Je suis toujours curieux : quelle est la différence entre le Basic Bootcamp et les leçons “Beginner” ?

Je suis très heureux que Virginie est retourné

Puis, la traduction de “Madame” n’est pas “Miss”. C’est “Mrs”, non ? “Mrs” est “Madaemoiselle” en français, je crois

D’ailleurs, c’est “s’appele’, pas “s’appelle”.

It is confusing. But here it is clarified:

Madame => Mrs
Mademoiselle (non mariée) => Miss

Elle s’appelle Madame Dupont.

Hi

Here is the difference between the two series:

Basic boot camp
It has been built for people who are real beginner and never heard a word of French. It is an introductory level. If you had no notions of French at all that would be the lesson series to start with. THe level is for people from 0 to 10 % level of fluency.

Beginner series
It is meant for people who have some basic or knowledge about the language. I’d say have a 10-20 % fluency level.

Merci d’avoir expliqué la différence entre les deux séries.

Eric a dit qu’on traduit “Madame” par “Miss” (04:03), et Virgine a dit qu’on épele l’infinitif de “m’appelle” comme “s’appelle’ (05:50). C’est ces erreurs que j’ai mentionnées

Bonjour!

Angele said that beginner lessons are advanced to bootcamp.
So can you explain when to use newbie series?
I´m an absolut beginner starting from zero, so which sequence of courses should I take?

Le bisou is so important in France with men and women. Virginie said that French men, as a rule do not kiss each other. I live in Cannes, in the south east of France, so perhaps it is different in this region. All my male friends kiss each other, all the time with each greeting and departure. They only shake hands the first time. Kisses can tell everyone in the room if you have met before, what your relationship is or if the person who is introducing you is familiar. When I broke up with my french (from Toulouse) boyfriend of three years, all I had to do was refuse to allow him to kiss my cheek. The entire room held its breath as I turned away and remained extremely uncomfortable the entire evening. We never had to say a word to each other. Once he got the message, I had to allow him to bisou me next time we greeted each other in public or it would have caused too much trouble. The kiss says it all.
