How to improve pronunciation

Salut! How would you recommend someone to improve their pronunciation in French if they don’t have access to a class/live in the country where French is spoken? I’m trying so hard but I struggle a lot with pronunciation but it’s so so important to me to be able to pronounce words properly and speak well because I love this language so much and it’s very important to me but I’m struggling a lot

You don’t have to live somewhere in particular or go to school to get any kind of skill. Practice and hard work will always be enough. Now :

Study this post about phonetics

Study this post about pronunciation

Listen to audiobooks while reading the written version (see below) 

Watch subtitled stuff (Netflix, TED talks, hacked content, TV5 Monde’s Sept jours sur la planète, Public sénat)

Speak to yourself, pretend to be a Youtuber, debate out loud (…) and record it so you can listen to it later

Some resources :

Youtube’s pronunciation channels

The website Forbo (natives pronouncing words)

The website Reverso (translation, pronunciation, context)

The website Linguo.tv (french videos + subtitles)

Phonetic transcription

Audiobook/ebook combo :

Le Petit Prince - Saint Exupéry AU / EB 

1984 - George Orwell AU / EB 

The Alchemist - Paulo Coehlo AU / EB 

The Art of War - Sun Tzu AU / EB

The Call of Cthulhu - Lovecraft AU / EB 

Alice in Wonderland - Lewis Caroll AU / EB 

L’Île mystérieuse - Jules Verne AU / EB 

The Bible AU / EB 

The Fellowship of the ring - J.R.R. Tolkien AU / EB 

Pride and prejudice - Jane Austen AU / EB 

Le Horla - Maupassant AU / EB 

Candide - Voltaire AU / EB 

The Black Cat - Edgar Allan Poe AU / EB 

Dorian Gray - Oscar Wilde AU / EB 

Hope this helps! x

Connaître VS Savoir

Salut! Do you have any posts on connaitre vs savoir? It’s still something that confuses me haha

Connaître (being aware of):

To know someone : Je connais Julien depuis dix ans

To master something : Je voudrais tout connaître

To be appreciated : Je suis connue pour mes talents de pianiste

To have intimate relationships (lit/rare) : Ils se sont connus jadis

To feel (physically/mentally) : Je ne connais pas la peur 

To practice, submit to something : Ma colère ne connaît pas de limites

To know oneself (reflexive) : Je me connais trop bien

Savoir (knowing how to do):

To know : Je sais!

To have something memorized : Je sais bien ma leçon 

To master something : Je sais très bien danser

To be used to/good at doing something : Je sais convaincre les foules

To be able to : Je ne saurais vous le dire

To learn/be told about something : Je sais bien qu’il est parti 

studying for the lsat (for free)

i know lsat prep courses are so expensive and i cannot pay for that so i thought i’d share what i’ve been doing

insight lsat on youtube has a playlist with a free prep course, in which they go over each section of the lsat/each type of question you’ll encounter. it’s very helpful and i recommend pausing the video and trying to answer yourself whenever the instructor recommends it!

after going through question types, he provides a list of “homework questions” — the questions add up to essentially being 2 full sections from a few different practice tests, so at the moment i’m doing the questions one recommended practice test at a time (making it 2 full sections each time i practice)

i compile answers to these practice questions in a google doc, where i correct myself and make notes on what went wrong, as well as label what types of questions i missed so i can see any patterns

i use a notion spreadsheet to track how much time per day i study, as well as scores and/or percent accuracy for my actual practice (when doing the homework questions/2 sections instead of a full test, i calculate accuracy since i do not have an actual score)

after working through the lsat insight course and doing all recommended practice, my next step will be to do full timed sections (when i do homework practice it is untimed)

then, i will take a full timed test, so that i have a new diagnostic score and i can plan out the next phase of studying. i will once again track what types of questions i’m missing so i can implement more targeted practice.

more notes:

- i get my practice tests of pdf coffee

- i check answers using manhattan prep (it’s a forum so explanations are detailed and written by real people)

i hope this was at all helpful, and if anyone has any questions or recommendations let me know! :)

ok ok ok now that you've deleted that first ask

'“Are you flirting with me?” “You finally noticed?”' with ushijima pls <33333 tyyyyyy

a/n: flksldsdj hi maeee <333 pretend i didn’t take so long to write this 😌 based on this prompt list

"good work today."

you glance up and off to the side from your squat, panting slightly, to see a tall, well-built man leaning against the power cage you’re stationed at. his skin is covered with a thin sheen of sweat, chest heaving slightly, indicating that he’s just finished one of his grueling workout routines. you would know, you’ve seen his regimen. it’s ridiculous, honestly. you’re halfway convinced that Ushijima Wakatoshi is simply not human.

“thanks,” you let the barbell drop and grab the clean, white towel that he offers you. “i’m sure i’m a mess though. haven’t been in for a while because of work and stuff.”

“i noticed.” Ushijima shrugs off your concerns. “you look very well put together.”

fighting back a grin, along with the strange flutter of your heart that those words elicit from you, you thank him again. this man, honestly. always coming up to you and saying things that no normal person would probably have the courage to say. but Ushijima? no such hesitation. you’ve lost track of the things he’s said to you over the past few weeks that you’ve gotten to know him. 

“you have good form.”

“you’ve improved from since i last saw you.”

“you are pleasing to talk to.”

if it were anyone else, you probably would have called them out on it long ago, but it’s Ushijima. he means things as he says them. you’re a hundred percent sure that he has absolutely no interest in you. you’re a hundred percent sure that he has absolutely no interest in anyone, so laser-focused is he when he’s working out. not once have you ever seen his eyes stray towards anyone. you’re probably the only one he talks to regularly, heaven knows why, despite the many women and some men desperate to have him “check their form.”

“so what’s new with you? anything going on in that big volleyball brain of yours?”

Ushijima’s brows furrow at your teasing words. “not particularly. i do have a match coming up.”

“no way, really? an official match?” he nods, intense gaze tracking the way you stretch out your sore arms. “you know, come to think of it, i’ve never seen you play. never seen you actually practice either.”

there’s a short pause. “would you like to?”

you raise your eyebrows. “when’s the game? if it’s soon, i doubt i could snag tickets in time.”

“i can get you a courtside seat,” Ushijima straightens and adds almost reluctantly, “more than one if...you would like to bring a friend.”

your lips twitch at the slightly awkward invite. unable to help yourself, you lean against the cool metal bar of the cage, tilting your head, “tickets to your game? the ones that are notoriously hard to get? and not just that, but a courtside seat? why Ushijima, are you flirting with me?”

you grin at the way his forehead creases, bending down to pick up your water bottle that’s sitting on the ground. “relaaax, i’m just messing w-”

“you finally noticed?”

your hand freezes mid-air in its path towards your face, water bottle gripped tightly in it. a few drops of water splash out before you manage to stabilize it, staring incredulously at the olive-brown haired man in front of you. you have to take some time to process those three words, running them through your mind a few times before coughing. “you- you’re flirting.”

“i am.”

“with me.”

“yes.”

you squint, blinking a few times to make sure that you’re not in the twilight zone and that it is indeed Ushijima Wakatoshi, resident gym rat and volleyball nerd, speaking to you. there’s barely a single coherent thought in your mind right now, everything’s just a jumbled mess. “what? why? who? when? where?”

“since the beginning.” his broad shoulders slump, head cocking to the side. he looks confused as to why you’re confused. “because i’m interested in you.”

a stunned silence settles heavily over the two of you. Ushijima looks patient, just standing there, in no rush to retract his confession or turn away, as any normal person would. it takes a few moments, but you manage to unstick your tongue from the roof of your mouth and clear your throat, heat flooding to your cheeks when memories every single interaction you’ve had with him over the past few weeks comes rushing back.

“um. so when’s the game?”
