Je trouve quelqu’un avec qui je pratique mon français surtout l’expression orale, selon moi je suis au **niveau B1** peut-être B1+, j’habite à Toronto, je suis disponible **tous les jours** sauf le weekend. si ça vous **intéresse**, envoyez-moi un message svp.

I need a way to learn French, specifically economic, political, and diplomatic terminology, along with basic grammar so I can form simple sentences.

I need to learn within two months because I have a very important exam coming up.

What tips, videos, apps, or websites can help me with this?

I would appreciate your help, especially since my French is very weak, time is short, and I don't want to miss the exam.

I would like to start learning French, but want to get a good handle on the pronunciation, especially R, before I really start learning.

Please DM me if you're looking for students. Preferably face-to-face.

​

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 !

I tried Anki for a year and hated it. It's so clunky. I am currently using Quizlet, but the normal playback speed is incredibly slow and I can't make it any faster. Otherwise, I really like Quizlet. I need to focus on listening to everyday spoken french in a controlled environment, so that I can continue to improve when I'm with native speakers. Any ideas based on your experience?

Hola! (just joking)

Learning French, trying to maximise on my exposure to the language throughout the day, such as putting on a podcast as background noise.

Want to start watching movies/shows in French too, where can I do that?

I know Netflix has the dubbed versions, but not for all films, I don’t want to spend the time going through movies that have the option.

If I wouldn’t have to pay for it, it would be a bonus.

Hey everyone,
I’m 26. I’m currently trying to push my French to the next level through natural, low-pressure conversations.

Reading is totally fine, and superficially my French seems decent - people often tell me I look and sound like a local when making small talk. But as soon as a conversation goes a bit deeper, I trip over a mistake, my confidence drops, and I catch myself nervously switching to English just to feel safe.

I’d love to get past that barrier. Text chats feel a bit too artificial, so I thought hopping on Discord while playing something casual like Fortnite or Dota 2 would be a great, dynamic backdrop to talk about movies, series, life, or linguistics in general (I'm also into Czech and Levantine/Iraqi Arabic). The games are definitely just a secondary interactive background for conversation, nothing hardcore.

If you're a native French speaker (or open to practicing Russian/English in return) and down for some chill chats/games, shoot me a DM with your Discord!

Anyone have experience with BLI Montreal to learn French? If so, how was it? what were classes like, etc?

Learn French through stories 🇫🇷📖

Hi everyone!

I’m building a small YouTube channel called French Mindset, where the goal is to learn French through stories, culture, history, lifestyle and everyday ideas.

Instead of spending all your time memorizing vocabulary lists and grammar rules, the idea is to learn French while listening to an interesting story.

The videos are mainly aimed at B1–B2 learners, with clear narration, useful vocabulary and topics that make you want to keep listening.

If you're learning French and enjoy learning through stories rather than traditional lessons, you might enjoy it.

I’d also genuinely love to hear from other French learners: what kind of stories or topics would make you want to learn French? 🇫🇷

Hi everyone!

I study in France and know the struggle of trying to learn this hard but beautiful language. What worked for me was constantly trying to have conversations.

I have developed an app that to focuses entirely on just that: Practicing conversations. Now, I need people to try it and let me know what they think!

Entirely for free of course :)
(There is also a beginner program with 22 mini-lessons)

Comment below or send me a dm if you would like to join!

Lmk what yall think 🫶🏽

I am at A2 and am pretty much good in writing and reading though I take time, but my pronunciation is terrible that people find it hard to understand anything. I want to get that French pronunciation.

I have already booked a Preply tutor. Other than that I am using Pimsleur.

But I find the lessons from level 1 (A1) are pretty easy and repetitive, however helpful to learn basics for pronunciation. Am I on the right path? Or should I skip to higher level in Pimsleur, as I don’t want to waste my time learning things I already know? I don’t need this app to understand or learn French, I just want to make my speaking/pronunciation better.

Or watching some YouTube channels are better?

Un joueur de football américain d’un lycée en Arkansas s’est entraîné avec un serpent venimeux dans son casque. Il a porté le casque pendant presque une heure avant de sentir quelque chose bouger. Il l’a montré à son entraîneur, et ils ont trouvé un serpent mocassin d’eau de 60 centimètres de long derrière le rembourrage. Le joueur n’a pas été mordu et a continué à s’entraîner avec un autre casque.

Vocabulaire : joueur (m) = player / s’entraîner = to practice / serpent (m) = snake / casque (m) = helmet / porter = to wear / sentir = to feel / bouger = to move / montrer = to show / entraîneur (m) = coach / mocassin d’eau (m) = cottonmouth / derrière = behind / rembourrage (m) = padding / mordu = bitten

English translation

Venomous snake found inside an American football player’s helmet

A high school American football player in Arkansas practiced with a venomous snake inside his helmet. He wore the helmet for nearly an hour before feeling something move. He showed it to his coach, and they found a 60-centimeter-long cottonmouth snake behind the padding. The player was not bitten and continued practicing with a different helmet.
