Dialogue

Lesson Transcript

Do you know how to assess someone's strengths and weaknesses in French?
You'll learn how in just a moment.
Hi, my name is Fanny, and this is Three Step French by FrenchPod101.com.
In this lesson, you'll learn how to comment on someone's strengths and weaknesses using a simple pattern with être — the verb "to be."
Let's look at the dialogue.
As you listen, pay attention to how they ask about the topic and how the other person responds.
Constance, ta prononciation est bonne, mais travaille les nasales.
D'accord. Quel son dois‑je pratiquer d'abord ?
Le "on." Tu es forte en vocabulaire, faible en liaison.
Je vais écouter des podcasts pour m'améliorer.
Bonne stratégie, tu progresses vite.
Merci pour tes conseils.
Let's hear it with the English translation.
Constance, ta prononciation est bonne, mais travaille les nasales.
"Constance, your pronunciation is good, but work on nasals."
D'accord. Quel son dois‑je pratiquer d'abord ?
"Okay. Which sound should I practice first?"
Pay attention to the next sentence. It follows the key speaking pattern you'll learn later in this lesson.
Le "on." Tu es forte en vocabulaire, faible en liaison.
"The "on." You're strong in vocabulary, weak in linking."
Je vais écouter des podcasts pour m'améliorer.
"I'll listen to podcasts to improve."
Bonne stratégie, tu progresses vite.
"Good strategy, you're progressing quickly."
Merci pour tes conseils.
"Thanks for your advice."
