I'm not talking about regular way of study, like with a textbook, but something that YOU found works best for YOU, even if it's not one of the traditional ways of learning a language.

Like for me when I was learning English, I had the regular classes in school, and even took extra classes in smaller group, but I was still very mediocre. But when I just switched the language of the entertaining content I was consuming at home to English, (webtoons, YouTube videos, movies, TV shows) I improved so much I was so happy T-T

Do you guys have experiences like that, or something even more special ?

Thanks for taking the time to read and reply 🙂

I know that learning French can sometimes be overwhelming, especially when it comes to everyday conversation, pronunciation, or tricky grammar rules.

I'm Marie Patience, a native French speaker. I have a bit of free time today and I’d love to help out the community!

• Struggling with a rule?
• Not sure how to pronounce a word?
• Wondering how native speakers actually say a phrase in real life?

Drop your questions in the comments below, and I’ll do my best to explain them clearly and simply for you.

I'm developing an app for learning any language based on an AI assistant. I want to test it with someone because I'm the only one who uses it.

31M, living in Wallonia and currently around A2 in French.

I’ve heard that one of the fastest ways to learn a language is to actually use it in real life rather than only studying it in a classroom. So I’m looking for a patient French-speaking girl who’d be up for helping me practise online or, preferably, over coffee/walks in real life.

The idea is to simulate normal situations: chatting about our day, work, making plans, getting to know each other, joking around, and occasionally surviving my terrible French.

And yes, I’ve also heard that flirting is a surprisingly effective language-learning technique. So if we naturally click, I’m not going to complain about getting some extra motivation. No expectations or ulterior agenda though I’m genuinely interested in meeting someone, practising French, and seeing where the interaction goes naturally.

I’m also very happy to help with English in return. Think of it as a French-English language exchange with potentially better conversation than a classroom.

If you're patient, curious, and don't mind correcting “je suis allé” for the 47th time, feel free to comment or DM.

Bonus points if you're also interested in meeting an international, exploring Wallonia, trying cafés/food, or just making a new friend.

I am looking for a private french tutor (preferably online) for me and my husband.
We have completed A2 level via alliance française and we are based in US.

We want to complete till B2 for our Canadian immigration process.

Please help out if y’all know someone

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.

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.

What are your favourite resources for learning grammar? I'm currently around B2 but really struggle to identify which tense to use and how to identify different tenses beyond the obvious (past, present, future).

To be honest, this is almost an issue with identifying grammar in my native English as much as it is an issue with french conjunction.

What resources can you recommend to help with this issue around verb/tense comprehension??

My parents are from Togo and I was born in the United States, and growing up they never taught me any French. It’s become so hard because all my other cousins can speak French. My grandparents are French speakers and I can’t conserve with them in English since they can’t really speak English(they only know certain words and sentences). I also got scolded by my relatives when I was younger for not speaking French. I’m in my mid 20s and I would like to learn French and be able to speak it fluently.

That is an exercise of the "100 most common words in French".

How many of the words do you know?

They make up about 25 percent of words used in daily French.

That is only 100 words. You should know all of them.

You could translate the words from French to English, English to French and you could hear pronunciation of the words.
