Synonyms for Très
If you want to make your French sound more, well, French, one place to start is with your vocabulary. In French classes, you tend to learn the most common, basic terms. The adverb très is one example of a very common word that can be replaced by any of a number of synonyms, in both normal and informal registers.

About French Language: Bouche bee ~ De vs Des ~ Politeness

From Laura K. Lawless, your Guide to French Language
Bouche bée
Don't just stand there gaping, click to learn the French expression bouche bée.

De vs Du, De la, Des
The preposition de tends to be very difficult for French students, even at advanced levels. Trying to figure out whether to use de, du, de la, or des can be a real challenge! This lesson explains when to use the preposition de all by itself and when to use the indefinite article, partitive article, or de + definite article (which looks like the partitive - but isn't. Ugh!)

Quiz on politeness
How good are you at being polite? Test yourself on French politeness with this little quiz, or take a look at the lesson to review.

Par exemple
There are many lessons on the French expressions par exemple and ça par exemple, like this one, for example.

Easter in France
(Sorry I didn't send this in the last newsletter, but it didn't even exist until Sunday morning. Better late than never!)

Easter is a holiday celebrated even by many non-practicing French Christians. Pâques features flying bells, blessed branches, and chocolate eggs.

Verbs + indirect object pronouns
In French, à plus a person can usually be replaced by an indirect object pronoun. However, a few French verbs and expressions do not allow a preceding indirect object pronoun, so you have to choose another grammatical structure.

The Final French Grammar Clash
It's your last chance to vote in LKL's French Grammar Clash - the best, I mean worst, grammar point will be announced on Thursday.
