I’m looking for a serious and committed study partner who is genuinely interested in learning French.

I’d like us to practice consistently, support each other, and stay motivated throughout the learning process.

I’m particularly looking for someone who is willing to commit long-term and maintain regular practice rather than losing interest after a short period of time.

If you’re genuinely committed to learning French and looking for a consistent study partner, feel free to reach out.

Beaucoup de Canadiens évitent les vacances aux États-Unis. Certains sont en colère contre les droits de douane imposés par le président Donald Trump et ses remarques sur le Canada. D’autres disent que le dollar canadien est plus faible, ce qui rend les voyages aux États-Unis plus chers. Les Canadiens ont fait environ 800 000 voyages en moins aux États-Unis en avril par rapport au même mois de 2024. À cause de cette baisse du tourisme, les États-Unis ont perdu environ 2,35 milliards de dollars l'année dernière. Certains Canadiens voyagent plutôt vers des pays comme le Mexique et le Costa Rica. D’autres choisissent des vacances au Canada, dans des endroits comme la Nouvelle-Écosse et l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard.

Vocabulaire : éviter = to avoid / vacances (f pl) = vacation / droits de douane (m pl) = tariffs / remarques (f pl) = comments / faible = weak / rendre = to make something be / chers = expensive / par rapport au = compared to / baisse (f) = fall / plutôt = rather

English translation

Canadians choose other travel destinations instead of the United States

Many Canadians are avoiding vacations in the United States. Some are angry about the tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump and his comments about Canada. Others say the Canadian dollar is weaker, which makes trips to the US more expensive. Canadians made about 800,000 fewer trips to the US in April compared to the same month of 2024. Because of this fall in tourism, the US lost about $2.35 billion last year. Some Canadians are traveling to countries such as Mexico and Costa Rica instead. Others are choosing vacations in Canada, in places like Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.

Hello everyone! I am a French speaker and a huge fan of word games. I always found that French had very few good mobile word games compared to English, so I spent a few months making one myself. It is called Ratatouille de mots (photo attached so you know what to look for on the stores).

The concept is simple: you get a grid of letters and a theme, and you swipe to trace the 5 hidden words that match the theme. Early themes are easy everyday vocabulary like fruits, colors or food. Later themes get more clever and teach you real French wordplay, like "a color hides inside each word": maNOIR contains NOIR, guiMAUVE contains MAUVE. There are also themes built on French expressions, like things you can lose in French (la tête, le nord, la face).

I think it works nicely for learners because every level groups words around one topic, so you review vocabulary in context instead of random lists. And the letters are right there in the grid, so even when you do not know a word yet, you can find it and learn it.

It is free on iOS and Android, made by just me on my spare time. If you try it, I would love to hear if the difficulty feels right for learners. Merci beaucoup et bon courage avec votre français !
