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.

Note: I sometimes use Busuu here and there. Level 16 on the first page on Busuu. Thats it (I've watched 8 episodes of Miraculous ladybug so far, I like the french voice actors)

Sorry if confusing

Maybe find the Astérix movies (the cartoons) or the episodes of Les Aventures de Tintin. maybe they're a bit old, but I think the elocution is clear enough for you to understand.

#

Or maybe not lol if you're a beginner. Anyways, you should give it a look.

yeah, if you don't know basic words, i think time is probably better spent working through a beginners textbook

#

watching shows in french is great! but if you don't even basic vocabulary, then I think devoting some time to achieving that is pretty useful

Have a look over these, LawlessFrench and Kwiziq will likely be your best friends for building up a solid foundation, and Wordreference for vocab

#

you're not wasting your time, and you'll probably have a much better foundation than people who take french classes for years but hear very little actual french

I expected the show to be trash which is why I picked it

language learning like any skill is ultimately something that must be figured out for yourself

#

comprehensible input is basically the motto of modern language pedagogy

#

and the growing consensus is that learning a language is basically just achieving comprehensible input

#

that's why doing something as simple as watching a show might actually get you closer to understanding french than someone who's taken 2 years of classes and can pass tests but does not actually understand french

#

that being said, if you're at a very basic level, the fastest way to grow what's comprehensible to you is by reading easier sentences and intentionally memorizing basic vocabulary

#

so it's not the most efficient way to learn french at the beginning, but it's definitely better than the alternative which is to memorize many things but become discouraged because you don't have a way to actually put them into practice

#

in any case, the most important thing is to not get discouraged, so if you feel like you're moving too slowly, then i would say change it up a little bit

#

you wanna find what works for you

# sharp forum language learning like any *skill* is ultimately something that must be figured ...

I agree, however I noticed there is a different language in your bio. I've noticed lots of people, notably Europeans speak multiple languages. I was extremely monolingual, I had to re-learn what Partitive (du and de la) and definite articles (la, les) I think it would be a great idea to have experienced people guide me with reommendations like using lawless french texts and pdf textbooks

#

I completely forgot what adverbs were as well. But it is a good idea to find out what works for me. I just need to know what all the possible resources are so I can pick my own plan

#

you'll figure out what's discouraging, but you need to remember many things to speak a language

#

if you can just watch a tv show to learn a language, great

#

most people can't

#

a textbook will give you structure and introduce you to the basics

Good news I logged on ''mllewilliams.pbworks.com'' through the lawless text, I am currently on waiting list. I need to sign up to access

Yea there's mieux and meilleur

frank flame
#

Mieux is an adverb and meilleur is an adjective. They are both the comparative and superlative forms of bien and bon respectively. There, it should help you.

Except you can say c'est mieux
