Hi everyone :) I am currently part of a team starting online French courses. This month, we are launching a few free trial lessons to get the business going. Tomorrow, June 10th at 6pm (Paris time, UTC +2) will be our first lesson aimed at beginner level French learners (A1). Lessons are taught in French and English. Please follow roadtofrenchacademy on Instagram for information on joining!! Your attendance and input is very helpful for us. Share this with anyone interested!

So, I’ve been learning French for 80 days now, and I know the basics, like “garçon,” “fille,” “chien,” “cheval,” “chat,” “femme,” “travaille,” “habite,” “étudie,” “elle a un billet d’avion” “tu as une valise” and so on. I’ve learned some basic words in French, and I’m interested in taking my learning further. I’ve been using Duolingo, and I’ve learned many basic words. I’m looking to get French books specifically at the A1-A2 level. I have a book called “Heather in Paris,” but it’s too advanced because it’s at the B1-B2 level. I was hoping to find a storybook that helps you learn French, but I don’t know which one. I need more ways to learn, but I’m not sure what to do and what books i can get that aren’t totally boring. I want to learn more!

Salut ! I am hoping someone can help explain this conjugation svp. I want to say she puts makeup on the actresses before filming begins. I wrote « Je maquille les actrices avant le tournage commence. » I did put it into Google translate to double check myself and got this: « Elle maquille les actrices avant que le tournage ne commence. ». I'm not sure where the que or ne come from. Appreciate any insight. Merci beaucoup.

I'm looking for " petit nicolas en vacances" with English subs to play in my class, if anyone has it, it would be great if you can share. Merci en avance❤️

Can somebody tell me are those correct? I need to replace underlined words with y

i’m in that awkward phase where i understand enough french to get by, but speaking still scares me i do small daily practice and those quick speaking drills on issen help a bit, but the confidence part is still hard. how did you guys push past that stage?

I'm hoping to get a tattoo soon and was thinking about the phrase "Condamné à être libre".

I know the full quote is "L'homme est condamné à être libre". But if I only got the second half of this phrase tattooed, would that still be grammatically correct?

Hey everyone! I've been learning French for a while and recently published 2 super affordable e-books that I wish I had when I started out.

    Real French – Mastering Slang & Street Talk     Perfect if you want to sound more natural and understand what native speakers actually say. Covers slang, street phrases, and real-life convos.     🔗 [https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0F314RXH7]

    Mastering French Vocabulary: 1001 Essential Words with Phonetic Pronunciations     A vocabulary builder aimed especially at beginners and early learners. Each word comes with a pronunciation guide to help you say it right.     🔗 [https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0F3MCNW6V]

Both are only £1.80 and I'd be really grateful if anyone checked them out or left a review if you find them useful. I think only the paperback version can be bought via the app and the e-book has to be ordered through the internet rather than the app! Always happy to chat French slang or vocab too! 😊

Howdy! I have a question about gender neutral possessive pronouns. So it seems "iel" is the gender neutral pronoun for nonbinary people, a combination of "il" & "elle". I was trying to say someone is "my dear", but is there an option that isn't either "ma cherie" or "mon cher"? Eager to learn about language that's evolving!

Add me on duolingo if you are.

I really would like to know about grammar and daily expressions

Hello, I hope everyone is doing great and I wish you all a merry Christmas! For this occasion, I made a video, on my channel FriendlyFrench, about some important words you should know when it comes to Christmas. I'm still a beginner, but I intend to help as many people as possible around the world. Could you please give me feedback, tell me what you think of the video and give me constructive criticisms? I thank you very much.

1. I am doing an article about what a foreigner is interested to learn about French culture . It could be language or French pop culture. Any help will be appreciated.

I know this may be a silly question, but how are questions commonly asked? I know that est-ce is the way that’s taught, but I’ve also seen inversion used like “vas-tu?”. What’s common in day to day French?

I have to listen to sentences and type them out as part of this hw assignment and I'm having some issues. Some of the words I recognize, but it reads really quickly and I'm having difficulties. A poor transliteration (what it sounds like to me, not what it is in French), is this:

​

Ce sont trois un très à légume.

Dans sa salon et lan très le tapis.

Le salle à manger à tasse grande po-sa-soon vay tay.

Suzanne un besoin du le un studio nos une résidence universitaire.

Set gross fam rohs set une chanteuse rona cahbla.

So spectacle le tay musam et interressant.

​

Help please! What are these sentences actually saying?
