I’m a native Spanish speaker from Puerto Rico, fully bilingual in English. I have two and a half years of Italian studies and one year of French. I just started Portuguese (Brazilian) and I find it way easier to understand than French. In spite of having studied one year of French and just starting Portuguese I can understand spoken Portuguese easily but still have difficulty with French. Maybe it has to do with the complexity of French phonetics and the similarity between Spanish and Portuguese.

Whaaaa I’m going to do the DELF B2 for French and I only know 4th year hs French 😬😬 Wish me luck going to study really hard Update: still haven’t done the test but I’ve decided I’m going to do the B1. I don’t think I won’t be able to make it but rather I think I’ll think I won’t be able to make it. So I’m going to hopefully do the B2 next year
Pour moi, je ne fais pas grand-chose le week-end, je fais la même chose encore et encore. J’aime sortir avec mes amis et rentrer à la maison pour me détendre un peu ou peut-être finir un peu de homeowrk. Ensuite, le vendredi, j’étudierai presque toute la matinée et sortirai le soir! Le samedi est très ennuyeux parce que je ne fais qu’étudier mais j’ai parfois des pauses 😁
Bon pour le weekend, j’aimerais bien passer plus de temps avec ma famille en s’amusant bien sûr.J’en profite aussi pour réviser mes cours,mais surtout de ne pas faire les tâches ménagères.Bon, puisque je suis en chômage maintenant, tous les jours sont pareils, autrement dit, touts les jours sont,pour moi, le weekend 😅
Why don’t they use their own word/ vocabulary weekend in French🇲🇫 language, instead of using borrowing from 🇬🇧? Good languages speakers don’t messing up with others languages together when they speak that specific language. Otherwise it shows that the person doesn’t handle that specific language that she’s speaking or forgetting the vocabularies. I love 💘 French language and I think it’s the most beautiful language in this planet earth 🌏 😍
