The Rosetta Stone's inscriptions are incomplete, as sections of the original stone slab are missing. French has a reputation as the language of love, but there are many other reasons to fall in love with French. It’s the sixth most widely spoken language in the world and the only other language besides English spoken on all five continents. With over 220 million speakers, French is regarded as a language that is useful not only for cuisine, fashion, and travel but also in a competitive, international job market where France has the fifth-largest economy.

Pronouns replace nouns and eliminate repetition. Rarely more than 2-3 letters, they’re short and sweet words. The most difficult part about French pronouns is identifying them in speech, since they’re single syllable words and easily blend into longer sentences. You may even be tempted to gloss over them when reading or writing in French, but be warned! Pronoun usage can absolutely make or break a sentence. Direct object pronouns are, as their name suggests, pronouns that are used as direct objects in a sentence. An object is the noun that receives the action of the verb. “Direct” means that there are no prepositions or other objects that come between it and the verb. Take this example: French has thousands of adjectives, but this list is the perfect place for beginner learners to start. Here, you’ll find commonly used adjectives, along with their English translations for a variety of topics, from describing people to identifying colors. French adjectives to describe a person (physical attributes) French

In the table below, you’ll notice that some of our personal prepositional object pronouns are the same ones we’ve previously seen as subject, direct object, and indirect object pronouns, like nous and vous. French A subject pronoun is one that is used as a subject in a sentence. The subject of a sentence is the noun that produces the action of the verb. Take this example:

That said, your speaking and listening comprehension will be limited to the material contained within the course. This is typical for any language learning product. French nouns can be either masculine or feminine. This applies to every noun—not just people!—and as you solidify your French speaking skills, you’ll see that gender is arbitrary. It’s best learned through repeated practice and exposure to vocabulary. And yes, stones - columns, statues, stele - were constantly reused by many civilisations and turned into rubble. One has only to visit the Citadel in Cairo to see that. So, again, my point: why the reprimand to Europeans implicit in your quote? "?of course it was found by the French in the context of Napoleon's invasion of the country, and then appropriated by the British when they defeated him, and the French and the British argued over it. No-one seems to have considered that it belonged to neither of them."There are some commonly used French words and phrases that make up the bulk of the language, and learning these will give you an excellent foundation. And it’s not just the greetings like bonjour, merci, or s’il vous plaît that you might need in everyday situations. It’s also good to learn the words that the French sprinkle throughout their sentences, like quoi, où, qui, quand, tellement, rien, and comment. So it is a surprisingly optimistic thing, reminding us that nationalistic conflicts can sometimes end up producing empathy and understanding. Although it has been battered by its long history and is not exactly beautiful, the fact that it still fascinates so many people - including the over six million visitors who see it at the British Museum each year - seems to me utterly wonderful. You might be wondering why the object comes before, rather than after, the verb. This is a major difference between English and French. In English, objects come after the verb, in French, they come before it. So, our brains must think a little differently about sentences. This is THE MOST FUN app I have ever used for language learning. And I have used many. It doesn’t rely on grammar and spelling memorisation like so many apps do which can make the process of learning boring and frustrating, and makes you not actually acquire the language in the most intuitive, immersive and natural way possible. Rosetta Stone is different as it does NOT make you translate anything, so you end up THINKING in the target language, which leads to fluency much faster. Do recommend.”— Paris Williams Adjective agreement in French is essential to using adjectives correctly. The basic guidelines to remember are: add an “-e” for feminine agreement and “-s” for plural agreement. Learners also need to remember that adjectives follow the noun in a sentence, unless it’s an adjective of beauty, age, goodness, or size.
