Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

So, the best way (in my opinion) to learn vocabulary is basically by reading a lot of french, playing games, listening to music, watching videos or movies, basically whatever thing that can work for you, buy at least two or three books:

1. the first one to note in vocabulary
2. the second one for grammar (like verb conjugation)
3. the third one can be an outro or for the two ones above

In other to speak french, I recommend you to break down the phonetics of it in this way:

1. Diphtongs (ai, ei, eu, eau, au, aux...)
2. Silent Vowels & Consonants
3. Liasion (mes amis sounds like mezami)
4. Silent Consonant Clusters (oeufs, loups)
5. Nasal Sounds (since I speak portuguese, I got those really easily; but if you don't, listen to french and try copying the way they speak (in, an, en))
6. French R (this one is actually very easy, just imagine yourself snoozing, and then put this sound in words like merci, professeur, voiture)

Note that all of these rules can be broken in informal speech or some words, so I reinforce you to always immerse yourself into the common-daily spoken language, since it can largely differ from the common-textbook language you see on Duolingo or other formal learning tools
