When you started learning French, you probably had one goal: be able to have a conversation where you can understand and be understood in return. And this is an excellent goal! But as you continue to learn, and as your level increases, you probably want to start sounding more fluent. And this is where it’s incredibly important to start learning the nuances of everyday spoken French.

The differences between technical, written French and everyday spoken French are often subtle. For example, the way that we tend to ask questions in spoken French is different from the way you learned to write questions in your essays and other written assignments.

In this lesson, we’ll go over those differences. We’ll also give you lots of opportunities to practice asking questions in everyday spoken French, so it all becomes more natural to you.
