quick dew Feb 25, 2026, 10:01 PM

#

did you get this from a textbook?

#

you should burn it immediately

#

those rules for le and la are just tendencies

#

also every h is mute

#

it's la leçon, not le

magic wyvern Feb 25, 2026, 10:02 PM

#

I get this from textbook he’s

#

Yes

#

#

From*

quick dew Feb 25, 2026, 10:03 PM

#

yeah leçon is the only odd one out here, except "père" but they didn't mention that one

#

but like those rules don't work

magic wyvern Feb 25, 2026, 10:04 PM

#

OK I’ll fix that thank you

#

Oh OK

quick dew Feb 25, 2026, 10:04 PM

#

there's plenty of exceptions

magic wyvern Feb 25, 2026, 10:04 PM

#

OK

quick dew Feb 25, 2026, 10:04 PM

#

le prêtre

#

le manège

magic wyvern Feb 25, 2026, 10:05 PM

#

Oh so how can you tell what to use le or la ?

#

I used chatgpt 💀

quick dew Feb 25, 2026, 10:05 PM

#

you learn it with the noun

quick dew Feb 25, 2026, 10:05 PM

#

magic wyvern I used chatgpt 💀

oh thats why its wrong

magic wyvern Feb 25, 2026, 10:05 PM

#

Oh wow

#

OK thank you

quick dew Feb 25, 2026, 10:05 PM

#

ai will sometimes be wrong but present it in a plausible way

#

;chatgpt

afrancophonie ChatGPT et les autres grands modèles de langage d'IA sont des outils intéressants pour l'apprentissage des langues, mais faillibles. Les informations qu'ils donnent peuvent être erronées, tout en donnant des justifications plausibles pour quelqu'un ne maîtrisant pas la langue. Il ne faut pas les utiliser comme source ultime d'information. Ils peuvent cependant aider à déconstruire une phrase en divers concepts (que vous pouvez ensuite vérifier), donner des traductions contextualisées, et simuler divers interlocuteurs.

anglophonie ChatGPT and other large AI language models are interesting tools for language learning, but they are fallible. The information they provide can be incorrect while offering seemingly logical justifications to someone who does not fully master the language. They should not be used as an endpoint for information. However, they can help deconstruct a sentence into various concepts that you can then verify, provide contextualized translations, and simulate diverse conversational partners.

magic wyvern Feb 25, 2026, 10:06 PM

#

Oh I didn’t see that one

#

So the rules are lies sob

quick dew Feb 25, 2026, 10:07 PM

#

yeah the truth is you should just add an indefinite articles to nouns in your vocabulary lists

#

so un or une

#

bc words that use l' also have a gender

magic wyvern Feb 25, 2026, 10:07 PM

#

But this is correct ?

quick dew Feb 25, 2026, 10:07 PM

#

and you're gonna need to know that for adjectives

magic wyvern Feb 25, 2026, 10:07 PM

#

quick dew bc words that use l' also have a gender

Oh

quick dew Feb 25, 2026, 10:07 PM

#

magic wyvern But this is correct ?

yes

#

works for -al adjectives too

magic wyvern Feb 25, 2026, 10:07 PM

#

Alright

quick dew Feb 25, 2026, 10:07 PM

#

there's other tendencies like that

#

like -ité nouns being feminine

#

-tion nouns being fem

magic wyvern Feb 25, 2026, 10:08 PM

#

Since I’m super beginner, this is confusing since chatgpt lied lol

#

YouTube works

quick dew Feb 25, 2026, 10:09 PM

#

yeah you'll find wrong info on yt a lot more rarely than with an ai

#

if not never

magic wyvern Feb 25, 2026, 10:10 PM

#

So YT works or ?

quick dew Feb 25, 2026, 10:10 PM

#

yeah

magic wyvern Feb 25, 2026, 10:10 PM

#

I mean I have no friends or anything to teach me French in real life

#

OK

#

So far, I fix the le leçon into la.
Remove the le and la rules part

quick dew yeah you'll find wrong info on yt a lot more rarely than with an ai

Well people also make youtube videos with AI and/or google translate

quick dew Feb 25, 2026, 10:11 PM

#

nvm then

magic wyvern Feb 25, 2026, 10:11 PM

#

Yikes

smoky wedge Feb 25, 2026, 10:11 PM

#

I've seen plenty of fully incorrect translations on YouTube

quick dew Feb 25, 2026, 10:11 PM

#

surely big channels are trustworthy

smoky wedge Feb 25, 2026, 10:11 PM

#

People just want a quick buck

magic wyvern Feb 25, 2026, 10:12 PM

#

That’s difficult. The only way best to place to learn French is to go Canada or France💀

#

But I have no money for that

quick dew Feb 25, 2026, 10:12 PM

#

nah

#

you just have to use trusted sources

#

like lawlessfrench

magic wyvern Feb 25, 2026, 10:12 PM

#

I’m planning to go collage in Canada

#

Oh OK

quick dew Feb 25, 2026, 10:12 PM

#

oh thats great if you can make it happen

smoky wedge Feb 25, 2026, 10:12 PM

#

quick dew surely big channels are trustworthy

Depends on how you define big. Some are just churning out AI slop and have a lot of followers because there's a lot of content and they don't know better

magic wyvern Feb 25, 2026, 10:12 PM

#

OK

magic wyvern Feb 25, 2026, 10:13 PM

#

magic wyvern So far, I fix the le leçon into la. Remove the le and la rules part

Am I missing ?

smoky wedge Feb 25, 2026, 10:13 PM

#

Like french courses or learning other stuff in french

quick dew Feb 25, 2026, 10:13 PM

#

magic wyvern Am I missing ?

the rest is fine

#

but as i said, you should learn about indefinite articles and use those for vocabulary

#

because you wanna know the gender of nouns that begin with vowels too

magic wyvern Feb 25, 2026, 10:14 PM

#

quick dew the rest is fine

OK thank you so much

#

Oh OK

smoky wedge Feb 25, 2026, 10:14 PM

#

Fenêtre, not ferêtre

magic wyvern Feb 25, 2026, 10:14 PM

#

Oh my bad

smoky wedge Feb 25, 2026, 10:15 PM

#

Do you know what a mute h is?

magic wyvern Feb 25, 2026, 10:15 PM

#

Silent h right ?

#

No h sound ?

smoky wedge Feb 25, 2026, 10:15 PM

#

H is never pronounced

magic wyvern Feb 25, 2026, 10:15 PM

#

In general ?

smoky wedge Feb 25, 2026, 10:16 PM

#

There are 2 kinds of h:
H muet
H aspiré
Neither is pronounced

magic wyvern Feb 25, 2026, 10:16 PM

#

OK

smoky wedge Feb 25, 2026, 10:16 PM

#

The names are a bit misleading

magic wyvern Feb 25, 2026, 10:16 PM

#

Oh OK got it

#

Thank you so much

smoky wedge Feb 25, 2026, 10:16 PM

#

H aspiré blocks stuff like liaison because it acts as if there's a consonant there

magic wyvern Feb 25, 2026, 10:17 PM

#

OK

smoky wedge Feb 25, 2026, 10:17 PM

#

Usually because it used to be pronounced, either in older versions of the language or if it was taken from another language

#

H muet is more common though so if you're not sure, assume it's muet

magic wyvern Feb 25, 2026, 10:18 PM

#

Yah. It’s quite hard because I’m learning French from France and going to Canada will be different

magic wyvern Feb 25, 2026, 10:18 PM

#

smoky wedge H muet is more common though so if you're not sure, assume it's muet

OK

smoky wedge Feb 25, 2026, 10:18 PM

#

It's mostly the same

#

Sometimes I don't even notice people are from france for a while when talking to them

magic wyvern Feb 25, 2026, 10:18 PM

#

smoky wedge It's mostly the same

But the accent and vocab are different. Quebec is more like slang

smoky wedge Feb 25, 2026, 10:18 PM

#

Lol

magic wyvern Feb 25, 2026, 10:18 PM

#

LOL

#

But I’m still can be confident about it

smoky wedge Feb 25, 2026, 10:19 PM

#

The stuff that differentiates them more is slang. Québécois aren't running around only using slang with everyone they come across

magic wyvern Feb 25, 2026, 10:19 PM

#

Got it

smoky wedge Feb 25, 2026, 10:19 PM

#

99% of the vocab you'll hear and use will be the same

#

Especially as a learner

magic wyvern Feb 25, 2026, 10:20 PM

#

Perfect than

#

Thank you so much

smoky wedge Feb 25, 2026, 10:21 PM

#

The only thing that might confuse you is that quebecois has more vowels

#

French has a lot to start with so it might be a tad overwhelming but you'll adjust
