Je suis Max, je suis Australien.
Virginie, Eric, nous et d’ou? Bienvenue a FrenchPod101! I don’t think I’ve heard your voices before.
Friday at 9:14 am
I’m male by the way, not sure if “Australien” is correct.
Saturday at 3:35 am
Si tu es un homme tu dirais: (if you are a man, you’d say)
Je suis australien.
You were right !
Monday at 2:46 pm
Angele! C’est vous!
Virginie et Eric sont d’ou? Where are they from?
Tuesday at 3:40 am

Tuesday at 4:16 am
Bonjour à tous!
Voilà, je me présente, let me introduce myself (oops…forgot the basics!):
Je viens de Toulouse, dans le sud-ouest de la France, et je suis professeur de français depuis quelques années. I am from Toulouse and I have been a French teacher for a few years.
Very nice to meet you all! And thank you Angèle for letting me know about these comments! Merci!
I hope you enjoyed this lesson, please feel free to comment and comment and comment…
Eric is from New York, and is quite a fast speaker as you may have noticed. Those New Yorkers love to go fast!
I’ll see you in this forum very soon!
A bientôt!

Use “es” if it is followed with a noun.
Tu es Rob.
Tu es Anglaise.
And “est” if it’s followed with an adjective.
Tu est fatiguee.
Is that right?
Friday at 1:38 am
No, ES & EST are two forms of the verb être at the présent de l’indicatif. It’s the conjugaison of the verb être.
Suis is used with je
Es is used with tu etc
Je suis
Tu es
Il , Elle, On est
Vous êtes
Nous sommes
Ils. Elles sont
Friday at 1:42 am
Donc how can you correct your last phrase: Tu est fatigue. ?
Friday at 6:34 am
It’s “Tu es fatigue.”
Donc est is for third person. And es is for second.
Merci beau coup. Je suis desole. I hope I’m not bothering you too much.
Wednesday at 2:05 am
You are correct.
Make sure to add the accent on the last letter and add an -e for the feminine gender as in:
“Tu es fatigué.” for a man
“Tu es fatiguée.” for a woman.
Oh no, you don tbother me. I like to assist people!
Tu es en forme ou tu es fatiguée aujourd’hui ?

I think the lesson audio is broken. It’s only 1 min long and they’re not reading the whole conversation. It suddenly skipped to the vocabs then it’s done.

Bonjour,
Je m’appellez Rana.
Je suis ‘Bangladeshi’.
I’m male. I’m not sure that “Bangladeshi” is correct.
Merci.
Tuesday at 4:02 pm
Hi Rana! Sthanks for joining us!
Waa I never meet someone from the Bangladesh! ^^ nice too meet you!
I checked on Wikipedia ^^;; and you can say Bangladeshi or Bangladais. It’s true that for a French Bangladeshi sounds a little strange instead of Bangladais, but it must be because it’s quite unusual. and Bangladais is more looking like “Portuguais” for example.
Hope that will help you ^^
Keep asking everything you want!
