Hello, I am currently an A1 étudiant en Français, seeking a partner fluent in EU French to practice with. I am offering American English (native) I am very knowledgable in American slang and English slang & informal conversation.

I have some personal preferences for my partner as I am a very transparent guy, to keep the relationship healthy as I am open to creating friends, especially on the internet:

- I am open to both straight male and female. (FYI, I am a straight male.)

- Preferably under 18 as I am a minor, but I am open with young people over 18 as long as everything stays professional and appropriate.

-No irrelevant conversation topics unless it's a cultural insight. (politics, religion, sexuality, race, etc.)

I have a great interest in intellectual topics, people refer to me as funny & witty. I have great interest in health, nutrition, fitness, martial arts, sports, etc. I also homestead and have a passion for animals & K9's. I love business, medicine, self improvement, reading, and other topics of great intellect. I am an amateur musician, and have a passion for rock music. I would consider myself a very traditional young man. I live in California.

If these traits sound like you and these topics of interest, we most likely would be good partners. I have been studying french for around 3 months inconsistently.

I am open to making friends as I am a nice guy.

En Français:

Bonjour, je suis actuellement un étudiant A1 en français, à la recherche d'un partenaire parlant couramment le français de l'UE avec qui pratiquer. Je propose l'anglais américain (langue maternelle). Je connais très bien l'argot américain et l'argot anglais et la conversation informelle.

J'ai des préférences personnelles pour mon partenaire car je suis un gars très transparent, pour garder la relation saine car je suis ouvert à la création d'amis, en particulier sur Internet :

- Je suis ouvert aux hommes et aux femmes hétéros. (Pour info, je suis un homme hétéro.)

- De préférence de moins de 18 ans car je suis mineur, mais je suis ouvert avec les jeunes de plus de 18 ans tant que tout reste professionnel et approprié.

- Pas de sujets de conversation non pertinents à moins qu'il ne s'agisse d'un aperçu culturel. (politique, religion, sexualité, race, etc.)

J'ai un grand intérêt pour les sujets intellectuels, les gens me qualifient de drôle et d'esprit. J'ai un grand intérêt pour la santé, la nutrition, le fitness, les arts martiaux, les sports, etc. Je suis également propriétaire d'une ferme et j'ai une passion pour les animaux et les K9. J'aime les affaires, la médecine, le développement personnel, la lecture et d'autres sujets de grande intelligence. Je suis un musicien amateur et j'ai une passion pour la musique rock. Je me considère comme un jeune homme très traditionnel. Je vis en Californie.

Si ces traits vous ressemblent et que vous vous reconnaissez dans ces sujets d'intérêt, nous serions probablement de bons partenaires. J'étudie le français depuis environ 3 mois de manière irrégulière.

Je suis ouvert à me faire des amis car je suis un gars sympa.

↑(J'avais pas traduire ca pour plus facile pour moi.)↑

Je pouvez parler une peu français pour très basique parler, et conversation.

J'apprends le français por trois mois.

Un jour, un vieux sage qui avait des filles remarque que ces dernières portaient de plus en plus des habits transparents.

Ils ont traversé l'Afrique d'est en ouest. . . à vélo !

Ils ont traversé l'Afrique d'est à ouest. . . à vélo !

À peine avais-je laissé retomber ma tête que je sentis briller dans mon esprit quelque chose que je ne saurais mieux définir que la moitié non formée de cette idée de délivrance, et dont une moitié seule avait flotté vaguement dans ma cervelle,

Hi! American here. I’m going to Paris France for the first time in February. I’m wondering how to say “hello” or what a “normal” greeting is when someone enters a store, museum, restaurant etc. (any type of tips are helpful really)

I ask because I was recently in Spain and Italy and I have studied both languages / physically sort of look and dress the part so it was easy to enter establishments without drawing attention to myself that I’m not from the country. Sounds random but after a day of popping in and out of places, mastering the greeting can be helpful !

Also if you think this post is overly anxious / obvious then just don’t reply 😅 thanks!

Im learning French(beginner level) and im confused as to why the following sentence uses faire passer instead of just faire. Can somebody explain the difference? Thanks! "Il aime faire passer les nouveaux au tableau sans crier gare"

A friend of mine who lived in France some years told me that it could be like "J'ai une touche" or "J'ai une touche pour toi", but I'm not finding it online. Could you help me?

Hi,

I'm living in France for a while now, and I have a hard time watching the French news. Subtitles are usually crap, and the parts that I did pick up I try to translate or ask questions about (what tense, certain idioms etc.) in ChatGPT. So I built fluentsubs.com . You can throw in any YouTube link (< 15 minutes) and it will transcribe and translate the content. You can ask questions about the content or chat with an AI about the content.

It is a MVP, no payments whatsoever until I have validated the idea. I'm aware that there are some platforms that do similar things but they always take the standard subtitles instead of transcribing the audio, which is usually of poor quality.

I'm very curious about your thoughts!

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.
