It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been learning French — eventually, someone will say something that you didn’t understand. Maybe they spoke too fast or used a word that you’re not familiar with... and, unfortunately, you can’t rely on subtitles in real life ;) .
You want to use and practice your French, so of course you don’t want to switch the conversation to English. What can you do instead? I’ll show you in today’s video lesson, with some easy sentences that you can memorize and use whenever you don’t understand what someone just said to you in French.
Take care and stay safe.
😘 from Grenoble, France.
