0:33 - Donât worry about your âRâ

6:39 - The final pronunciation struggle: Nasal Sounds
10:54 - Final Quiz
When you were first introduced to French, were you taught to memorize conjugation tables? Maybe you even have flashbacks of studying for a quiz on le passé simple?
I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that by focusing on these things, school French unintentionally sets you up for failure to make fast progress in speaking and understanding everyday French. The GOOD news is that you can forget some of that complicated grammar if your goal is spoken French fluency.
In todayâs lesson, Iâll show you some examples of how spoken French grammar is different from written French grammar. Iâll also tell you what to focus on versus what to ignore so that you can become more fluent in spoken French.
Take care and stay safe.
