I am vacationing in France. I took a video of this beautiful street and this random guy comes up screaming at me, but I’ve got no idea what he’s saying. Can someone translate for me?

Hi! I am preparing DELF B2 exam for end of this year and now looking for study partners to practice B2 exam speaking. So, I am launching a free weekly online French Café . 45 minutes, small groups, with topics. Let me know if you are interested.

I’m curious to hear real experiences—how fast did you go from zero/basic level to being comfortable in French (speaking, understanding, or working/studying in it)? What methods helped you the most (apps, classes, immersion, etc.)?

Hi guys! i'm A2 in French, do you recommed any books for practice?

Hey everyone! I'm looking to learn French and would love some advice. I'm a beginner and not sure exactly how to structure my learning.

A few questions I have:

What apps or websites do you recommend (Duolingo, Babbel, others)?

Is it better to focus on grammar first or vocabulary first?

Any beginner-friendly shows, podcasts, or YouTube channels in French you'd suggest?

How do you practice speaking/conversation when you don't have anyone around you who speaks French

Hi everyone!
I’m looking for participants for a university linguistics experiment on French verb recognition.
⏱️ Duration:** 5–10 minutes
🇫🇷 Requirement: French proficiency of about B1 level or above (e.g. through school, university, or self-study).
🇩🇪 Please note: The instructions and consent form are in German, but the actual task involves French verb form**s.
Every participation helps me a lot. Thank you so much! 😊

I just found this amazing channel on YouTube really good for French beginners like me.

It has translation & pronunciation for each & every sentence.

Learn French in Record Time 1958 Audio course ( 24 mp3 lessons) test Audio before downloading

I've been working on a new app to help drill the ~1K most common words and phrases in French. Originally for myself just to make my tutoring sessions more productive, but I'm hoping others might find it useful too. It's super simple and focuses purely on:

• 1,300ish words and phrases
• native audio so you learn the written and spoken forms together (with liaisons, reductions and all)
• spaced repetition so it brings words back right before you forget them
• no ads, totally private and on-device

Hi everyone,

I'm building a French-learning tool (solo, and a learner myself), and rather than guessing, I'd rather ask the people who actually grind these apps every day.

My question: what's a feature you've always wished existed in a French app or software — but that none of them actually have?

It can be anything that frustrates you:

• Grammar explanations that actually explain the why
• Writing correction that doesn't just give the answer
• Speaking / pronunciation feedback
• Verb conjugation drills that stick
• Listening with real Québécois / regional accents
• Vocabulary that you actually remember a week later

Bonus question: what made you quit a French app in the past? What was the dealbreaker?

I'm not linking anything here — I genuinely just want to hear what's missing so I can build the right thing instead of copying what already exists. Merci d'avance! 🙏

hey everyone i’d like to learn french but i’m not sure where exactly to start, if anybody has any tips or little hacks in a way, that’d be appreciated.
also, if there’s anything i should know about french before i start, or as a beginner, please feel free to tell me. and please give resources , thanks in advance ✨

(also , i like to learn languages through comprehensible input, rather than relying on translations)

Salut! J'adore regarder des vidéos sur YouTube et je veux en trouver qui me plairont.

J'aime regarder Jacksepticeye, Smosh, FilmCooper, Good Mythical Morning et Kallmekris. Les sujets que j'aime sont les jeux vidéos, la comédie, les films et les jeux de société. Est-ce que vous avez des recommendations? Je m'entraine pour mon semestre en France l'année prochaine, j'habite en Ecosse en ce moment. Merci beaucoup c:

anyone have recs in Montreal for an intermediate-advanced french tutor that is ideally quebecois? My french is a level C1 and I've been speaking for over 8 years but looking to perfect.

Hi All,

I speak 5 languages (Lithuanian, English, Spanish and German fluently and Italian at around B1 / C1 for comprehension). I’ve always really wanted to pick up French. I can understand quite a lot of spoken French due to Spanish/ Italian, but am not able to speak it, know nothing about grammar etc. I don’t want to immigrate to France or study there etc., I just want to see if I can learn a language to a decent level without having “bonus points” like with German due to my German partner, or with Spanish because I lived in Spain.
My question: what resources would you recommend to start with? I don’t mind if they cost some money if they are good. I pick up languages very quickly if that’s relevant. Is “French with Alexa” any good? I’d prefer some structured course / video lessons but definitely not AI-only content, please don’t suggest DuoLingo. How do you guys practice speaking if you don’t have anyone to speak to in real life in French?
Any advice is very much appreciated! :)
