Are you trying to improve your French fluency? One of the best things you can do is shift your time and focus away from the written French you first encountered in school (what I call âschool Frenchâ) and instead try to get better at spoken French!
Written French and spoken French are almost two different languages, with a different set of ârulesâ. Making the switch isnât always easy, so I thought Iâd help by sharing my best tip for understanding fast spoken French, no matter your level. Can you guess what it might be? Watch the video to find out!
Let me know in the comments â did you notice this before it was pointed out to you? What are your biggest struggles when it comes to understanding fast spoken French?
Take care and stay safe.
