If you’ve spent any amount of time in France, or even just speaking to native French speakers, you’ve probably picked up on the fact that actual spoken French is almost a completely different language than technical written French.
If you learned French in a school setting, you probably learned some formal words like “cependant” or “néanmoins.” But, just like how you almost never use the word “therefore” in everyday English, we don’t really use this formal, technical language in our everyday conversations.
In today’s lesson, we’ll cover some of this outdated vocabulary and use it as an opportunity to learn more simple words, so you can sound more confident in your French conversations.
Take care and stay safe.
😘 from Grenoble, France.
