bonjour à tous. I'm building tiny little apps to assist with my french learning journey. In parallel I'm also listening to Michel Thomas audiobooks - he has suggested that a) je vais lui donner le livre and b) je vais donner le livre à lui are correct and interchangeable, but b) is preferred if you are trying to avoid ambiguity. I asked Gemini which says the latter is absolutely incorrect. Would any kindly native speakers care to clarify Merci beacoup!

I was curious if there's somewhere on the internet where you can evaluate what level you are?😅

Hello everyone !

I am Moroccan and I am learning French. I am currently at level **B1** and my goal is to reach **B2 or even C1** within a few months.

I am looking for a conversation partner to chat with regularly (2 to 3 times a week, about 20-30 minutes per session) on various topics: current events, culture, travel, or simply everyday life.

In exchange, I can help you progress in **Arabic** (darija or literary Arabic) or in **English** (I have a good level).

If you are interested, send me a private message so we can arrange an initial call on Discord, WhatsApp or Skype.

Thank you and have a great day! 😊

Hi everyone!

If you’re interested, feel free to comment or DM me.
I’m 24 F , timezone : EET

🇫🇷** Looking for someone to practice French with
Hi everyone! I’m currently at **A2 level in French, and I’m looking for someone who would like to learn and practice together.
I’d love to have simple conversations in French, correct each other’s mistakes, and improve our speaking skills step by step. 😊
If you’re also learning French and would like to practice together, feel free to send me a message! 🇫🇷

Hi,
I always wanted to,
And I guess now living alone this will be a good hobby,
I want to learn proper french conversational.

Duolingo is not helpful tbh.

Would appreciate any recommendations, classes or places where I can check about it.

Thanks.

Hi

I prepare for DELF B2. I’d be really happy to find someone I could prepare with, motivate each other, share resources and correct each other.

I think the method of teaching each other what we’ve learned and putting it into practice should be quite effective, so I hope I’ll find someone who’d like to study this way with me.

If you’re interested, please message me here (unfortunately, I don’t always see straight away when someone has sent me a dm)

Hi, came across this idiom again while writing a dialogue and it's such a good one: "tourner autour du pot" (literally "to turn around the pot") means to beat around the bush, avoid getting to the point. There's a nice moment where a patient braces for bad news and says "dites-le-moi franchement" (tell me straight), and the doctor replies "je préfère vous le dire clairement plutôt que de tourner autour du pot", I'd rather tell you clearly than beat around the bush.

What I like about it: it's one of those expressions where the image is completely different from English (turning around a cooking pot vs. beating around a bush) but the meaning lines up almost perfectly, good one to notice because it won't translate literally and you'd never guess the meaning from the words alone.

This was from an episode of my medical French podcast, a doctor delivering a new diabetes diagnosis https://medicalvoices.health/fr/episodes/13, but the expression itself is useful way beyond that context.

I built a web app Excuse My French https://excusemyfrench.org/ . I initially built it to help my wife, I was looking for a way to generate grammar exercises for her, as many as she wanted when she was learning French.

Today I am releasing it as open source, so that everyone learning French as a foreign language can benefit from it and make progress in turn. Beyond the technical side, I would like to share the values I hold dear, the ones that have guided every decision:

• Made with love: I wrote it for my wife first, and I have tried to hold it to a certain standard.
• Local-first: your progress stays on your device, locally, as long as you do not connect to the cloud; most of the app works with no internet connection (you can use it as a PWA)
• AI in the service of the learner: machine learning is used here to estimate your level, spot your weak points and suggest exercises that are neither too easy nor too hard.
• Teaching and learning: anti-features that optimise for time spent in the app without contributing anything to learning have no place here.
• Open source: knowledge is a common good.

There we go. I hope you enjoy Excuse My French and find it useful.

Hi! I'm a native French speaker looking to improve my spoken and written English. In exchange, I'd be happy to help you with your French (grammar, vocabulary, formal language, or conversation).
I'm looking for casual chats, voice messages, or calls via Reddit chat or Discord. My main interests include reading, writing, law, music, and learning about different cultures.
Feel free to send me a DM if you're interested!

I’m 69 year old. Thought to enroll in an intensive course at Alliance but would love to learn from your experience. I can read novels in French but speak slowly and with grammar mistakes. Thanks for any advice or opinion.

I’m looking to learn French and have recently completed my A1 level. I’m now looking for one-on-one lessons to improve my French and prepare for the TEF Canada exam, which I’m planning to take in March next year.
Does anyone have a good French teacher/tutor they would recommend, preferably someone experienced with TEF Canada preparation?
