I've a very specific question, sorry if it is silly. How do you say 'to be good at it' en francais? Is it something like "etre bon en ca"?

Thank you!

You'd probably have to say what you're good at in French, je suis bon(ne) en _____ as je suis bon en ca doesn't sound right to me. Or start out with pour ca, je suis bon to avoid the en ca. Let's see what other posters make of it.

I think it's actually je suis fort(e) en (quelquechose) if I remember rightly.

Oui, on utilise la phrase "je suis fort(e) en (qqc)"....mais "je suis bon(ne) en (qqc)" est aussi acceptable.
