Salut! Today you're learning one of the keys to sounding natural in French — liaison, where a normally silent consonant gets pronounced when the next word starts with a vowel. Video below vous êtes / vous avez / ils ont / nous avons — liaison with être and avoir ils arrivent / elles arrivent — liaison with ils and elles verbs un ami / mon ami / mon école — liaison with un, mon, ton, son bon appétit / grand homme / petit ami — liaison with bon, grand, petit les amis / des idées / mes enfants / nos amis — liaison with les, des, mes, nos dans un appartement / en arrivant — liaison after prepositions très important / plus utile — liaison with adverbs deux amis / trois amis — liaison with numbers tout est prêt / tout à coup — liaison with tout petit à petit — a classic fixed expression The rule to remember: the silent consonant at the end of a word wakes up when the next word starts with a vowel or silent h. It's what gives French that smooth, flowing sound! Do you know of some other liaison that I didn't put there ? Write them in the comments below!

Salut! Today you're learning four distinctly French sounds and the different ways they can be spelled. Video below Le son CH — like the "sh" in English ch → cheval / sch → schéma Le son J — a soft, buzzing sound (no English equivalent) j → jour / g → manger, girafe, génial (g makes this sound before e, i, or y) Le son R — the famous French R, made at the back of the throat r → rouge, partir, gare Le son GN — like the "ny" in "canyon" gn → montagne, oignon, gagner, compagnon Once you feel comfortable with these, you'll start hearing them everywhere!

Salut! Today you're learning parler — and with it, the pattern that unlocks hundreds of French verbs all at once. Video below Parler — To speak / To talk Je parle — I speak / I talk Tu parles — You speak / You talk Il / Elle / On parle — He / She / We speaks Nous parlons — We speak / We talk Vous parlez — You speak / You talk (formal / plural) Ils / Elles parlent — They speak / They talk 👉 Same endings every time: -e, -es, -e, -ons, -ez, -ent Here's the big takeaway: parler is a regular -er verb, and almost every verb ending in -er follows this exact same pattern. Learn this once and you can conjugate aimer (to love), manger (to eat), travailler (to work), and hundreds more. (90% of all verb) Verbs ending in -ir and -re are a different story — most of them don't follow a single pattern, which is why we learn those ones individually!
