Do the centres do it on purpose? Now that the rechecking option is out of the window too?

I am still confused about this sound. I hear many people pronounce it as ‘r’ in red for French words too.

However, I tried my best to pronounce it the way that French native speakers pronounce (at least in France I guess), but I am at B1 and due to my struggle with ‘r’, I feel more stressed forgetting what I am trying to say.

Also, I feel like I am stuck between trying to say it properly and rather using the English one. I have heard many people use it as English ‘r’ too (I think they are not native speakers but still got good scores in the exam). Is that correct? I don’t want to waste my time just learning to pronounce one sound so much that it hampers my overall learning. Please suggest.

I have seen a few reels on youtube and instagram about how native french speakers hate and sometimes behave rudely/harshly when someone speaks bad french , even if the person is making the best effort to speak properly. How true is this stereotype about french people. One thing i noticed is that most of these reels are based out of Paris so it could be limited to a particular city as well or may be social media influencers doing engagement farming. I am hoping this subreddit should be the right place to get answers about this thing

I am doing my TCF in December 2026 .My speaking is around B1 , looking for someone interested and work on improving speaking side.

For anyone who has taken a DELF level, A1 through B1 or beyond, I'm trying to build a realistic picture of how long each level takes for people learning alongside a full-time job. Which level did you take, what was your starting point, and how long did the preparation really take in weeks and hours per week?

​What was the single biggest waste of time, and what was the single most useful thing? Short answers are fine. 

Les clients d’Airbnb n’auront plus besoin de faire le gros ménage avant de partir. Les nouvelles règles s’appliqueront aux réservations faites à partir du 20 novembre. En général, les hôtes ne pourront plus demander aux clients de retirer les draps ni de faire la lessive avant de partir. Ils ne pourront pas non plus demander aux clients de laver et de ranger la vaisselle. De plus, les clients n’auront pas besoin de sortir les poubelles. Airbnb dit que le grand ménage devrait être fait par des professionnels.

Vocabulaire : avoir besoin de = to need / ménage (m) = cleaning / règles (f pl) = rules / hôtes (m pl) = hosts / demander = to ask / retirer = to remove / draps (m pl) = sheets / lessive (f) = laundry / ranger = to put away / vaisselle (f) = dishes / poubelles (f pl) = trash

English translation

Airbnb guests will no longer have to do major cleaning

Airbnb guests will no longer have to do major cleaning before they leave. The new rules will apply to bookings made from November 20. Hosts will generally no longer be allowed to ask guests to remove bed sheets or do laundry before they leave. They also won’t be able to ask guests to wash and put away dishes. In addition, guests will not have to take out the trash. Airbnb says the major cleaning should be done by professionals.

Hey,
I have few questions for you.
What syllabus did you follow?
How did you divide it into each day of study?
How long did it take(along with your hours per day)?
How did you stay consistent for that period?

Thank you. This will help me a lot.

I am not getting this concept to stick in my brain. Avez-vous des astuces pour ça? Comment je peux distinguer quel mot je dois utiliser dans le contexte de « still », « yet », et « again » ?

Need some opinions from anyone who uses this app before I commit because it's quite a bit of money

I did the trial and had a great time with it!

I understand that 'é' is more like 'ay' and 'è' is like 'eh', like in the word 'bet', but I feel like when I put these sounds into words they just both sound like 'ay'
