French Stories For All

Ecole et vin

Bienvenue sur mon podcast  qui a pour titre: "Parler Couramment le Français". Je suis Andy Mondesir, professeur de français sur italki. Aujourd'hui, c'est avec enthousiasme que je vous présente mon podcast français. L'objectif de ce podcast est double :
Premièrement, il vise à vous aider à vous exprimer plus aisément en français.
À parler plus couramment avec confiance, et ensuite à découvrir la beauté de la langue française.
Voici ce que vous allez trouver dans ce podcast :
Nous aurons une partie d'expression orale, des mots d'argot, des phrases, du vocabulaire, des proverbes, et un peu de grammaire. Vous écouterez également des histoires, des actualités, des voyages, de la culture, des émissions télévisées et des dialogues.
Il est toujours bon d'avoir plusieurs outils d'apprentissage dans une langue pour puiser un peu partout. C'est pourquoi je vous encourage à vous abonner à ma chaîne.
Merci et à bientôt pour un nouveau podcast !


Parler couramment le français.

Episode 1 | Present Simple
How? When? Explanations (Eng + Rus)
I will tell you some facts about me using only the Present Simple Tense! 
Let me know if you have any questions and try to write your story in the comment section using the same tense.

Present Simple

The people you meet might respond to uncertainty differently than you. Consider seeing things from their point of view and adapting a little. Listen to this story of Nicole and Susan. 

Nicole likes routines and likes to plan in advance. Every Sunday she spends the afternoon and evening at her parents’ house. Every Monday she meets her best friend for lunch and every Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings she goes to a café and reads. Having some control over what’s going to happen makes her feel safe. Then one day Nicole meets Susan. Susan never plans things in advance, is always late, and prefers to be flexible. She likes to make decisions based on how she’s feeling that day and feels that doing the same thing is limiting. Nicole tried to make plans to meet for coffee in advance, Susan sounds uninterested, but she never gives her definite answers. Her behavior really annoys Nicole. 

With people who don’t mind uncertainty …

Remember that you can learn a lot from the unknown and the unfamiliar.
Show flexibility.
For example:
For me, either way is fine.
Let me know what you’re comfortable with.


With people who avoid uncertainty …

Offer details when making decisions.
Provide a context with background information. 
For example:
The reason I do it this way is…
Let me explain why (I’m doing this).

Show you understand the importance of structure and plans. 
I understand the (structure/flexibility) is important / means a lot to you.
I can see why you (spend time on planning).

Preparing for the IELTS speaking test? Here are some useful tips to help you succeed! First, practice speaking English daily to build fluency. Engage in conversations on various topics to expand your vocabulary. Secondly, structure your answers by using clear introductions, explanations, and examples. This helps examiners follow your thoughts easily. Third, avoid memorizing answers—focus on speaking naturally. It's okay to pause briefly to gather your thoughts. Lastly, improve pronunciation by listening to native speakers and repeating phrases. Stay calm and confident, and remember, the examiner is assessing your communication, not perfection!

Unlock the Olfactory Code: A Linguist's Guide to Scent-Based Memory Encoding

Fellow linguists, ever wondered if there's an untapped sensory pathway to accelerate language acquisition? Move beyond traditional auditory and visual models. In Episode 96 of 111 Tips for Learning a Language, we dissect a fascinating neuromorphic learning strategy: harnessing the Proustian effect for lexical and syntactic retention.

This episode isn't about another app or mnemonic device; it's a deep dive into the privileged neural architecture of the olfactory system and its direct link to the hippocampus and amygdala—the core hubs of memory consolidation and emotional recall. We explore the rigorous science of context-dependent memory and present a methodological framework for creating potent, scent-anchored memory traces.

In this episode, you will discover:

The neurobiological evidence for smell as a superior encoding context.

A replicable protocol for establishing a "signature learning scent" to enhance recall fidelity.

How to architect a scent-vocabulary palette for categorical lexical priming.

The implications of olfactory learning for affective filter reduction and long-term retention.

Forget what you know about learning. Remember with your nose.
