Ep57 - The word "little" will never be t...

SPEAK LIKE A NATIVE
About this episode

I’ll be honest this is something I say a lot… I realized it when I quickly listened to one of the episode to see if everything was ok. I guess it’s a bad French habit that pervaded my English. Tell me if you noticed it! As a consequence, I strongly believe this is a bad habit you should integrate in your French language. Like everybody in my country, I tend to overuse the word “little”. It’s not really a filler since it conveys different meanings and emotions as well. Today that’s what we’ll study so that your world becomes smaller and cuter

 

In this episode

  • New ways to use the word “little”
  • Speak a more natural and native sounding French
