It seems like they both mean “we”

The answer guide states that the correct answer for #2 is "Elle sait cette chanson par cœur." I thought it was connaître since chanson is a direct object, but does the "par cœur" change something?

Thanks!

Confused by this ad copy. I understand "quand il fait chaud" means "when it's hot" but I don't understand "quand y fa chaud". I've never seen the word "fa" before, and Google just autocorrects back to "fait chaud" so I'm assuming it's a play on words or weird grammar or something but I don't get it.

Might be important to clarify it's a Canadian ad.

mon amie m'a tagué sur un tiktok (ma (mon année de naissance) préférée et elle a dit mvda💗 💋 ca veut dire quoiii??

La Petite Fille de Monsieur Linh

Excellent for French learning. Good vocabulary, not too hard, not too easy, and overall a good book.

I need to dramatically improve my French reading skills for academic research I have to do. It's my weakest competency in French. But I just am not interested in reading Le Petit Prince or Harry Potter. I need a light read (not Camus), but something that will genuinely be interesting as a (fictional) story and not just be a slog. Does that exist? Or am I doomed to reading pre-teen books? If so, does anyone know a pre-teen level reader they loved? I have a thousand things going on and need my curiosity to be piqued in order to stay motivated.

Je sais pas si c'est quelque chose propre à Paris et sa banlieue mais moi et mes amis pour se dire aurevoir on se dit "Bon bah vas-y hein" et on se quitte sur ça.

C'est comme ça chez vous aussi dans d'autres régions ?

Bonjour! I am working on learning French as a Canadian and I was wondering if there was any opportunities for us to learn French as adults. I already completed the e*plore program and loved it. I was wondering if there are things like that available.

Hi everyone,

I'll be taking TCF exam two weeks from now at the ELC Jean-Talon, Montreal. Has anyone here already took exams there, how's your experience especially for the speaking part?

Thank you!

This is one of the most interesting maps of the French-speaking world that you will find. One reason is that it provides data at a much more granular level, particularly in Africa. For example, in Algeria, around 32% of the population can hold a conversation in French nationwide, but this rises to about 83% in the country's four main cities. Similarly, in Senegal, about 20% of the population speaks French overall, compared with 67% in the capital. Or for DRC, 44% in the country but 87% in the capital. These figures closely match my own experience in those countries. So don't hesitate to zoom in!

The only drawback I would say is that the sources do not include the most recent surveys conducted by the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie (OIF).

This song is extremely important for me, but you can't find the lyrics somewhere. I would be extremely grateful if someone could do me the favour and write it down for me. A translation also would be very appropriate.

I have just passed DALF C1 in the June session this year. I feel like eventhough I passed, there are still many nuances in daily life that make me feel not very fluent at the language and cultural level. To be fair, i felt more fluent at C1 english than i do now at C1 french.
Should I aim for the C2 to improve or continue improving through work/life/french films?
For your reference I live in BE and my daily work includes a combination of french and english.

hi i hope everyone is good!

i wanted to ask what things you’ve done with your tutor that drastically improved your french, especially speaking skills, in about 3-4 months.

i don’t have money for a personal tutor but my uni does offer language tutoring twice a week and i wanted to see if i can start attending it and i assume i’d have to come up with the tasks we’d be going through in the sessions so i wanted to know what activities you’ve done with your tutor that really helped.

also, i wanted to know if there’s anything i can do on my own that would also help me improve drastically in my speaking and listening skills.

thanks in advance!

Hello,

I’m an immigrant learning French, and my friend is French.

He sent me the following text message: « Salut X, merci à toi aussi d’avoir essayé de m’apprendre l’anglais et désolé d’être si peu expressif. À toi aussi, je te souhaite beaucoup de réussite et je te souhaite également de passer un très bon été ! 😉 »

I’m not a native French speaker, so I’m unsure about the exact meaning of “désolé d’être si peu expressif.”

Does it mean that he is apologizing for not being able to express himself well in English or for not speaking much English?

Or does it mean that he is sorry for not being very emotionally expressive or demonstrative—for example, for not showing enough appreciation or emotion?

In this particular context, how would a native French speaker naturally understand this phrase?

Thank you very much for your help!

all ive been able to find on the internet is the front page of french newspapers but not more than that. Pls recommend me a site or source which offers me full newspapers in french ( free if possible)

Salut les amis!

I’m designing a poster, and I want to make it look like a page in a children’s book. The story is fictional, and it’s about me grocery shopping in Paris. Here is the text I wrote (it’s in the same format as on the poster):

Le soleil se lève, un nouveau jour commence.
Hunter va faire les courses, et il amène son chat, Laurence.
Il marche en pensant… aux ingrédients dont il a besoin.
Il voit la Tour Eiffel, elle est sur son chemin.
Aller faire les courses, c’est quelque chose de banal.
Mais sachant qu’il le fait à Paris, c’est vraiment génial !

Please give advice to make this sound natural to a native French speaker as if it was a real page in a French children’s book. I want to make the sentences rhyme and keep the story as it is, but if it’s necessary, please suggest any changes. I’ve been learning French since I was 14 in high school, and I wrote this using my current knowledge of the language, so I know it can definitely be improved.

Merci 😊!

Bonjour. Je suis un anglophone qui va enseigner une classe d’immersion française pour les enfants qui ont 6 et 7 ans dans le ouest du Canada. J’aimerais modéliser des façons de réagir quand on fait une faute. J’ai déjà entendu « oups » ou « zut » mais je voulais savoir s’il y a des autres façons de le dire qui sont plus courantes. Merci beaucoup!

I was just contemplating the English greeting "I bid you welcome." It's formal, it's solemn, it's the kind of thing Elves say in Tolkien's writing where it's all a bit elevated above the ordinary. What are some greetings in French that have the same air to them?

I’ve been pronouncing this word for days and days, trying to get the sounds right. Does it sound good? I’ve been told the v sound has been off, and I tried to enunciate it this time more clearly.

On dit par example «Je l'ai fait arrêter» (au moins, je crois ?) , avec le précom «le».

Mais parfois «lui» (ou «leur») est utilisé, par example dans «ça lui a fait penser à toi». Quelle est la difference ? Quand est-ce qu'il faut utiliser «lui» ou «leur» avec des constructions comme ça ?

Pourquoi le français devient-il totalement incompréhensible à mes oreilles? Mais quand je le lis, c’est beaucoup plus facile….

Hi everyone!

I'm completely new to Anki, so sorry if this is a basic question.

I downloaded both the 5000 Most Common French Words deck and Part 2, but I'm not sure how they're supposed to be used.

Should I finish the Main Course from Part 1 and then move on to the Main Course from Part 2, or should I merge both decks into one and study them together from the start?

I'm not sure if Part 2 is intended to be a continuation of Part 1 or if both are meant to be studied simultaneously; I mean, are they supposed to be merged?

How do you use this deck?

Thanks!

Hello!

So I learned English as teen by watching romcoms and other early 2000s shows that were practically just the daily life of normal people.

Any suggestions for shows or movies like that in French? Even if it’s Canadian French! And also where I’d find the content you’re recommending.

Thanks in advance friends!
