You know just enough to get by.<em> L\u2019addition s\u2019il vous pla\u00eet<\/em>. Or,<em> je veux prendre deux baguettes<\/em>. But once the shopkeeper or the bartender steers away from traditional day-to-day vocab, you\u2019re completely lost.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>For all those out there aiming to improve their French, here are five tips if you\u2019d like to one day speak like a real Â鶹APPian. Or at least be understood by one.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>1. Language exchanges<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>There are meetings all around the city \u2014 usually in bars \u2014 where you can practice your French with a native speaker and speak a little bit of your native language with them, too. These \u201c\u00e9change linguistiques\u201d can vary. Some are specifically English-French exchanges in which natives of either language join to practice the foreign tongue they\u2019d like to improve in. Others are an international free-for-all, where anyone shows up to mingle, with several different languages spoken at the same time.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Here are a couple I\u2019ve checked out:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h5>BlaBla Language Exchange<\/h5>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14541\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/pianovache.jpg\" alt=\"Learn French Â鶹APP\" width=\"855\" height=\"550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/pianovache.jpg 855w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/pianovache-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/pianovache-768x494.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/pianovache-816x525.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 855px) 100vw, 855px\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Le Piano Vache, via Le Piano Vache Facebook page<\/span><\/p>\n<p>My favorite by far is BlaBla language exchange, which meets every Thursday at Le Piano Vache, a cool, rock n\u2019 roll bar near the Pantheon. It\u2019s my favorite mostly because of the venue, to be honest.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>The entire place is decorated with photos of the your favorite rock musicians from top to bottom, and sometimes there\u2019s live jazz on Thursdays.<\/p>\n<p>The bartenders are warm and friendly, and the drinks reflect the cool atmosphere. If you\u2019re going for the first time, start with the house beer and go from there. The language exchange always takes place in the front section of the bar. It can get a bit cozy, but the close proximity does help everyone interact with each other better.<\/p>\n<p>Another reason this exchange ranks at the top is the good job of the organisers, keeping an eye to make sure everyone is getting a chance to practice. Language exchanges have a tendency to favour one language more than the other, so it\u2019s always nice to have someone checking in to make sure you\u2019re getting to practice what you\u2019d like to.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>BlaBla in general has a very stress free, no pressure vibe. You walk in, are greeted by organisers and get stickers that correspond to what language(s) you\u2019d like to practice and what languages you already speak. From there, you\u2019re free to mingle!<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h5>Polyglot<\/h5>\n<p>Next on the list for me is Polyglot, a language exchange right off of the Denfert Rochereau metro and RER stop. They meet <strong>Thursdays<\/strong> and <strong>Saturdays<\/strong> at Caf\u00e9 Denfert, now so synonymous with the event it\u2019s also called Polyglot Caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve checked out a few of their Saturday events and can tell you they are quite popular. It has the same set-up where you walk in, get a sticker, and get to speaking.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14536\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/polyglotcafe.jpg\" alt=\"Learn French Â鶹APP\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/polyglotcafe.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/polyglotcafe-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/polyglotcafe-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/polyglotcafe-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/polyglotcafe-816x459.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Boulevard Saint-Jacques, view from Polyglot Caf\u00e9, sourced from Scott Dexter via Wikimedia Commons<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you walk in after a certain hour there might not be anybody to give you a name tag, but no worries. Just head to any spot at the bar and strike up a conversation to see if there\u2019s anyone trying to practice French.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>You can find native French speakers to answer all the questions you wanted to know and some you never though to ask. You\u2019ll learn idiomatic expressions there, like \u201ctomber le cheval\u201d or learn the latest Verlan from some of the younger eventgoers.<\/p>\n<p>An added bonus is the \u201ccocktail gratuit pour les filles\u201d on Saturdays. You have to stick around late though, as the cocktails are only handed out after a certain hour and everyone is offered the same generic one. I\u2019ve tried one once and, while it\u2019s nothing to write home about, it\u2019s a free drink nonetheless.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll give honorable mentions to <strong>Mundo Lingo<\/strong> and <strong>TripMeeters<\/strong>, who have tons of weekly exchanges as well. But for a good look at all of the selections Â鶹APP has to offer, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/Meetup.com\">Meetup.com<\/a>!<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"By http:\/\/www.language-exchanges.org\/\" src=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/d\/d7\/Language_Exchange.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.language-exchanges.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Language exchanges<\/a> are a great way to learn French: via Wikipedia Commons<\/p><\/div>\n<h4>2. French partner<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Pretty self-explanatory here, but always worth a mention. The easiest way to improve your skills in the language of love is to, well, fall in love. This is pretty much a given for any language, but with a tricky language like French it\u2019s all the more helpful.<\/p>\n<p>This doesn\u2019t necessarily mean you have to marry a French person or exclusively date people from the Hexagon. Just put yourself out there. Use one of the many matching apps out there to chat with people in French.<\/p>\n<p>Then when you meet in person, you can have all the awkwardness of a first date, plus the awkwardness of struggling to express yourself in French. But sometimes, you just have to jump right into the pool, and that\u2019s a good way to do it. Who knew Tinder could be good for something?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/no-romance.jpg\" width=\"650\" height=\"398\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lovers at the love locks in Â鶹APP.

French media<\/h4>\n<h5>Radio France International<\/h5>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14532\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/radio.jpg\" alt=\"Learn French Â鶹APP\" width=\"752\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/radio.jpg 752w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/radio-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 752px) 100vw, 752px\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Photo via Unsplash<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This is a sure-fire way to improve. Immerse yourself in all things French media, from movies and television to radio broadcasts. I recommend downloading the RFI \u2014 Radio France International \u2014 application.<\/p>\n<p>On your train ride to school or work, you can listen to all of the latest \u201cactualit\u00e9\u201d while learning a lot of great vocabulary that\u2019s a mix of high level and colloquial. Even better, you can stay up-to-date with current events so you can join in on the conversations with colleagues or classmates.<\/p>\n<p>RFI doesn\u2019t only have the latest news but also interviews with interesting personalities or reviews on art. Radio speech is a very good introduction to the language as well. It\u2019s a great start for getting your ear accustomed to how French sounds in normal conversation, especially when you listen to the broadcast\u2019s interviews.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>And if you ever want some inspiration, you can see the real headquarters. It\u2019s accessible from the RER C line. The stop is Avenue du Pr\u00e9sident Kennedy \u2014 Maison du Radio France International.<\/p>\n<h5>Newspapers<\/h5>\n<p>As for reading material, there\u2019s a wealth of websites to choose from. If you\u2019re on Twitter, I\u2019d recommend following all of the French media you can get your hands on. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lemonde.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Le Monde<\/a>, Le Figaro, Agence France-Presse, Le Â鶹APPien, Canard \u00c9chain\u00e9, Jeune Afrique, the list goes on.<\/p>\n<p>What you want to do is read an article every day and stop when you get to a word you don\u2019t know, then look up the word! It can be cumbersome, but if you keep at it it will be sure to produce results.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In fact, Le Monde is having a sale right now for young subscribers. If you\u2019re between the ages of 18 and 25, you can get six months for just one euro. So subscribe and get learning!<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 414px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/4\/42\/Sandro_Pertini4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"404\" height=\"294\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Reading French newspapers, like Le Monde, can help improve your French.\u00a0By\u00a0Presidenza della Repubblica via Wikipedia Commons<\/p><\/div>\n<h4>4. Conversation partner<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>This method is for the most motivated of the bunch. It\u2019s similar to a language exchange meetup, but much more personalised to your language needs. First, you need to go on social media, Facebook probably works best, and search for tandem conversation partner groups.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14534 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/conversation.jpg\" alt=\"Learn French Â鶹APP\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/conversation.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/conversation-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It should be fairly easy to find a group, then just place and add, saying what language you\u2019re willing to offer help with in exchange for help in French. You should start to see your DMs fill with fellow lingophiles, and see if you can find someone who\u2019s schedule and learning style matches up with yours.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d recommend meeting at least weekly with whoever your partner is. Sometimes it can be a caf\u00e9, other times a bar, but if you really want to change up the vocabulary, try going to a different environment with your partner every time. One time, visit a museum, so you\u2019ll be forced to expand the art culture part of your vocabulary. Other times take a walk through a neighbourhood, all <em>comme vous voulez<\/em>.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>5.
