🎥 Speaking French:

🧾 Intro / Reflection

Still trying to build confidence in French. I’ve been learning it for a year and a half, but never really studied, just memorized answers and passed app quizzes. Switching to my ranking system has helped, since it forces me to use the language, not just recall it.

I still struggle with some grammar; especially du, des, de, and all the little articles that change depending on context. I also made small mistakes like forgetting feminine agreement or missing a “pas” in a negation.

Even with those hiccups, Bronze 2 was easy to pass. Still stacking beermoney apps while I learn, it’s low effort and helps me stay motivated during slower progress weeks. 👇

💸 Earn While You Learn
I like to stack beermoney while I study languages, most of these apps are super low-effort and just give me a nice bonus on top of learning. It’s not job-replacement money, but it adds up, especially since I’ve become more introverted. 👇

✅ Bronze 2 French Test Results

✅ Your Responses:

“J’ai vingt-sept ans”
✔️ Correct, just a spelling correction: vingt, not vignt.
“Quelle est ta couleur préférée ?”
✔️ Excellent! Just remember the accent on préférée (which you got right later).
“J’aime jouer du piano, mais je n’aime manger des pommes”
❌ Slight grammar issues:
- Should be “j’aime jouer du piano” ✔️
- Should be “je n’aime pas manger des pommes” ❗ You missed pas and des should be de here.
  ✅ Corrected: “J’aime jouer du piano, mais je n’aime pas manger de pommes.”
“Il est deux heures quarante-cinq”
✔️ Perfect!
“Aime-tu le musique ?”
❌ Small grammar fixes:
- Should be “Aimes-tu la musique ?”
  (verb needs -s for “tu”, and musique is feminine).
“Je me réveille, je prends le petit déjeuner. J’étudie les langues.”
✔️ Great sentence structure and verb use. (Also nice accent use with réveille and déjeuner.)
“Elle s’appelle Anna et sa couleur préférée est brun.”
❌ Almost! But:
- Brun should be brune (to match feminine noun couleur)
- Better: “Elle s’appelle Anna et sa couleur préférée est le brun.”
“Nous avons un chien”
✔️ Correct! Good present tense of avoir.
Possessive pronouns:
- “Mon ami est américain” ✔️
- “Ma mère s’appelle Johanna” ✔️
- “Ton frère est amusant” ✔️
- “Ta sœur est contente” ✔️
  ➕ Bonus points for covering mon/ma/ton/ta with correct noun gender agreement!

🌟 Verdict: You Pass Bronze 2!

You clearly:

Know how to ask and answer personal questions
Use present tense well
Use possessive pronouns correctly
Understand simple sentence structure with a few vocab/grammar tweaks
