Hey everyone,

I’m a native French speaker with C1+ English TOEFL iBT 112/120 and Cambridge C1 Advanced.

I’ve got some free time here and there and I really enjoy just chatting.

I’m not looking for any formal language exchange or anything serious. It’s really about relaxed conversations from time to time. Not pretending to be better than a real teacher or a passionate tutor, but I can still be like an extra French person on the side: someone you can talk to when you need a second opinion, some real-life practice, or just a casual chat.

If you ever struggle with countries' gender, you just have to learn 16 of them :

- Feminine countries all end with -e except le Mexique, le Mozambique, le Cambodge, le Zimbabwe.

- Pays pluriels : les États-Unis (no -e before plural "s" so also masculine for conjugaison/grammar), les Philippines(-e before plural "s" so also femine), les Maldives, les Pays-Bas

- Gender Neutral : Israël, Bahreïn, Oman, Chypre, Cuba, Haïti

Otherwise, it's a he.

For real, if some non french people can read this properly first shot, I'll give them my carte d'identité.

- "Évidemment qu'ils mentent tous ! Ils nous volent tous les jours en plus... Ça ne peut plus durer : c'est accablant et inacceptable, ainsi qu'incompréhensiblement soutenu par le gouvernement. Alors qu'ils aillent au diable !" 😈

Hey people,

I'm a French guy from the East of France (next to Lyon) and I've been seeing a lot of people here wanting to practice their spoken French, so I thought I'd offer a hand.

If you're looking to chat casually with a native, prepare an exam, work on your pronunciation, or get honest feedback on your diction and accent, feel free to ask and I'll share my Discord with you.

And you can talk or ask about literally anything, even if it feels insignificant or a bit embarrassing. No judgment here, just chill. 🤗
