👂🏻Colloquial phrases to listen for:
quoi de neuf ?  ✨🧩 = what's up? - a pretty perfect translation, laid back and familiar. A perfect phrase to start seasoning your stuffy textbook French with some real-life freshness.
t'es une vrai-e ✨ = you're a real one. Used to emphasize someone's characteristic or skill.
génial ✨ = formidable, super = awesome, great. We’re covering the real fundamentals and this is one of them. When learning a language it pays to nearly always be positive - when you want to say something positive (or have nothing else to say in response!) this is your trusty friend.

Amélie

👂🏻Colloquial phrases to listen for:
on s'entend, vous vous entendez = s'entendre bien, s'entendre mal = to get along/to not get along. The most advanced turn of phrase in this dialogue. When French people say "on s'entend bien", they're talking about more than just hearing each other. It's all about getting along like bread and cheese!
plutôt ✨ = assez, relativement = rather, quite. This little word packs a punch, adding a subtle nuance to your sentence. Il est plutôt beau, mon nouveau prof de maths!" (My new math teacher is rather handsome!).
des fois ✨= parfois, quelquefois = sometimes, occasionally = Use this when you want to sound like a true French local.
de temps en temps ✨= occasionnellement = from time to time = This phrase is your go-to for those not-so-frequent occurrences.
