À propos de TO SEEM

Translating TO SEEM is complex because of its many close translations in French. In short, we’ll say that TO SEEM is most often translated by PARAITRE, SEMBLER, AVOIR L’IMPRESSION, or AVOIR L’AIR.

Usage, rather than vocabulary will help you figure it all out. Write or record your own sentences in context and send them to me so I can help you sort it out.

The more mistakes you make, the faster you’ll come to understand French, even if this seems contradictory 🙂
