Salut ! "Aujourd'hui j'ai fait les points 1.1 et 2.1 dans "FSI French phonology", j'ai étudié 50 mots dans Anki et commencé (à regarder) un film français sur Netfix. Ce n'était pas mon jour le plus productif, mais je suis quand même allé passer du temps avec un ami français, qui, malheureusement part/partira en France ce mardi." Quelques points : - ta grammaire et ton orthographe sont tous les deux très bon ! Les seules erreurs que tu as faites sont soit des erreurs de vocabulaire ou bien l'ordre des mots est bizarre. Par contre, ton texte est parfaitement compréhensible, donc aucun soucis de ce côté-là. Continue comme ça ! - Les compléments de phrase (CP) comme "aujoud'hui", "hier", "demain" etc se placent généralement en début de phrase - "1.1 et 2.1" : il manque "les points", autrement ça fait bizarre. Par exemple on dit : les points a), b), c) - I) II) etc. - ", étudié" n'est pas faux, mais ça mieux si après une virgule tu répètes le pronom. Après une conjonction de coordination ("Mais où est donc Ornicar" = mais, où, et, donc, ni, car) il n'y généralement pas besoin. - commencer un film / commencer à regarder un film, c'est quasi la même chose :), c'estpour ça que je l'ai mis entre parenthèses - "regarder sur Internet". "regarder sur x-chaîne" Exemple : j'ai regardé un film sur Canal + - j'ai enlevé "Aujourd'hui", vu qu'il était déjà dans la première phrase et qu'on sait que c'est "aujourd'hui". - "mon jour le plus productif". "mon/ma + nom + superlatif". Superlatif = le/la plus + adjectif - "hanging out" = passer du temps avec. Si quelqu'un a d'autre suggestions... - "un" ami français. Ce n'est peut-être pas une faute. Mais ton ami français, on ne le connaît pas (tu ne le mentionnes pas avant). Si tu l'as fait avant, dans un autre texte, pardonnes-moi :D - , qui, (ajout d'information, comme en anglais) - tristement = malheureusement = unfortunately - partir en France - ce mardi (this...) If my french is too complexe, I can translate it for you if you wish. Good luck with your studies ! Kisfröccs 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

heh, I don't know if this is possible. I think the rest of your goals are quite achievable. It's the whole achieving a flawless accent part that I think is darn difficult. If you're 10 years old you can probably still pull it off but if you're an adult already well I'm sure it's like .1% of language learners that can achieve this. Good luck though! Living in the States there are tons of immigrants from around the world who have lived here basically their adult lives and they speak English great but they never lose the accent. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

That's a good video. I was thinking it's probably possible to practice on a few phrases/sentences and mimic a native accent really well so that you can trick the natives. But when it comes to just talking free form, fluently - good luck.

I'll be following your log, as acquiring good a French accent and pronunciation is a big
focus for me at the moment. These videos certainly look useful. Bonne chance ! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I have not seen those before. I watch a few and they seem very helpful. Thank you! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I have been working on my pronunciation a lot lately. I practice some sentences to the point of my jaw being sore for a couple of hours. I'm just trying to figure out the best method right now. I found this discussion http://how-to-learn-any-language.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?T ID=20177&PN=21 and I don't know if I should listen to a whole bunch of content without speaking or if I should record myself and compare it to native speech. I should make a video soon in order to document the progress of my pronunciation.
Merci! I hope we both reach our goals and help each other to do it! 1 person has voted this message useful |
