I can read French real good now, but understanding spoken French is the problem, I can’t tell where one word ends and the other begins, other languages aren’t nearly as difficult as French in that area. The French don’t exactly annunciate their words.
Same with me. I figure it’s the wine- they slur their words ;)
I found that written and spoken French can be two different worlds — and i’m not talking only about passe compose. But even saying “nous faisons...” is just in the written world — you use “nous” a lot in a restaurant and they’ll know you’re a foreigner. They use words like “on fait” instead. Why? i have no clue.
