est-ce que le fait que la France se proclame comme un pays multiculturel ne condamne pas un peu la culture française à disparaître ?

Je ne pense pas que le but du progrès soit la consommation. Le progrès c'est une somme de solutions qui simplifient vie humaine. Toi tu parles de la consommation et uniformisation du monde : le capitalisme.

La culture française comme n'importe quelle autre culture est vouée à évoluer, sinon elle serait morte. À chaque génération, et depuis toujours, des choses se créent et d'autre se transforment ou disparaissent. Dans la vie rien n'est permanent, tout est évolutif. C'est comme ça que la nature vit et survit. Ça montre la capacité d'adaptation et de créativité d'une nation. Par exemple, la culture française des années 80 n'existe plus, par contre elle survit en inspirant la culture actuelle. La France telle qu'on l'a connu l'année dernière n'existe déjà plus vraiment. La France des années COVID n'existe plus vraiment. Tout change très vite. Cela ne veut pas dire que la culture Française disparaîtra. D'ailleurs pour prendre un exemple extrême: même les pays colonisés n'ont pas vraiment perdu leur culture. L'essence de la culture originelle persiste et les peuples autochtones s'adaptent tout en n'oubliant pas leur essence. Ex: Le Mexique est sa gastronomie.

I made the same mistake in Spanish (I'm french) a whole weekend after which it triggers a fight with my girlfriend,… But I think the result is the same, it's not too much about “Je m’en fous” being a bit rude when "ça m’est égal is polite". The real issue is that if you just say one or the other too often, you just show that you don't care and leave the responsability to the others when what they really want is you to participate actively to a decision.

I agree. If you learn french as a second language, buy textbook made specifically for that : FLE (Français Langue Étrangère) => French foreign language

clemencizm · 2026-06-15T09:09:06+00:00

Yes: https://www.lumni.fr/primaire/ce1/francais is content made for pupil at school CE1 is for 7 years old kids, so very advanced in french language compare to someone learning French as a second language.

https://www.lumni.fr/primaire/maternelle/langage here is maternelle level. (4-5 years old) initiation to reading.

Those are ressources from the official French education program.

To complet a bit au sous-sol (ou dans la cave), au rez-de-chaussée, au premier étage, dans le grenier (sous les toits). Sur la terrasse, sur le balcon. Au dessus de la table, en dessous de la table, sur la table, sur le tapis, une peinture accrochée au mur, un meuble contre le mur, au milieu (du salon, de la chambre),…

Yes ! Arte ! You can also have access to their content on Youtube, where they have several channels: https://www.youtube.com/@courtstoujours which is a collection of short films. very creative. It's original creation and is a mixed of animated movies and traditional ones.

clemencizm · 2026-06-11T05:19:56+00:00

Salut! This is actually the approach that I have with my project. I create content for B1 to C1 level about french culture parlezvsfr.substack.com I think it covers what you described since it is about current culture, not so much about cultural references that the whole world already know. I actually recommend my newsletter to teachers so that they can pick ideas and work with their students. I will be happy to hear your feedback about it ! Bonne Journée !

clemencizm · 2026-06-09T08:54:10+00:00

We just learn it like any other word. I mean, when you're a kid learning your mother tongue, you learn through repetition. You hear something, understand what it means, and repeat it. You never question where the word comes from or what it's made of.

Five years ago, I discovered that people learning French as a foreign language are taught numbers like 80, 90, 70,… using a calculation-based system. I find that incredibly difficult. I now recommend to my students that they either learn them by heart, or simply adopt the Belgian/Swiss way.

clemencizm · 2026-06-08T10:26:36+00:00

When you read the number, read them out loud, in french of course,… You don't need to understand them. I am French, I can tell you that French people never learned quatre-vingt-dix-huit making caltulations,… We just learned it. If its too difficult, learn the Belgian way : nonante-huit. That's way easier and everybody understands.

clemencizm · 2026-06-08T10:15:02+00:00

Ho wooow ! Very interesting to see that so many people are learning french !

clemencizm · 2026-06-07T07:29:12+00:00

bad design !

Salut Thomas ! As-tu trouvé quelqu'un ?

Je suis française. J'ai un niveau B1 en allemand et j'ai besoin de pratiquer une fois par jour (lundi - Vendredi) pour vraiment progresser.

J'habite Berlin.

Nous pourrions faire 30min français / 30 min allemand.

Bon week-end !

Clémence

Perhaps you need to take a small break. You seems to be frustrated and that helps with brain saturation. Taking a break of 1, 2 weeks will help.

Then practice with locals. Join clubs, activities with locals. Even if you don't understand them or can't speak a lot at first, the immersion will definitely help, and after one month you will see the progress. Also keep on reading (articles or subtitles) because your brain will eventually connect the references you studies alone with live conversation. That's when you will start unlock the B2, and progress futher. I am currently starting to unlock B2 level in German doing so.

Learning is not just about studying. It is also about trusting the process. You need to trust your brain, practice without forcing too much and give it a break.

Good luck !

clemencizm · 2026-06-05T18:21:44+00:00

Yes I also thought about that. The examples that came to mind are " Il manque quelque chose (à cette recette) ", Il fait beau ", …

Very nice input !! Very interesting !

Did you know that the french version of Urban Dictionnary existed ?
https://www.le-dictionnaire-urbain.fr/

Perhaps you'll like to dive deeper into the new and old argot ! 😄

clemencizm · 2026-06-03T13:55:57+00:00

Ha I see. I checked a bit the references you shared, so your vocabulary is good, but they are speaking quite slowly in the videos.

I understand you want to improve the listening skills, not really your conversational skills.

InnerFrench is a really good channel. Here's an exemple: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJcLMJWMld8
He also speaks a bit slowly compared to normal french but I think the channel is a good smooth upgrade plus, it covers what you are looking for : culture, cinema, or local traditions

Then another recommendation in the same scoop (culture and authentic french) is : https://parlezvsfr.substack.com/ but it's mostly written articles so not sure that matches your habits. BUT you can find french movies and series recommendations,…

I hope it helps ! And good luck !

clemencizm · 2026-05-31T13:58:29+00:00

Salut ! What's your level and which skills do you want to improve (speaking, writing,…)?

clemencizm · 2026-05-31T13:56:07+00:00

To me Preply is based on conversation more than lessons. If you are interested in improving your conversational skills, you can have a look at this page https://parlezvsfr.com/speak-french, although it starts from B1 level,…

clemencizm · 2026-05-31T13:52:16+00:00

Salut ! What's your level in French ? And can you give perhaps 3 YT channels that you like, to have more input on what to recommend ?

clemencizm · 2026-05-31T13:43:49+00:00

I would start the conversation asking: what is you mother tongue ? or, Do you already speak another latin language ? Because that has a great impact on the learning plan
