hello!! i recently started learning French and I wanted to ask if you had any good book recommendations for beginners? I have Le Petit Prince and the first Harry Potter book, but everything I read online is tell me that those are both B1-ish CEFR level so I'm a bit intimidated to start with them since I'm still A1 :(
At an A1 level I’d recommend starting with suuuuper basic children's books, like the ones that are mostly pictures! Once you can string together sentences yourself you can move onto harder books 😊

So I found Aaron Bushnell's reddit and went through his comments/posts. That young man was well read and stable as they can be. Nothing in his writings pointed to someone who was "unstable" or "brainwashed".
He held leftist and anarchist ideals. He belong to the ACAB subreddit. He recognized the evil of the US Military even though he himself was a part of it. He hated TERFS and called out fatphobia. He understood the dangers of white supremecy and the evils of capitalism.
He had a cat. He liked the show fleabag and played elden ring.
Apparently in his will he wants to leave any money in his name to palestinian relief funds. He was trying to find a new owner for his cat.
Rest in peace Aaron Bushnell. The world won't forget & we sure as fuck won't let the media paint you out to be some crazy conspiracy theorist who had no idea what he was doing.

Last weekend I went with my colleague to this wonderful bookshop/museum/cafe right beneath the Sacré Cœur! A tasty treat break was exactly what I needed to complete my psych assignment~

(18/30) 🥲 I did a lot of B2 revision today, but the better I get at French the more I realise that I have so much yet learn. It made me cry earlier, I have a good understanding and I want to interact with the world around me… but I just feel like I sound incredibly unintelligent when I struggle to express anything beyond how my day went, what I did last week etc. The foreign accent I have really doesn’t help with that. 🫠
I made a plan on how I will tackle the oral and the written production sections of the exam, so today wasn’t all bad! Better days are always ahead, and I think that I will take the next week offline just to focus on studying + going a trip to Reims with my partner ! Best of luck for the next 7 days to anyone doing the 30dop/30nym challenge too 🫶✨

(17/30) Today I felt so confident in achieving the goals I set out at the start of the challenge! I went climbing with my bf and he was so surprised at how much I improved since the last time we went together, and also I read a manga entirely in French without needing to look up any words 🫶💕

(16/30) for the next few days I’m making a lil switch from answering the #30nym prompts to basic #30dop posts because the next few questions don’t really apply to me <: Yesterday I took the day off to wander around some museums & bookshops + I treated myself to some spicy ramen and it made me feel SO refreshed! Doing a whole French day today was so much easier after a break :’)

(15/30) How I minimise distractions during study sessions -> tbh not having anything planned for after the study session works wonders for my concentration! If I know I have something fun afterwards I will nawt be thinking about study 😆 Like yesterday it was so hard to focus on anything because I was so excited to see le cercle des poètes disparus (the dead poets society) after work 📚

14/30 - Happy Valentine’s Day ! I submitted a huge Psychology assignment and I couldn’t be happier to have it finished. Now I just have my French B2 exam to study for, which is surprisingly on track 📚❤️

30nym challenge ☕️📚
(12/30) how I use creativity to study -> I like to learn foreign words by thinking of silly little pictures 😛✍️ For example I learned to spell the word maintenant (‘now’ in French) by breaking it up into 👋(main = hand) 🔟 (ten) 🐜 (ant)
(13/30) What time management strategies do you like best -> I can’t think of one single time management strategy that I use on a regular basis 🥲 I mostly rely on getting study done on Thursdays and Saturdays along with just showing up to all my courses/lectures. It’s not a fancy strategy, but it really works 🤷‍♀️

The squeal: I could not get why this word is marked as being spelt wrong?! I was loosing it bcs I'm 100% sure this is how cependant is spelt. It took me way too long to realise it's just... not an English word? 👁👁 But it just looks so right :((

Do you ever just get so tired and end up writing secononondly, unsure why it looks a lil off 👁👁
