đĄ At Comme une Française, we focus only on the specifics of speaking, understanding, and being understood in everyday French, and we have unique ways to help you learn it properly and faster. Part of this means telling you what you can STOP learning to prioritize whatâs really important if you want to make fast progress.
One way I do this is pointing out mistakes you might be making that arenât so obvious to you as a non-native speaker. Take direct translations, for example. When congratulating someone in English, you might tell them: âwell done.â Which, of course, is âbien faitâ in French. But saying âbien faitâ to someone might actually be a little⊠awkward.
In todayâs lesson, Iâll explain why âbien faitâ isnât the proper expression to use when congratulating someone in Fernch. Iâll also tell you what you can use isntead, with plenty of opportunities to practice these replacement expressions.
0:00 - Intro
0:38 - What âBien faitâ really means
3:26 - âBien faitâ : positive?
6:23 - âFĂ©licitations !â - Congratulating someone in French
8:46 - Practice with me: Quizzes & Pronunciation
