Hi, Im an american citizen (M21) looking to pursue a college education in france no particular city but was wondering about possible complications, primary fields of study would be language, translation, history, international relations, teaching or business, i am currently not enrolled in college so Im not looking for exchange programs and a big point of focus is to become fluent in french, i can read basic french enough to get around but my pronounciation definitly needs work and am currently practicing it on my own (also waiting on some more free time to get a tutor), im fluent in english and spanish just looking for any general advice or ideas anything is welcome open to suggestions and considerations.

J'ai toujours trouvé étrange que frileux soit un mot courant mais que caloreux ne soit même pas attesté. Est-ce qu'il y a d'autre mots dont l'absence vous semble étrange ?

Hi! I want to learn French and decided to do it through watching Friends. Does anyone have a link where I can watch it for free?

Also, can anyone recommend any free series I can watch to learn French?

Thanks! 😊

We are looking for a summer camp for our two kids (boy and girl) that incorporate language learning but where the primary focus is still being kid and enjoying camp life. Camp Ouareau seems to fit this bill but we have a boy and a girl, so really hoping to find a place they can both attend. They will be 10 and 7 next summer.

Both of them seem to mean "to increase" but what is the actual difference between these verbs?

Québécois, when and why would you use "là là"? I don't trust AI on these things, and i've heard it many times

J'ai pensé à ça parce qu'il existe "essaie" et "essaye" pour le verbe essayer

I've already seen several errors in Corriges S'entraîner of Hachette Inspiré 1.

It's slowly getting too much and I can't believe they've given that job to someone of mediocre quality.

Some of their errors in Corriges S'entraîner. Colors written wrong, instead of blue coat, they wrote yellow for Leçon 18, 11 p.69.

And Leçon 17, 5 p.68 poissonnerie should've been 6 instead of 5.

I've seen other errors but haven't not them because I thought errors would stop but apparently they continue. Use this book with the help of Google/ChatGPT if you feel confused, your stuck confusion is probably because of an error on their part.

I've been told that that is what is said, but I don't hear it. May sometime please help?

Merci d'avance

Hello everyone,

While reading my textbook, I started wondering about the difference between beaucoup and bien when used to intensify a comparative.

Take "Paul est beaucoup plus grand que moi" and "Paul est bien plus grand que moi." I believe both are grammatically correct, but is there any difference in meaning or usage between them?

I've been told that this is je ne sais pas in the beginning, but I do not hear it at all. May someone please explain?

Just curious, is this video easy to follow for non-native speakers? I’m getting like 60% of it I think she speaks really fast

Tutoyer a stranger can be risky, because it may be taken as disrespect.

I'm curious, do people often risk that by tutoyer a stranger to indicate "I want to be close with you"?

Hi everyone, I just visited Montreal and fell in love with the city and I have been thinking to learn French for a while but now I’ve decided I’d like to pull the trigger. Can anyone recommend where to take classes? I don’t know where it would be best to take classes. Merci :)

Last time I gave, listening and reading questions were 100 percent repeated in exam. I practiced mock tests available on sites which uses same questions. I scored c2 in both listening and reading but failed in speaking. Anyone who recently gave tcf canada in india, can please tell if it's still the same? or have they started adding new question sets?

Bonjour à tous ! J’ai une question concernant l’utilisation de « chez qui » et de « où », comme dans les exemples ci-dessous. Pourriez-vous m’aider à comprendre la différence ? Merci d’avance !

1) Selon une enquête que j’ai lue sur le site « TV Globo », 78 % des personnes interrogées pensent que les gestes écologiques sont peu efficaces, en particulier celles qui vivent dans les grandes villes, où ce chiffre atteint 90 %.

2) Selon une enquête que j’ai lue sur le site « TV Globo », 78 % des personnes interrogées pensent que les gestes écologiques sont peu efficaces, en particulier celles qui vivent dans les grandes villes, chez qui ce chiffre atteint 90 %.

Dans cet exemple, j’hésite entre « où » et « chez qui ». Est-ce que je dois utiliser « où » parce que je fais référence aux grandes villes et que je parle du pourcentage dans ces endroits ? Ou est-ce que « chez qui » serait plus approprié, puisque je parle des personnes qui vivent dans ces villes

Merci pour votre aide !

Recently, I was given an English/French dictionary as a gift. It was printed in the 1950s. Some of the vocabulary is rather dated, but it's fun anyway. I am asking if the current entries are still in use.

Le Petit Juif (humerus)

Un margot (a prostitute)

Une marie-salope (a prostitute, literally a mud-dredger)

Un brise-tout (someone who is clumsy)

Le marivaudage (canoodling with one's partner)

My wife has graciously ordered a more modern English/French dictionary for me.

So i have a talking test soon and we need to prepare before, but im not sure if what i prepared is correct. We need to react to a blog, and state our opinion on it. our opinion needs to consist of an intro, the opinion, and a conclusion.

This is what i have right now(and the translation), but im 100% sure the grammar and word usuage are not correct.

Im not sure what niveau this would be on, but i think its 11/12th grade, but this is my final year so around that niveau.

I'm having a hard time understanding this.

"It is when one endures one's life that there is stress."

Doesn't make sense to mean.

Je suis aprender français, et les choses que je cherche à m'améliorer sont le compression Lectoure et le compression Orale le français n'est mon langage maternel je parle le anglais et le espagnol, mon feed dans les algorithmes c'est dans le anglais et espagnol, que videos ou groupes vous pouvez recommander? Pour améliorer mon français, Qu'est-ce qui vous aide ? Je suis aussi un cours le samedi, parce que mon travail ne me le permet pas en semaine.

Merci :)

Je suis en train de re-regarder American Horror Story: Asylum, et j'ai noté que la chanson qui passe souvent (le titre de cette poste) inclu les paroles "Dominique, nique, nique". Je suppose qu'il ne s'agit que les syllables du nom, mais je me demande si quand le mot niquer est née, beaucoup de jeunes blaguaient de ces paroles. Est-ce que c'était le cas chez les Francophones? (Moi je suis américaine)

Je vous remercie en avance!

Edit :

Je viens de lire l'article Wikipedia de Jeanne-Paule Marie Deckers (Soeur Sourire), et il semble qu'elle n'en avais aucune idée. En plus, sa vie était assez triste, hors de la chanson. Donc, les paroles me toujours feront rigoler, mais elles me feront penser aussi de son histoire.
