This is an amazing resource for people learning French. This website pairs a French learner with a lonely French senior citizen to have conversations over Skype. The student gets to practice speaking French, and the elderly French person gets to have a fun conversation and make a foreign friend!

This seems like SUCH a wholesome, cute way to practice French. You can sign up and choose your French level, choose what times you’re available and how many times you can expect to chat with a French person per week (each call is 30 minutes). The site even gives you conversation topics to help you get started and avoid any awkwardness.

Totally recommend this!! I plan to sign up and practice my (rusty) French. In this pandemic, we can all make new friends and practice French at the same time!

Book recommendation: if you’re self-learning French. I recommend this book! I would say it goes up to about B1 in materials although I’d recommend adding an additional vocabulary book and culture resources (French media).

It much easier to read than many French textbooks in my opinion because it’s more about the essentials. It’s not like a textbook where they put in a super 90s blog entry from a fake student or random culture sections 😂. This one and the « vocabulaire essentiel du français » (Green cover with 100% FLE written on it) have been some of my favorites.

Bonne chance!

I want to vent, really whine, ok throw myself under a bus of disappointment...

Ok so for those who dont know, I have dabbled with language learning. I use duolingo, and Mango and Memerise but I don't use them efficiently. But with Duolingo they have group gatherings or events in your state... And the problem is 98% the french or german gatherings are in Atlanta or stone mountain. But this time it is in Alpharetta which seriously is a 10 minute drive... But here is the thing, when I say I suck at french I mean REALLY suck at it. A baby french child straight out of their mom speaks better than me in my opinion. But also I am a manager in retail so I found out I have to work. Not complaining about working but I am kinda glad that I am because that is the only logical excuse I could give myself for not going... But I am disappointed with myself for not being fluent enough or even at all enough to feel comfortable to go to this first french gathering in Alpharetta which is seriously 10 minute drive from my house.

So I guess I'll have to buckle down and do as much studying and practicing till the next french gathering.

+ Odd Question: Has anyone taken the DELF Exam for proven French fluency?

I want to take the B2 Professional Option French (B1 is definitely too easy and B2 is the minimum fluency for secondary studies in French/ fluency for work, but I need to practice my French because it’s so rusty). I used to go to school in French in elementary school, and when I get back into a French environment, I get back to thinking in French fluently pretty immediately. But I haven’t written a proper essay in French since I was fourteen, and although I lived in a French speaking province for undergrad, I didn’t need to practice my writing really when I worked/ went to school. Anyone who has any insight into the exam (The next one is in November, but I’m thinking of taking it in March as just a side thing and to give me more time/ not so much pressure after finishing law exams) would be appreciated.

Just from listening to some of the audio clips from B1 level to C2, really the only difference is speed and use of more complex vocabulary (I understood as much in C2 as B2, and B1 is just ridiculously slow and more easy to understand). I probably just need to work on speed listening, writing, and speaking, because I’ve been in Australia the past three years and literally did not need to use my French once besides fooling around with some mates. Still, my fluency is there in just understanding people talking without even meaning to eavesdrop, so I just need to get back to studying French a little more academically than previously.

If any one has any tips, that would be amazing! ♥
