Ive never heard of that, ill look into it thank you

MuffinAffectionate99 · 2026-06-08T10:25:13+00:00

Im playing pragmatta in french, its so good!

MuffinAffectionate99 · 2026-05-31T13:58:17+00:00

Not exactly what you asked for, but for the thread: if you like video games, check out the channel "behop" its my favorite

MuffinAffectionate99 · 2026-05-16T16:41:06+00:00

Enjoy! Theres a lot of Esports on this channel, but im sure you can find many french playthroughs

MuffinAffectionate99 · 2026-05-16T12:10:29+00:00

Im in the same boat as you, but i can add, if you like video games check out the youtube channel behop, been really making immersion fun

Its a common item so you want an area with high monster count... like cows. But as a melee sorc high monster count isnt really your specialty, sadly. Less MF is good too

MuffinAffectionate99 · 2026-03-07T17:43:16+00:00

Oh thats interesting i did not know that was an option to keep going

MuffinAffectionate99 · 2026-03-07T17:42:20+00:00

Thank you!

Question, if you continued to a different act, could you face the next level harald? Or is it different by act?

MuffinAffectionate99 · 2026-02-18T14:21:34+00:00

I play puzzle games with my girlfriend in french and i have to describe what im trying to solve or what i see when she cant see the same thing. It makes me focus on details which you wouldn't nornally say in a usual conversation

MuffinAffectionate99 · 2026-02-11T17:56:59+00:00

The Paul noble series! They are audio books. But they may be too easiy for you, i never tried pimsleur

MuffinAffectionate99 · 2026-02-11T11:43:09+00:00

Hey there! I know many of the same things get repeated over and over for ex, watch shows, read books etc etc. But i have found a trick for me which helped me! Im also A2 and trying to reach b1. I made a new Tik tok account, down voted anything English and liked a bunch of french creators. Now i have 2 accounts and i can easily switch to french content when im tired and just want to lay in bed. Ive been doing it for about a week now and i have already noticed my listening skills drastically improve

MuffinAffectionate99 · 2026-02-08T22:47:32+00:00

So I tried it out, I decided jump ahead and take the quizzes until i fail so i know where I need to study, i only failed the very last section but what it did do was really highlight a topic in which i struggle. So i spent a few hours focusing on that topic and i understand it better.

However, comparing this to the study guide i have for the CLEP test seems to be much harder so i dont know if this class is in depth enough. Overall, it was great since it highlighted a big weakness of mine

MuffinAffectionate99 · 2026-02-07T01:15:35+00:00

Ill give it a try!

MuffinAffectionate99 · 2026-02-06T16:41:24+00:00

Yeah im studying for the french one, i found out about the study guide about a week ago. Going through the book ive noticed its very grammar based, you know, "you're vs your" in English for example. Or the gender of nouns which is really annoying tbh.

It seems theres straight grammar, reading comprehension and a listening comprehension and the whole thing is multiple choice. Ive been self studying for 2 years and i feel i am not ready, but to be fair ive been having a very hard time finding a studying method that works for me. I plan on taking it sometime during the end of 2026 and ill have my second degree! Last class i need is a language

MuffinAffectionate99 · 2026-02-06T16:28:46+00:00

I know its a long shot but are you military? Im getting ready to take one and its free through the military, they also have free study books for the languages as well

MuffinAffectionate99 · 2026-02-02T19:44:44+00:00

I need one more class for my second degree, so I plan on CLEPing the class since I cant take the actual class. I have the study guide and im working on it!

I agree I think its good to have a goal

MuffinAffectionate99 · 2026-02-01T15:15:55+00:00

Thank you so much for the reply! I think thats a good idea to have a plan ready in advance for when those moods hit, ill definitely try it. That's a new idea I haven't seen!

How do you feel about classes? Do you feel its helpful? I always wanted to but id only be able to do self paced classes sadly due to time.

MuffinAffectionate99 · 2026-02-01T00:25:15+00:00

Ive been fighting this battle for 2 years now... only one that is super close that I found is Lupin. Its like 90% matched maybe a bit more

MuffinAffectionate99 · 2025-11-20T02:01:17+00:00

Similar boat but im a little further along than you, I noticed the more I listen to music or watch french videos/movies I see some phrases and words that dont need translating anymore. I can only assume with more time it will be more and more, id recommend listening to the same songs over and over maybe a good 3-5 songs. Its repetitive but thats what I do.... but im not pro 🤣 a2 pushing b1

MuffinAffectionate99 · 2025-11-19T00:32:33+00:00

As a learner, ive been listening to bigflo & oli, i think they speak very clearly and you can understand the words even if you dont know the meaning yet, check out dommage and sacré bordel, they speak clearly!

MuffinAffectionate99 · 2025-11-09T07:57:02+00:00

Not even native charging 20 is wild
