Salut! Today you're learning how to form the passé composé with avoir — the most common way to talk about the past in French! Video below J'ai mangé — I ate Tu as parlé — You spoke Il / Elle / On a fini — He / She / We finished Nous avons travaillé — We worked Vous avez regardé — You watched (formal / plural) Ils / Elles ont joué — They played The formula is simple: avoir (conjugated) + past participle. You already know all the avoir forms — now you just need to learn the past participle of each verb. -er verbs → swap -er for -é (parler → parlé) -ir verbs → swap -ir for -i (finir → fini) -re verbs → swap -re for -u (vendre → vendu) Can you make a few sentences using today's words?

Salut! Today you're learning one of the most important grammar concepts in French — two past tenses that are often confused, but each one has a very clear job! Video below Le passé composé — for completed actions and specific events J'ai mangé à 8 heures Elle est arrivée hier soir Nous avons pris le bus Il a cassé son téléphone Ils sont entrés dans le bâtiment L'imparfait — for habits and ongoing situations Je mangeais souvent ici Il faisait froid Elle était fatiguée Nous attendions le bus Ils habitaient à Montréal The key rule to remember: imparfait = vague, ongoing, repetitive. Passé composé = precise, finished, one specific moment. If you can replace it with "used to" or "was doing" in English, it's imparfait. If it happened once and it's done, it's passé composé!

Salut! Today you're learning one of the most common points of confusion in French — there are two completely different verbs for "to know" and they are not interchangeable! Video below (Coming soon I'm tired !) Savoir — To know a fact or skill Je sais — I know Tu sais — You know Il / Elle / On sait — He / She / We knows Nous savons — We know Vous savez — You know (formal / plural) Ils / Elles savent — They know Connaître — To know a person or place Je connais — I know Tu connais — You know Il / Elle / On connaît — He / She / We knows Nous connaissons — We know Vous connaissez — You know (formal / plural) Ils / Elles connaissent — They know The key difference: use savoir for facts and skills — je sais nager, je sais que tu es là. Use connaître for people and places — je connais Marie, je connais bien Paris. When in doubt, ask yourself if you could replace "know" with "be familiar with" — if yes, it's connaître!

Salut! Today you're tackling the most surprising part of French counting — and yes, it's a little quirky. Video below Soixante-dix — Seventy (literally "sixty-ten") Soixante et onze — Seventy-one (literally "sixty and eleven") Soixante-douze — Seventy-two (literally "sixty-twelve") Quatre-vingts — Eighty (literally "four-twenties") Quatre-vingt-un — Eighty-one (literally "four-twenties-one") Quatre-vingt-dix — Ninety (literally "four-twenties-ten") Quatre-vingt-onze — Ninety-one (literally "four-twenties-eleven") Cent — One hundred French doesn't have unique words for seventy, eighty, or ninety — it builds them out of sixty and twenty instead. Strange at first, but once you get the logic it all makes sense! Can you make a few sentences using today's words? Write them in the comments below!

Moi personnellement je préfère travailler seul parce que je peux travailler à mon rythme, mais peut être que c'est seulement parce que je n'ai pas encore trouvé quelqu'un avec qui travailler qui à un rhyme semblable au mien ! J'aime prendre mon temps et pas être rusher par quelqu'un d'autre
