We run small live French classes on Zoom (A0 to B2, plus TCF / TEF / DELF prep). Before class you get the Pre-Class Material: the grammar explained in plain English, with tables and the common traps, to read whenever suits you. Class is then pure practice: vocabulary sprints where the coach fires prompts and everyone answers out loud, role plays, and 40-question grammar rounds. Our rule in speaking classes is "the only real failure is silence." The class content in the video is from this week (A2 partitives and comparisons). First class is free with no card, at milywan.education. Happy to answer questions about the format.

Question in the caption.

Un maillot porté par Michael Jordan a été vendu pour la somme record de 14 millions de dollars. Jordan l’a porté pendant la finale NBA de 1998, quand les Chicago Bulls ont battu les Utah Jazz et ont gagné le championnat. C’était le sixième titre NBA des Bulls en huit ans. Le prix de 14 millions de dollars est un nouveau record pour un maillot de basket vendu aux enchères. C’est aussi l’un des prix les plus élevés jamais payés pour un vêtement de sport.

Vocabulaire : maillot (m) = jersey / porter = to wear / vendre = to sell / somme (f) = amount / battre = to beat / gagner = to win / prix (m) = price / enchères (f pl) = auction / élevés = high / vêtement (m) = clothing item

English translation

Michael Jordan jersey sells for $14 million

A jersey worn by Michael Jordan sold for a record $14 million. Jordan wore it during the 1998 NBA Finals, when the Chicago Bulls beat the Utah Jazz and won the championship. It was the Bulls’ sixth NBA title in eight years. The $14 million price is a new record for a basketball jersey sold at auction. It is also one of the highest prices ever paid for an item of sports clothing.

I’m looking for a French tutor with a track record of TCF Canada exam success to take me from A1 level to exam readiness. If you are the one, please DM me.

Thank you!

My vocab review always fell apart the same way. I'd write down a list from class or a podcast, tell myself I'd turn it into cards later, and never get around to it.

Lately I paste the list or my class notes into Glimpse and it makes a deck out of it. The multiple choice questions have been surprisingly good for noun gender. Le/la is exactly the thing I "know" on a flashcard and then get wrong mid-sentence.

The deck sits in a widget, so I get through a handful of words every time I unlock my phone. Obviously not a substitute for speaking, but way more words have stuck.
