🇫🇷 Why do French people say…

les amis → les-z-amis

vous êtes → vou-z-êtes

un ami → un-n-ami

This is called liaison — and it’s essential to understand spoken French.

Without liaison, French sounds unnatural.

With liaison, your French sounds much more fluent.

In this new podcast episode, you’ll learn:

✔️ What French liaison is

✔️ Mandatory liaison rules

✔️ Optional liaison in real speech

✔️ Forbidden liaison (very important)

✔️ Pronunciation with clear examples

Perfect if you want to:

• understand native speakers

• improve pronunciation

• sound more natural in French

Many French learners make the same small grammar mistake…and they don’t even realize it.

You must use contracted articles:

These small words appear everywhere in French, andmastering them instantly makes your French sound more natural.

In my new podcast episode, I explain:

You don’t need a French partner to improve your speaking.

You need a system.

Most learners believe fluency comes from conversation.

It doesn’t.

It comes from:

• Daily output

• Structured repetition

• Speaking before you feel ready

In my latest podcast episode, I share practical strategies to practice speaking French alone:

✅ Narrate your daily life (morning / midday / evening routine)

✅ Use the shadowing technique to sound more natural

✅ Record yourself and track progress

✅ Expand your answers using the 3-level method✅ Summary sheet and exercises. Download it from my website frenchclassteacher.com, library of exercises by clicking on the corresponding podcast.

Just 10–15 minutes a day can transform your confidence in 3 months.

If you’re tired of understanding French but freezing when speaking — this episode is for you.

Fluency doesn’t come from waiting. It comes from daily speaking.

What’s your biggest speaking challenge right now?
