Learn one useful expression to have better conversations in French. 

👋🇨🇵 Bonjour French learners !

Let's study or practice one useful expression for your daily life in a French speaking country. 

✅ Today's expression is: f a i r e   l a   q u e u e 

🇨🇵 Faire la queue = stand in line

Examples:
📌 Je déteste faire la queue. C'est long et ennuyeux.  - I hate standing in line. It's long and boring. 

📌 Je fais souvent la queue à la boulangerie pour acheter du pain.  - I often stand in line in the bakery to buy some bread.

🗣 Your turn!
Et toi, tu as déjà fait la queue pour manger au restaurant ? - Have you already waited/stood in line to eat at the restaurant?

😀 Hope it was useful for you!
🤩 Don't hesitate to answer in French in the comments, I'm here for you. 
🤗 Suggest another expression you want me to teach you.

French expressions for your conversations. 1. 

SMART Goals for Active Listening:
Here are some examples of SMART goals you can set to improve your active listening skills:

1. Improve comprehension in work meetings:

Specific: I will actively listen during all team meetings by summarizing key points after each agenda item.
Measurable: I will track the number of times I summarize key points and the accuracy of my summaries based on colleague feedback.
Attainable: I will start by summarizing after one agenda item per meeting, then gradually increase to all items over a month.
Relevant: Improved comprehension will lead to better participation and decision-making in meetings.
Time-bound: I will implement this for the next 3 months and evaluate progress then.
2. Enhance communication with family:

Specific: I will practice active listening with my partner by reflecting back their emotions and using open-ended questions during evening conversations.
Measurable: My partner will provide feedback on whether they feel heard and understood by my responses.
Attainable: I will focus on actively listening during one conversation per evening for the next two weeks.
Relevant: Improved communication will strengthen my relationship with my partner.
Time-bound: I will practice this for two weeks and then discuss adjustments with my partner.
3. Become a more supportive friend:

Specific: I will actively listen to a friend facing a challenge by maintaining eye contact, avoiding interruptions, and offering summaries of their situation.
Measurable: My friend will report feeling supported and understood after our conversation.
Attainable: I will dedicate focused listening time during one conversation with a friend per week for a month.
Relevant: Active listening will help me be a more supportive friend.
Time-bound: I will implement this for one month and then reflect on its impact on our friendship.
Remember, these are just examples. You can modify them to fit your specific needs and goals!
