How to have a French conversation with natives
So, do you think you can make French conversation in 6 days?
If you have spent months or even years trying to use French in conversation, wondering why it’s so much easier to understand it than to speak it, then you are in the right place.
Read the article to see what you have to do in the next 6 days to get yourself moving on the French conversation front, and listen to the podcast for some conversational French.
The little words
Example:
How to use DE, DE LA, DE L’, DU, DES in conversation
Examples:
« Je mange de la viande. »
« Tu bois de l’eau. »
« Il mange du fromage. » (du = de + le)
« Elle mange des pommes. » (des = de + les)
The genders
In French, there are 2 genders – compared with 3 genders in German, Latin, Romanian (feminine, masculine, neutral).
The masculine nouns are preceded by « le » = the, or « un » = a.
The feminine nouns are preceded by « la » = the, or « une » = a.
The pronunciation
Don’t learn the pronunciation one word at a time, based on what the words mean.
It will take a lot longer to get to speak, and you’ll get very frustrated in the process.
Instead, learn the rules of pronunciation – which, BTW, not many people know – and you’ll be able to read words that you don’t even know yet.
