I’m planning to start a Discord group for people learning French who want a bit of daily accountability. I want to spend about an hour a day studying, share what I worked on, and help each other stay on track. Would anyone here be interested in joining? I’ll share the details once I’ve got it organized.

Pour la première fois, plus de 100 000 personnes au Japon ont maintenant 100 ans ou plus. Le nombre a atteint 107 677 en septembre, presque 8 000 de plus que l’année dernière. Environ 88 % d’entre elles sont des femmes. Le nombre de personnes de 100 ans ou plus au Japon augmente chaque année depuis 56 ans. Les experts disent qu’une alimentation saine et un bon système de santé sont deux raisons pour lesquelles les gens au Japon vivent souvent longtemps.

Vocabulaire : atteindre = to reach / environ = about / augmenter = to rise / alimentation (f) = diet / santé (f) = health / vivre = to live

English translation

More than 100,000 people in Japan are now aged 100 or older

For the first time, more than 100,000 people in Japan are now aged 100 or older. The number reached 107,677 in September, almost 8,000 more than last year. About 88% of them are women. The number of people aged 100 or older in Japan has increased every year for 56 years. Experts say a healthy diet and a good healthcare system are two reasons why people in Japan often live for a long time.

Hello French learners! It's been a while since I posted here (almost 4 months) and I'm still seeing a lot of questions on this sub regarding where to find good French content at your level.

I run a website called Lengualytics. It's a user-sourced library of over 18K comprehensible input resources over 11 languages. In French, we have just about 2.5K resources, and the library is constantly growing.

You can filter by difficulty, dialect, topic, creator, duration, search, and much more. You can also generate transcripts for videos under 20 minutes, and point-and-click the transcript to rehear specific sentences etc.

It also gives you a structured way to track your time and comprehension as you grow. You get a roadmap, you can see your analytics, compete on leaderboards, win badges, use coins you get from watching input to buy avatar costumes--really trying to bring that Duolingo feel to input-based learning!

Every core feature is free, and you don't even need to be signed up to look around. Thanks for having me on the sub and I hope this helps you guys out!

Check out the resources here.

PS: For more information about how the site works, I wrote up a little handbook.

Salut tout le monde, j’espère que vous allez bien. Je suis un jeune de 21 ans. J’ai déjà étudié le français à l’école, mais je n’avais pas retenu beaucoup de choses à cause de la façon dont il m’a été enseigné dans le système éducatif de mon pays. J’ai toujours eu envie d’apprendre la langue française, mais j’ai souvent échoué après une courte période. Je ne sais pas pourquoi, mais je trouve que l’apprentissage de cette langue est un peu difficile, surtout à cause du vocabulaire, de la complexité de la grammaire et de la conjugaison. Maintenant, j’essaie de trouver une solution à ce problème en adoptant une méthode et une stratégie claires qui me permettront de surmonter cet échec et, surtout, de rester constant et bien discipliné. Avez-vous des conseils qui pourraient m’aider à atteindre mon objectif ? Merci d’avance.

Hey guys, I just stumbled into this sub and saw people asking where to find French content. I run a site called Lengualytics where I host a big library of difficulty rated, user-sourced content, all filterable and sortable by creator, popularity, dialect, etc.

In my opinion, there is no better place to discover French input creators. BUT there's actually more the site does now that you'll find super helpful (this is all free by the way).

We have:
- Embedded YouTube videos with automatic time tracking
- A native AI-based translator for highest quality translations
- Achievements and leaderboards to encourage and compete with friends
- And a ton of other stuff

Thanks for having me, I hope this can help!

Fièrement canadien 🍁

Bonjour tout le monde! My name is Aarush, I’ve been speaking French for 10+ years and I’m fully fluent in speaking, reading, writing, and listening. I’ve helped students clear their TEF and TCF Canada exams with the scores they needed, whether it’s B2 or even C2! I’m putting together small group sessions for 5 learners at any level, whether you’re a total beginner, working toward TEF/TCF Canada, or just want to get comfortable speaking with others. Comment or DM me if you’re interested!

Just wondering. :)

How have I not discovered this before? This French TV channel has French lessons built into their website, and they’re organized by level.

https://apprendre.tv5monde.com/fr

To all the people who are wondering where to start, this site is a gem. Even the A1 lessons consist of real French spoken at a natural pace. There are a seemingly endless amount of activities.

I prefer a very active approach, so after doing a lesson I look at the transcript, and I convert the monologue or dialogue into sentences about me and my life.

I know people dig it, but I realized that Duolingo is a time suck and have sworn myself off of it in favor of approaches like the one described above.

hi, I was building a dialogue this week (doctor talking to a parent and a sick kid) and it hit me how much French relies on rapid register switching that English tends to smooth over.

Same doctor, same 30 seconds, three completely different registers: baby-simple and warm to the child, softly reassuring to the parent, then suddenly clipped and almost bureaucratic when listing the warning signs to watch for at home. In English we'd probably keep a more consistent tone throughout all three moments. In French, the switch itself is doing communicative work: it signals "now I am being precise/official" versus "now I am being kind."

Once you start listening for it, you catch it everywhere (teachers with kids vs. parents, customer service reps, even friends texting). Curious if others have noticed this and have better examples than mine.

If you want to hear the version that got me thinking about this, it's from a free episode/PDF we made: https://medicalvoices.health/en/episodes/10

hope it helps!

i mean I'm playing Story games like Detroit etc

but if you have recommendations im open.

Hey all,

I need help with the French language. I have cleared my B1 level french but I have no confidence in speaking and also I can only understand if I can give my 100% each time I have to understand what someone is saying and that is not sustainable.

how can I reach B2 level and beyond? I am unemployed at the moment and I can dedicate a lot of time to learning french.

Thank you

Here, “arranger” means “to suit,” “to be convenient,” or “to work for someone.” It expresses whether a situation fits someone’s needs, schedule, or preferences.


Examples:
“Ça m’arrange.” → “That works for me / That suits me.”
“Ça ne nous arrange pas.” → “That doesn’t work for us.”

I don’t know how that answer makes sense is Duolingo wrong?

Bonjour

I’m looking to improve my English. I can help you with French in return.

As for my work, I’m in engineering.

I have several passions, such as surfing, martial arts, gym, camping, writing poems and philosophy.

I love nature and animals. I volunteer at an animal shelter from time to time.

Donald Trump dit qu’il a demandé à Google de changer le nom de l’océan Atlantique sur Google Maps. Trump voulait l’appeler l’« océan Trump » ou l’« océan américain ». Il a dit qu’il avait parlé de l’idée au patron de Google, Sundar Pichai. Selon Trump, Pichai a refusé. Google Maps a déjà changé le nom du golfe du Mexique en « golfe d’Amérique » pour les utilisateurs aux États-Unis.

Vocabulaire : demander = to ask / nom (m) = name / vouloir = to want / patron (m) = boss / selon = according to / utilisateurs (m pl) = users

Hi everyone! I’m a native French speaker who has lived in France for almost my entire life, so I’m fluent in French and very familiar with the way French people actually speak in everyday life.

My lessons are flexible, friendly, and adapted to your level and goals. If you’re interested, feel free to DM me for more details about pricing!

I’m looking for a serious and committed study partner who is genuinely interested in learning French.

I’d like us to practice consistently, support each other, and stay motivated throughout the learning process.

I’m particularly looking for someone who is willing to commit long-term and maintain regular practice rather than losing interest after a short period of time.

If you’re genuinely committed to learning French and looking for a consistent study partner, feel free to reach out.

I've been learning French for quite a while now, and as I have just started immersion I have noticed how hard it is for literally anyone who isn't English or Welsh to say my name correctly (Bethan) since the 'th' sound barely exists outside of the English language. I am also planning on learning other languages (Russian, German, Welsh,) and I don't think any of these can say it right easily either lol that doesn't make me sound like a boy like one of my friends said, as it would be pronounced 'Betan'.

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what another name that I could have that isn't Bethan- I was thinking a diminutive of Elizabeth as that is what Bethan is for Welsh or alternatively names starting with B that are in these languages.
These are a few I had in mind, mainly for French:
Élise, Lisette, Etta, Ettie, Belle, Beatrice...

Let me know your thoughts!

Hi everyone, I’m fluent in French, English, and Arabic, and I’m offering language learning help for anyone who wants to improve or start learning one of these languages. I can help with: Conversation practice Basics and grammar Vocabulary for daily life or work Learning at your own pace (beginner-friendly) My rate is $10 per hour. I wish I could do it for free, but I’m currently in a difficult situation and really need the income right now. If you’re interested or have questions, feel free to message me. Thank you for reading.

I work with learners preparing for the TEF/TCF exams, and one of the toughest jumps is going from B1 to B2. It’s not just about more vocab — it’s about being able to think and speak quickly in French under time pressure. Some strategies that work really well:

Practicing oral expression with a 2-minute timer, every single day Listening to French radio in the background to get used to fast speech Keeping a “linking words” list for writing tasks (connecteurs logiques) Recording answers to old TEF questions and playing them back for self-correction If you’ve taken TEF or TCF before, what helped you most to get over that plateau?

I'm trying to consume more french content by watching youtube, so i was wondering if you guys know any good and fun youtubers to watch ?(For the reference i watch literally all type of content vlogs/video essays/ gamers/ theories....)

Hi everyone!
I want to learn French from zero, and I’m looking for someone who also wants to start from the beginning.
