Growing up in southwest Louisiana we heard many of these. Lache pas la patate, don’t give up. If you were outside on Friday night you could hear from the racetrack loudspeaker, ils sont partis, and they’re off, when the horses left the gate. And when we got in the car with my grandfather, as we are leaving, he would say, allons, let’s go. ⚜️
I dont eat much so in a restaurant I would say je mange comme un petit oisieau. One day a friendly waiter said it is better to say je mange comme une moineau. The next time I used it the waiter was really impressed and said it showed I lived in France and not a tourist.
Merci While googling came across two more gems: chasse patate or wild goose chase and patate chaude meaning exactly the same as its english translation. Merci beaucoup
I can't find the expression now, please help! It was in reference to French value of (to enjoy something, ex picnic) "using the things we already have" or "with the things we already have"?? Merci
❤ Géraldine ❤ Bonjour ❤ I have a pronunciation problem. How to pronounce Automne ? Some say it ends with m pronounced. Some say it ends with n pronounced. ChatGPT says neither m nor n are pronounced leaving an aw sound, nasalized o. I thought m nasalizes the o, leaving the n pronounced ( due to the final e ). Can you put this in one of your pronunciation videos?
❤ Géraldine ❤ J'ai une problème, ... dupuis si longtemps. How does one say "It's warm." in French? Warm - There doesn't seem to be a distinction in French for 'Warm' and 'Hot'. I do like to make a little small talk. A little weather talk sometimes helps. I would like to say, "It's nice outside, but it's a little warm. " Or phrases like that with "Cool". And possibly other words and situations. I hope the answers will be in Modern Spoken French register. Thanks for your teaching of Modern Spoken French and Fast French.

I have a pronunciation problem.
How to pronounce Automne ?
Some say it ends with m pronounced.
Some say it ends with n
pronounced.
ChatGPT says neither m nor n are pronounced leaving an aw sound, nasalized o.
I thought m nasalizes the o, leaving the n pronounced ( due to the final e ).
Can you put this in one of your pronunciation videos?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Geraldine,pleasure to attend your lessons.How did you know English?
❤❤❤❤❤
Je ne pas utilser ce mot ‘la flemme’ cars reminds to much about of the English word phlegm (pronounced flem) which means mucus!
Cool!
Chouette!!!😉
@ 4:28- How would you pronounce: "Je souhiate pour une chouette." ?? 🦉
❤ Géraldine ❤
J'ai une problème, ... dupuis si longtemps.

Merci pour les expressions, mais on y va est je file?
Mais, attendez - une phrase a change a le fin du video! Ce n'etait pas 'on y va' apres c'est parti; c'etait 'allez, je file!'
Je viens de remarquer la même chose! 😊🤭
On y va? in Recap, I don't see it in the lesson.
It was supposed to be "Allez, je file".
Dear Geraldine, grammatical English dictates ‘here are 10 phrases’. English does not have ‘il y a’ for there is or there are.
