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 ?

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

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

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.

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

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

Merci d'avance

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 noted 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.

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 :)

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.

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?

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.

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 !

Hey so long story short some family friends are French French and they call one of the grandparents “mononcle” (pronounced like mon uncle) and I’ve been trying to figure out if this is just a family thing or not because I have searched the internet and haven’t found anything about it

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?

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 think "former" has a better connotation than "ex" in English. I think if you say "my former wife", you're more likely trying to imply that you are still on good terms with her. If you say "ex wife", you are more likely trying to imply that you dislike her. These are not necessities, but definitely something I've noticed.

I wonder if this is also the case in French?
