Oh la la, Tuesday’s lesson on “How to learn a second language as an adult” changed students’ lives! I feel SO proud when French learners tell me about their huge aha moments.

As this topic had such a big impact, I thought I’d give you more! So here’s a lesson specifically on French conversation rules.

At the end, I’ll show you 2 examples of French conversations and you’ll test yourself on what makes them “sound French”. We’ll go deep into the specific differences.

Let's begin!

ABOUT GÉRALDINE

Hi! I’m Géraldine Lepère, the founder of Comme une Française (= “Like a French woman”) and your new French best friend. :)

Each Tuesday, I share a fun, fresh and bite-sized lesson on French language and French culture–from embarrassing mistakes to avoid to pop-cultural references to “get” !

For over five years now, with millions of views and students in over 56 countries, I’ve been helping people just like you gain the confidence to really talk in French. And better than the “textbook” French from high school!
