Hi everyone,

I’ve helped a few non-native speakers in Dijon improve their French over the past few years, and I’d like to share some simple tips that can really make a difference.:

• Watching kids’ cartoons → simple vocabulary, clear pronunciation
• Reading comics or children’s books → great for understanding sentence structure
• Reusing new words as soon as possible → even in very simple sentences
• Watching series dubbed in French with French subtitles → helps connect spoken and written forms

It may sound basic, but doing this consistently really helps.

If you’re learning French here, I’m curious — what do you find the most difficult?

你好 !

I know quite a few Chinese students and newcomers are moving in Dijon each year, so I thought I’d share a few impressions that might be useful.

I’ve studied a bit of Mandarin before at school, so I’m always curious about how French feels from the perspective of Chinese speakers.

According to my knowledge, French tends to be tricky because of:

• French is less tonic than chinese (there are silent letters in many words).
• gendered nouns with many agreements (singular/plural forms).
• verb conjugations with lots of tenses and exceptions.
• some classifiers (especially with aliments'names) but mainly less than in chinese mandarin.
• full of words from latine/greek ascendance and more abstract than chinese mandarin.
• grammar rules… and then exceptions to the rules.

If you have some questions or worries about french language, don't hesitate to comment or to send me a dm.

再见 ! :)
