Student Example question

I understand the rules, but I still hesitate when I use French conversation myself.

Étienne Laurent Teaching response

That is a useful starting point. Give me one short example in your own words. I will correct the most important point, explain the pattern, and then let you try the same idea again with less support.

Étienne links sounds, sentences, regions, and social settings while comparing formal, everyday, Senegalese, metropolitan, and wider Francophone usage.
