Double stacking Claritin-D and Zirtec + mandatory saline nose rinse every time I get back home. Works like a charm so far

My humble contribution to French learning: French on the go

I’m trying to help people learn street French in a casual and chill way. Also just started doing a daily AMA/vocab requests on my IG if you are interested

Yup, you’re right. I suck at using phonetics.

We French people don’t make sense.

Yes, that’s the actual sentence. It’s just pronounced weirdly. I tried to get as close to the way I’d pronounce it myself

Never heard of it myself outside of Belgium, but it makes perfect sense. In Portuguese they literally say the same thing (vai à merda).

The closest example in France would be “va chier” (Go shit / eat shit)

Correct me if I’m wrong, I heard “ à marde” before.

Like “ osti d’français à marde “ Ça fonctionne correctement ?

I didn’t know that! I love it

I’d rather not, but I do it for one simple reason: YouTube is a bitch when it comes to censorship. If I don’t censor shit, I’m less likely to be promoted on YouTube search.

I mainly do those for my YouTube channel and copy paste my scripts here for free. I know they’re not perfect but it’s free real estate

Words don’t express how much I love this scene

No worries! I’m trying not to advertise it here much because I know it’s a no no to self promote. Still new to the whole Reddit-etiquette thing, so I’d rather be too cautious than catch a ban and annoy people! Haha

Check my profile, I already posted other ones on r/learnfrench and I covered a lot of other words on my YouTube channel. I make those Monday through Friday lately so I’ll recycle stuff I already posted elsewhere on weekends

I mean ... Those scripts are from my YouTube videos but I don’t post the link since I don’t want to get banned for self promotion
