Have you ever heard the expression "ça m'est égal!"? Let's break it down! - "ça" = "it" - "m'est" = "is to me" - "égal" = "equal" Altogether, this translates to "It is equal to me". Can you guess the meaning of this expression from the literal translation? A vos claviers ! 🤔

Attention, à ne pas confondre ! ⚠️ - Attendre (sounds like 'to attend', means 'to wait') - Passer un examen (sounds like 'to pass an exam', means 'to take an exam') - Se blesser (sounds like 'to bless oneself', means 'to injure oneself') Can you try using them correctly?👇

Memorising the gender of French words is not easy! Here’s a tip: all words ending in "-tion" are feminine (except "bastion")! E.g. question, situation... But be careful! Nouns ending in just “-ion” may be masculine. E.g. avion Can you add to the list of examples? A vous ! ✍🏻

Have you heard of the phrase "avoir horreur de" (literally, = to have horror of). It means "to be unable to stand something". Par exemple: 1) "J'ai horreur des légumes verts, je n'en mange jamais." (=I hate green vegetables; I never eat them) 🥒 Try it out in a sentence! 👇️

Let's focus on a false friend, the verb "achever" (=to finish) 🔍 If you want to say 'to achieve', use "réaliser": - Je viens d'achever mes devoirs. (I just finished my homework) - J'ai réalisé tous mes objectifs. (I achieved all my goals) Come up with your own example!👇
