reasons, I recently started seriously trying to learn it. Honestly, I thought I didn’t understand a single word, but it turns out that I can grasp some of what is being said though vaguely and incompletely. For example, I can somewhat understand videos in French, but not entirely. I’d say I understand about 10% to 15% of what’s being said. I also took an online test to assess my French level, and it seems I’m somewhere between A1 and A2. Therefore, I’m unsure about what steps to take or where to begin my learning journey.

Hi, I dont know from where should I start. I need favor from you guys to suggest me one book thats enough for a1 level tef canada. Just one

hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. I am looking for some suggestions on the best books to learn conversational French. Unfortunately, the person that wants to learn has no access to the internet so an app or website or any book that has has an online learning portion is out of the question. Thanks!!

Im a student currently preparing for TEF exam. what are the study resources used and what is the approximate period of preparation needed to clear the exam.

Hello, guys. I am following this playlist (Not a promotion or anything; I just found it through a random YouTube search) for my DELF B2 preparation. It would have been a great help to me if I could print out the audio transcript of all these videos. I was guessing that the audios are from an organized source. Could you please tell me if these are from any book where I can get these?

Thanks in advance.

Hello, I've been teaching two 12 years old twin brothers with the book series 'Les Loustics' 1,2 and 3. Soon, we will be finished with 'Les Loustics 3'. I'm wondering which French book could be a good transition to continue our lessons ? Any suggestions ? Thank you

Hi all,

I moved to France almost a year ago, and although I’m slowly learning, I’m having a hard time learning French. I can order in French for myself, but I’m not at the level I would like to be at especially if I want to work in France.

Can I get suggestions on what I can do to help myself? Im going to be starting Alliance Française, but I’m waiting on the results of my French test to see where I am at. I do use Duolingo, and try to work on my French with my French husband. I want to do more to help myself in the long term especially outside of my classes.

Any advice?

I am an Italian at very beginner level, and I was confused on which between "pardon" and "désolé", because in italian "sono desolato" is a very formal way to say "scusa" (sorry), so I was wondering if its the same in french

Bonjour !

Cela m'a préoccupé depuis un moment.

J'ai entendu / vu ces deux expressions :

traduire de (une langue) vers (une autre langue) ;

traduire de (une langue) à (une autre langue).

Par exemple :

Il a traduit ce document du français vers l'anglais.

Il a traduit ce document du français à l'anglais.

Y a-t-il une différence entre eux ?

Merci beaucoup !

Salut a tous ! I started learning french when I was 14 in high school and was so obsessed I continued learning on my own for 5 years. I stopped about 2 years ago but I still remembered a lot. I’m a 23F and a RN so I recently booked a trip to Paris by myself because I was tired of waiting on people to go with lol, so I’m locking into my french again HARD. The main thing I’m looking for are any recommendations for any grammar/vocab books, ways to improve my fluency/speaking, and any other tips if you all have any. I recently started listening to Intermediate French Podcast ep1 (i’m on 4 now) and I truly understand 95% of it without having to look at he transcript 🥳🥳. I also have used coffee break French for years to practice speaking. But any other tools would be greatly appreciated.

Merci et bonne journée a tous!

TLDR: Any recommendations for grammar/vocab books & ways to improve my fluency/speaking?

This is embarrassing to bring up, but I really need help with speaking/listening for French. It’s embarrassing to say this because I’ve been studying French for already 12 years yet I’m not even fluent in speaking/listening. It takes me quite a while to process them out, unlike writing/typing I can be okay with it. Im soon having a test next year for French language. Does anyone know any app/ website/ tutoring?

According to Duolingo, the correct order is "Vous nous aidez..." or "Vous mettez ça..." Why does the pronoun come before the verb in the first example, but after in the second example?

Is there a single book that covers every relevant grammar principle and vocab from beginner all the way to fluent and that feels progressive and structured. I want to feel that by the end of the book I know everything there is to french grammar (although I know that's too ambitious). If not it can be a series of books.

I everyone, I’ve been learning for about 8 months mostly working on vocab and such. I’m going to France next week for work and have the opportunity to meet lots of people who I’d maybe be able to practice speaking with. Although we’re an international company there’s naturally a lot of guys that speak French.

Any tips or advice? I’ve never tried speaking French with people so I’m a bit nervous. And I don’t really know how much I’ll be and to manage to be honest. I try listening to French podcasts to help with the listening but I also really struggle with that. I also feel like they’re not going to way to try speaking to me in French because I’m such a beginner.

j'ai la somniloquie, je parle dans mon sommeil, tout le temps en ma langue maternelle (anglais). parfois je suis réveille parlant encore. la nuit dernière c'était comme ça mais dans français! à propos des conteneurs framboise... intéressant sujet mais c'est-à-dire je sais assez français pour le parler en dormant.

une expérience très étrange !

désolée pour les erreurs.

Hey there! I am learning French now for almost 50 days and I learned all verb forms from past to future and conditional as well and practiced them so many times that I mastered them. Now I am on YouTube and started listening to French beginner listening practice videos bit by bit I am slowly understanding about 20-30% of what they are saying sometimes even more. I would say I have learnt good amount of vocab as well through those videos but now I feel like I am stalling and getting slow in learning what more should I look into learn more? Netflix French movies or TV shows are way too difficult to understand anything and won’t help and I still struggle with sentence formation especially the complex ones. Any help would be great. Merci beaucoup.

I’ve taken my first semester of French and I’m approaching my finals, most of the course was discussion based so reading my textbook feels useless. Does anyone just want to text at a basic French level? You can dm me and tell me how terrible my French is. Merci

Surtout, qu’il ne coure pas dans la rue.

• Ouf, je te jure, je suis un peu perdu ! Je pense à prendre une année sabbatique, voyager un peu, voir du pays… Ça m’aiderait surement à réfléchir à tout ça...

• Ah, je te comprends ! Mais, en même temps, si tu arrêtes, tu vas peut-être trouver ça dur de recommencer... En tout cas, c’est ce que ça m’a fait, à moi !
