Une méthode pour VRAIMENT élever ton niveau de français

Never use these words in a professional context, at work, or in a formal situation. Attention, don't use them! My students, they always say And honestly, it's fine if you're a beginner to make sentences with VERY. But if you want to take your French to the next level, elevate your proficiency, and enrich your vocabulary, It is now and here that you will learn new words. Words that, believe me, will make a real difference in your level of French. So, very well, it's a bit of a universal key, a wild card, and it works very well. That's precisely the problem. It works so well that we no longer make the effort to find a more suitable word. We no longer make the effort! Even we French people, even I myself, sometimes don't make the effort to find the most suitable word. I use it ALL THE TIME, it's easy, it's very effective. The first solution to this is to use an adjective that already carries the idea of intensity within it. Let me show you and take some small notes. If you are very tired, I am very tired. Instead, you can say, "I am exhausted." The adjective "épuisé" carries within it intensity; it means I am very tired. But it's a bit more stylish, a bit more advanced. You can also say I'm exhausted. That's rather informal French, a bit slangy. There's one I really like, I'm completely worn out. As if you were inside a washing machine that spins and spins and spins. You have the impression that your day was like being inside a washing machine. So you can say, "I'm worn out." I am very beautiful, he is very handsome. What can we replace "very beautiful" or "very handsome" with? Then there is a plethora of adjectives. Plenty means many adjectives. Splendid, magnificent, superb, sublime, awesome. It's canonical, very good. It's impeccable, it's perfect, it's excellent. It's very interesting, it's fascinating, it's amazing. It is captivating, it is enriching. I am very happy, I am delighted. I am very happy to be filming this video. I am delighted, I am thrilled. You can also say "I am overjoyed" or "I am ecstatic." I am in heaven, as if I were with the angels. Well, I admit that it might be a bit exaggerated. I'm not exactly thrilled about making this video. I am happy, I am delighted, and I am not euphoric either. One must not exaggerate. I am very sad, I am broken. I am devastated, I am utterly broken. I am very surprised, I am astonished. Stupefied (masculine form). I'm stunned, I'm stunned. French is very difficult. French is exhausting, exhausting. Nelly is very funny. Nelly is hilarious, absolutely laugh-out-loud funny. Yeah, I'm hilarious, I'm dying of laughter. Very calm, serene, peaceful. On the contrary, I am very angry. I'm furious, over a boy. Furious, for a girl. Very strong, powerful. Very dear, outrageously expensive. Very small, minute. Minute, minute. As if we had to look at him under a microscope. Very large, gigantic, monumental. Very bad, catastrophic. Infected, horrifying. You will use different words depending on the context. For example, you are at a restaurant and you are eating a very bad dish. You can say the dish is disgusting. I also want you to know that there are equivalents to "very." For example, I'm sure you've already heard of it a lot. That's really interesting. It's extremely expensive. We say that quite often too. You can also hear it really well. He's really nice. That's really interesting. I'm really tired right now. I am extremely tired. All of this, so all of this is rather informal. And especially this one—I think you know it and really like it. Very much, like a cow. This dish is really delicious. This is really delicious what you've cooked. Very much. There's one last one we use instead of "very." It's too much. One shouldn't use it like that. Because too much means excess. When there is something in excessive quantity. For example, if I tell you, you're working too much. That means you're working excessively. You work more than you should really work. But in everyday language, in natural French, one often hears it. I'm so happy. That's awesome. Too much does not mean excess. He means very. It means a lot. So you can use those words in a rather informal context. With your friends, for example. It's great, it's really interesting. But in a professional context. For a French exam. Or a formal letter. It's much better to use the words I showed you in the first part of the video. I am exhausted. That is remarkable. It's fascinating, it's impressive. It is tiny. Once again, everything is a matter of adapting to the context. One must know how to vary language registers. I will repeat it in all my videos if necessary. I want you to do the exercise I ask you to. Write a sentence using a word of your choice in the comments. You must replace "very" and use an adjective we learned today. You do it right away now in the comment. A short sentence. Don't be afraid. Even if you've never left a comment. It's the first time today. That's perfect. Write a comment. It takes you 30 seconds. That will help you memorize it. If this video helped you, give me a little thumbs up. Above all, subscribe to the French channel with Nelly. To never miss a video. A small support. It always gives me great pleasure. Can you offer me a virtual coffee on BuyMeACoffee?
