Speak Fluench

Merci pour ces conversations toujours très intéressantes 🌍

I love that learning languages means connecting, ans creating genuine relationships. Speaking another language is your door to the world ! French is a tool you can use to connect!

Don’t forget to follow Jessica to have a peak at French food culture, and culinary experiences in Lyon 🇫🇷

If you also want to speak French casually, 3 spots are left for the next group conversation session on Friday 26th! All info is on my profile 🔗

This is not my usual content and its longer but after a long conversation with one of my student who is stay-at-home mom, I felt the need to say this out loud.

Should I go more into details about the issues with DELF and introduce TCF to you ?

The fun fact that one participant shared with us during our session of French conversation last Friday was totally unexpected.

And it made me laugh a lot hahaha

Come share your random facts during the next session on June 26th. All the information is on my profile. 📆🔗

French conversation can be empowering and freeing. It gives you the chance to see where you’re at, to see if you’re able to communicate, and most importantly : to have fun in the language you’re studying. 🌷🥰

Merci à Jackie (Irlande), Catarina (Portugal) et Aline (États-Unis) pour leur participation !

Join me and Aline (who already booked her spot) on the 26th of June for a new conversation. Toujours au niveau B1 minimum, le sujet est : l’écologie est-elle vraiment utile ?

Faire faire quelque chose à quelqu’un … ? Faire prendre un bain, faire aiguiser les couteaux, faire pousser des légumes, faire cuire un steak, faire bouillir de l’eau… vous connaissez d’autres exemples ? 🤔😵‍💫

This grammar trick deserves its own proper lesson for next time, I believe you would agree with me ? 🤣

Even though this concept is hard, it unlocks so much options for French speakers. It feels abstract until it clicks and becomes a real tool to use during conversation with natives ! Step by step, we’re getting there 😄

In French, we say : « Petit à petit, l’oiseau fait son nid ».

It means litteraly « Little by little, the bird builds its nest ».

We use it quite litteraly to express a feeling of settling down, building your own comfort zone, which is a situation Jessica () and I both share. She recently moved to Lyon, France from Kansas City, USA; while I moved to Valencia, Spain from Sofia, Bulgaria. ✈️

I also like to use it metaphorically because learning a language, living your life in a foreign language, in that case French, is like building your own nest. It’s getting to know yourself in French, finding your voice and your comfort zone. It’s a long journey but like the bird, you build it twig after twig 🪺🐦‍⬛

3 spots are left I can’t believe it 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲come speak French with me !!!!!

How are you with passé composé and imparfait ??? Mastering these tenses is a long journey but it’s always so rewarding in the end.

Hahahahaha are you kidding?

This is what it’s like living in Valencia, in a bilingual city split between castellano and valenciano

Sigo sobreviviendo con improvisación diaria 🙄
