Welcome to 3 Minute French Course Fifteen, covering lessons 126 to 134. In this installment, we embark on an exhilarating journey of linguistic growth, delving into the richness of verbs, adjectives, nouns, and adverbs. Additionally, we’ll delve into a profound exploration of concepts we’ve previously encountered, enhancing our comprehension and command of the language.

In this course, we’re going to learn lots of new verbs, adjectives, nouns and adverbs, but we’re also going to look in more detail at some of what we’ve already learnt.

With languages, it’s often not a good idea to learn everything there is about a word or a phrase the first time you see it, as this can be overwhelming and you’ll miss out on the beauty of discovering things at a more natural pace.

Progressing further, we uncovered the synergy between “faire” and other verbs to express actions in progress.

If we’d learnt all of this in one go, it would have been too overwhelming and we wouldn’t have been able to take it all in. However, because we spread it out, we were able to digest the small nuggets of information more naturally over time. This is what language learning is all about – learning small nuggets of information, becoming expert at them and then adding new information to it. When we were children, we didn’t learn to speak in one weekend. Even though we were constantly surrounded by our mother language all day, every day for years on end, our brains didn’t let us take it all in one sitting, and this is because it would have been too overwhelming. Instead, babies learn singular words first, then they start to put two or three words together, then they might be able to use them to ask a question, gradually acquiring, practising and mastering the language at a natural pace.

Within this course, the pursuit of discovery reigns supreme. We venture to broaden our grasp of familiar territories, cultivating innovative modes of expression. A focal point entails discerning variances between verbs like “connaître” and “savoir,” both signifying “to know,” and navigating the intricacies of seemingly basic elements, such as articles.

Unraveling the subtleties of articles—words like “the,” “a,” and “some”—comprises an essential facet of our journey. We shall scrutinize their application in French and English, unearthing the rules that underlie their usage. As we delve deeper, terms like “countable” and “uncountable” nouns become our allies, enabling us to master article regulations.

Our linguistic adventure also encompasses possessive adjectives (“my,” “your,” “his…”) and possessive pronouns (“mine,” “yours,” “his…”). One riveting lesson tackles the realm of cognates—words identical or akin in two languages. Think “restaurant,” an identical term in French and English, serving as a shining exemplar. Unlocking cognate principles empowers us to effortlessly translate myriad English words into French.
