👂🏻Colloquial phrases to listen for:

les animaux de compagnie = les bêtes domestiques = petsA bit long winded but this is the way we say it! I find it quite touching actually, a literal description of what our furry friends are: animals to keep us company.

il y a quelques années = il y a un certain temps = a few years ago‘There is/there are’ yes but ‘il y a’ also has a side gig talking about the past. See here (if you’re keen). Elle avait la grippe il y a un mois - She had the flu a month ago.

grâce à toi ✨= à cause de toi (but in a good way!) = thanks to youThis is the phrase you whip out to express gratitude. It's like sprinkling fairy dust of appreciation over someone's actions. Example: "Grâce à toi, j'ai découvert ce merveilleux café." (Thanks to you, I discovered this wonderful café.)
