French in Plain Sight's video: Don t do these 3 things in French - They are slowing down your French progress ft @Oui In France

When we get to intermediate stages in French, or even move to France, it's really important to look at where we're putting our energy in order to get better at the language. But it's not always obvious since what got us to our current level might not be what we need to kick on even further. With me is Diane from the lifestyle blog ouiinfrance.com to discuss three (crucial yet unexplored) things that we do too much of that really slow down our French progress when we think we're being productive. I hope you enjoy this discussion between 2 expats in France with 13 years of experience between us of mixing the language with life in France. I really enjoyed it. We have made a second video that is over on Diane's channel all about 6 French expressions heard in everyday life that we definitely didn't learn in French class!

I have a passion for helping other expats in French-speaking countries navigate the bumpy road of learning the French language so that they can be confident French speakers and ultimately live comfortable lives. I talk about fun parts of the language, break down complex French grammar in plain English, and how to stay positive with rational thinking when it comes to the challenges of learning the French language. --- My favourite tools to get you to speak French: Language exchange and private teaching: https://www.italki.com/i/BE6aA6?hl=en_us Find/create a language exchange in your area: https://meetup.com https://conversationexchange.com My recommended online translator is Reverso's In-Context feature: https://context.reverso.com Language tools/resources I recommend: https://memrise.com (web and mobile app) Book series I used to pass the DELF B2 (Amazon affiliate links): DELF B1 Amazon.co.uk - https://amzn.to/2L46J9z Amazon.fr - https://amzn.to/2L416s2 DELF B2 Amazon.co.uk - https://amzn.to/33Vyeeq Amazon.fr - https://amzn.to/2NpzpNd DALF C1/C2 Amazon.co.uk - https://amzn.to/2Mxu7Q2 Amazon.fr - https://amzn.to/2Z4BULQ --- My Video Gear (Amazon Affiliate Links - You Buy, I Get A Tiny Cut): Panasonic GH4: Amazon.co.uk: https://amzn.to/2W6n6WS Amazon.fr: https://amzn.to/2WlOjtK Yongyuo 300 Air LED Panel: Amazon.co.uk: https://amzn.to/2KgFXfF Amazon.fr: https://amzn.to/2I3RU5m Rode VideoMic Pro Shotgun Microphone: Amazon.co.uk: https://amzn.to/2XibwJo Amazon.fr: https://amzn.to/2Wg9op7 Rode VideoMic Go Microphone: Amazon.co.uk: https://amzn.to/30PNKp2 Amazon.fr: https://amzn.to/2AHVwHf Boya BY-M1 Lapel Microphone: Amazon.co.uk: https://amzn.to/2OulYw9 Amazon.fr: https://amzn.to/30PvWL5 Blue Yeti Microphone: Amazon.fr: https://amzn.to/2Man9xG Amazon.co.uk: https://amzn.to/2Vi0tQr --- Other studio stuff: Lightbox with letters you see in the background: Amazon.co.uk: https://amzn.to/2VmmOwb Amazon.fr: https://amzn.to/2LNBf9i *Disclaimer: Some links above are affiliate links, which means I get a small commission for referring you.
