✅ TIP 1: Prepare your ground with reusable sentences

You don’t need to speak like Victor Hugo to have a real conversation.

But you do need a survival kit: ready-made, simple sentences you can reuse in almost any situation.

For example:

  • I think that…
  • In my opinion…
  • That’s a good question.
  • That’s a pretty complicated situation.
  • I’m not sure, but I think that…

These are easy structures, used by French people every day, that let you buy time to think, structure your answer, and sound more fluent immediately.

🧠 Prepare a list of 10 sentences like this. Learn them by heart. Repeat them. You’ll see, they’ll come out automatically at the right time.

 

✅ TIP 2: Don’t look for the perfect word, choose the possible word

When you speak, you often want to find the exact word. But this perfectionism paralyzes you.

âžĄïž You want to say “irresistible,” but you can’t find it… so you say nothing.

âžĄïž You want to say “deep,” but it doesn’t come… silence.

Solution: use a simple word you already know.

💡 Don’t know “irresistible”? Say “very pretty” or “super nice.”

💡 Can’t find “deep”? Say “important” or “not easy to explain.”

👉 The goal isn’t to shine, it’s to communicate. And French people themselves use simple words all the time.

🧘‍♀ Relax, choose what you know, and move forward. That’s how you progress!

 

✅ TIP 3: Speak, even if you make mistakes

You may be waiting for “the right moment,” “the right word,” “the right level”…

But that moment will never come if you don’t practice speaking.

💬 In reality, you learn to speak… by speaking.

Not by reading. Not by watching videos. By opening your mouth and jumping in, again and again.

And yes, you will make mistakes.

But you will also:

✅ gain fluency

✅ learn to correct your mistakes naturally

✅ get used to the rhythm of French

✅ start thinking in French

🎯 The key is consistency, not perfection.

And above all, don’t wait to be ready to speak.

It’s by speaking that you’ll become ready.
