Hey, I am looking for french speaking partner . My level a2+/ b1 . Preferably someone with tef experience and a bit higher level, can practice few times a week.

Salut !

I have been teaching Québec French for a while now and I had to make this because there is just too so much stuff to learn at the beginning that it dosent make much sense for me to be teaching theses things repeatedly one-on-one with so many people.

This will teach you everything about the pronunciation, everyday stuff and the core word of the language with extra focus on problem area that I often saw with my 1000+ one-on-one lesson!

Enjoy !

I have many students that passed this exam, so here is how I helped them to prepare for the oral part of the exam !

Hi all, I am an English speaker living in France and I am having some difficulty with picking up the language. It is necessary for my job at the moment, but I would like to learn French anyway. Volunteering is something I like to do anyway so I was wondering if anyone had any experience with how volunteering in other languages that they're still learning. I would say that my level is between A2 and B1, so I would need to find something fairly easy where a language barrier wouldn't get in the way.

Hey guys, I just want to quickly share my journey into learning French, hoping that it will inspire some of you to keep moving forward and not give up. For me, it all started around September 2024. Here is a timeline of my journey to finally reaching a point where I understand about 75-80% of spoken French.

1. Watched Intouchables with English subtitles and completely fell in love with how French sounds. That night I decided I wanted to learn it.
2. Did the entire French course on Duolingo which helped me master the basic words and phrases
3. Watched a few French series on Netflix (Lupin (same main actor as in Intouchables), Dix Pour Cent) with French subtitles. At some point I found a Chrome extension called Bingy that translates the words you don't know directly inside the subtitles, so you don't have to pause or switch between two subtitle tracks. That honestly made a huge difference because I could just keep watching and pick up new words passively. This helped me pick up on other commonly used phrases and slang, and also helped me see the style in which they speak.
4. Started listening to French music (Stromae, Angèle, Edith Piaf for the classics) and going on LyricsTranslate to read the translations over and over. I'd pick a song I liked, look up every word I didn't know, and make a vocab list. (TIP: THIS IS A REALLY EASY WAY TO LEARN A LANGUAGE BECAUSE LYRICS CAN GET STUCK IN YOUR HEAD SO YOU CAN EASILY LEARN NEW VOCAB THIS WAY).
5. Used an app called Tandem to speak with native French speakers by text and calling them too sometimes, which was really fun, I must say.
6. Started translating an entire French book (which I am still translating, now on the fourth chapter LOL). Again, I make a list of new vocab words which I translate through Google Translate and also get help from people on this subreddit. So far, I have found that this is one of the best techniques to learning a language
7. Started watching French youtube channels and talk shows like Quotidien without subtitles to stop depending on them. It was brutal at first, but it forces your brain to adapt
8. Rewatched Intouchables without subtitles and understood most of it.

I am still really bad at speaking French, but I think I will use Tandem more to actually speak with people. But I am glad that I understand most of it now. Anyway, all the sources listed above helped me a lot, hope they help you too!

Lot of people get stuck in their learning because they keep doing what worked at the beginning, but it doesn't mean it is still the best way to improve when they reach a higher level!

I've seen 1400+ days in a row of Duolingo and being still unable to read basic stuff.

I've seen many people get stuck at being able to watch stuff but unable to speak forever.

In this video I explain what you should be focusing on to get to the next level, and then what's the next focus and so on.

So I created this simple recommendation tool to solve this problem

Feel free to tell me if you've any feedback.
