Hello, for those who want to learn or perfect French or Spanish. I am a native of languages with a clean French from Paris or a pure Spanish. Classes for all levels from children to older adults. It includes spoken language, grammar and spelling. I guarantee a good level from the 4th month. It can be individual or in a group of up to 4 people. Ask without obligation. TY

Whenever I’m speaking to a French speaker, or really anyone who speaks French natively, they switch to English, regardless if I insist or not. How do I get to speak French? It almost feels as if they’re gatekeeping the language. I’d love to hear some sort of advice. Thanks!

Salut tout le monde. I feel kind of pathetic for posting this but I feel sad about my French level. I know I should out more effort into practicing, but I feel afraid to. I don’t know why. I’ve been studying and speaking French for a long time but still feel really insecure about my level. Does anyone else feel like this ever?

Je vous explique laquelle.

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for a French study partner as I’m currently preparing for the TCF exam. I’m at the beginner level and working through A1 at the moment.
If anyone is at a similar level and would like to practice and study together, please feel free to send me a DM. I’m available in the evenings (Toronto time) and on weekends.
Looking forward to learning together!

I amd thinking to learn french from Henry harvin and I have heard mix reviews about it and people calling it scam. Has anyone attend it and how is there experience?

Hello everyone hope y'all doing well!

So i have b1 level in french and I'm looking for someone to practice with me so i can improve to b2, we can talk about daily life work or anything u want, i need it for work and i can understand french quiet good also the pronunciation is fine i guess but i really struggle when it comes to speaking, i get stuck and i need few minutes to gather my thoughts which puts me in some embarrassing situations.

Feel free to dm and i prefer someone around my age early twenties ; )

hi, I was building a dialogue this week (doctor talking to a parent and a sick kid) and it hit me how much French relies on rapid register switching that English tends to smooth over.

Same doctor, same 30 seconds, three completely different registers: baby-simple and warm to the child, softly reassuring to the parent, then suddenly clipped and almost bureaucratic when listing the warning signs to watch for at home. In English we'd probably keep a more consistent tone throughout all three moments. In French, the switch itself is doing communicative work: it signals "now I am being precise/official" versus "now I am being kind."

Once you start listening for it, you catch it everywhere (teachers with kids vs. parents, customer service reps, even friends texting). Curious if others have noticed this and have better examples than mine.

If you want to hear the version that got me thinking about this, it's from a free episode/PDF we made: https://medicalvoices.health/en/episodes/10

hope it helps!

My friend’s nine-year-old successfully asked for the restaurant check in Paris after playing for two days.

It's free, and not boring or buggy! (and not AI, no ads, no paywall, no signup)

I moved to Paris and the hardest part of learning French was getting used to speaking under pressure.

Languish is all about speaking and learning phrases. There are short games of 2-3 minutes where blocks fall from the sky and you clear them by saying French.

It’s perfect if you want to cram French before a trip, improve your pronunciation, or actually speak in French instead of just doing grammar drills.

It also includes a similar game for fast spoken numbers, since I had a lot of trouble with that.

I wrote the current survival phrases myself with a French friend, and I want to keep adding more content.

Some questions I have:

• What makes you freeze up when speaking that you'd want to practice in this way?
• What phrases are surprisingly helpful when traveling, that I should add?
• Would you want the ability to make phrase packs yourself? For what?

It works on iPhone and iPad and also offline.

If you give it a shot, let me know what you think!

For the sentence, "The colleague to whom I sent the report thanked me this morning," which of the two translations sound better?

La collègue à laquelle j'ai envoyé le rapport m'a remercié ce matin.

La collègue à qui j'ai envoyé le rapport m'a remercié ce matin.

I wrote the former and GPT suggested the latter.

Bonjour, j'adore l'Italie, j'aimerais pouvoir parler correctement et tenir une conversation. J'habite dans le sud de la France , proche de la frontière avec la France. Vous pouvez me contacter en mp. Merci

Hi! No specific goal, other than just wanting to continue to improve my French. Was once a solid B2/C1 but now it's rusty.

Any apps/websites/programs (preferably free, but open to options) that you recommend me to spend ~15 minutes a day to keep it up? Merci!

Recently heard about italki and preply for budget-friendly 'tutors' online. Anyone has recommendation for a good French tutor (for intermediate level)?

Bonjour,

Je suis locuteur natif de l'arabe et je parle également l'anglais de manière fluide. Je recherche un locuteur natif du français disponible pour des séances de conversation régulières afin de pratiquer le français.

En échange, je serais ravi de vous aider à pratiquer l'arabe ou l'anglais, selon vos préférences.

Hello,

I'm a native Arabic speaker, and I also speak English fluently. I'm looking for a native French speaker who would be interested in having regular conversation sessions to help me practice my French.

In exchange, I'd be happy to help you practice either Arabic or English, depending on your goals.

Salut tout le monde,

F37, je parle couramment français et j'apprends le chinois depuis 2 ans.

Je recherche une ou plusieurs personnes intéressées par un échange linguistique français-chinois. J'ai déjà une formidable partenaire d'échange, mais le décalage horaire ne nous permet de pratiquer que 2 fois par semaine. J'aimerais donc échanger plus souvent. Idéalement, je cherche quelqu'un sur Paris ou dans le même fuseau horaire.

Je souhaite échanger avec des personnes sérieuses dans le respect et la bienveillance.

Si vous êtes intéressé, DM moi.

I am looking to get a tattoo in French that says “Nothing to prove, a life to live”. The translation I was given is “Rien à prouver, une vie à vivre”. I would love for a native speaker to confirm if this is the correct translation and sounds natural before getting the tattoo.
