This page gives you “la parole”, or the floor, as we say in English. You can tell me your problem in the comments and I’ll get right back to you.
If it’s grammar, a certain word, a sentence you’ve heard or even a question about French culture, feel free to ask here.
So let me know where you’re stuck and get some free French help!
helloo
first of all i’d like 2 thank u 4 helping all of us out there struggling with french..
well, i do have a problem understanding the spoken language.. and i dunno wut 2 do about it.. i do speak well and itz kinda embarrassing 2 stand before a french person trying 2 decipher wutever he or she is saying..
another thing, i can’t seem 2 get my head 2 think in french, so wut i do is i think in english and then translate my thoughts 2 french.. i know itz wrong and my phrases do sound funny at times.. not 2 mention the struggle i face when i get stuck with a word that i can’t translate 2 french..
thank u again Mr. Luke! dieu te benisse!
Thanks Alaa, I know what you mean about getting stuck with a word you can’t translate to French! You’ll have to start out by translating your thoughts to French until you have replacement sentences for the things you’d normally say in English.
The main thing it sounds like you’re missing at this point it having that range of things to say in the right situations – you can get that from French books or movies, but best is living and working (immersion) in a French speaking country.
I’ll hopefully have some more to help you with that soon! In the meantime, keep trying
