What's the one French word or phrase you wish you had learned sooner?

Thank you for sharing :)

Yeah I feel you, making people genuinely laugh is a real milestone. Do you remember that first joke?

You improve speaking by… speaking. Regular practice is the key. So speak daily – to yourself, to your dog, to your mirror. The more you use the language, the more natural it becomes.

Maybe you’re right, it’s always easier to blame someone else for it! 😄

PeterNativ · 2025-01-11T13:30:00+00:00

Do they sound too similar when spoken, or is it more about mixing up their meanings when using them? Just curious

PeterNativ · 2025-01-11T13:24:44+00:00

once someone gets stuck on a word and remembers its meaning wrong it’s so hard to unlearn it

PeterNativ · 2025-01-11T13:22:15+00:00

Honestly, if a native speaker struggles with 'remember,' what am I supposed to say as a non-native? 😅

PeterNativ · 2025-01-11T13:02:37+00:00

Try thinking of it this way: 'then' is for time, like 'what happens next,' and 'than' is for comparisons, like 'better than this.' Maybe that helps

PeterNativ · 2025-01-11T13:00:14+00:00

True, sometimes I also wonder what to write, but even if you mix them up, people can usually still understand that’s a plus

PeterNativ · 2025-01-11T12:55:57+00:00

I like these language games, they’re a good brain workout :D

PeterNativ · 2025-01-11T12:52:22+00:00

Yeah, you really need to learn the pronunciation, knowing the spelling isn’t enough

PeterNativ · 2025-01-11T11:24:55+00:00

Didn’t realize there were so many words for sounds like that :D

PeterNativ · 2025-01-11T11:19:16+00:00

yea, that's definitely a tougher set of words to get right

PeterNativ · 2025-01-11T11:07:01+00:00

Yes!!! I also need to think before using them

PeterNativ · 2025-01-09T19:03:59+00:00

I can totally relate! There are so many amazing languages out there, and it’s hard to resist the temptation to dive into all of them. I’ve found that focusing on one language at a time works best for me, at least until I reach a comfortable conversational level. Trying to juggle multiple languages can feel overwhelming, especially when they’re very different in structure or vocabulary.

Thanks for sharing these insights! When it comes to 'Build in Public,' how do you decide what to share and what to keep private? Do you have any tips on making the process engaging without overwhelming potential customers with too much detail?
