Pratiquecompte - Occasionnellement Bilingue, Souvent Perplexe

Bienvenue sur mon blog! C’est quasiment quoi est écrit sur le sous-titre. Je suis anglophone qui utilise ce blog premièrement pour pratiquer ma écriture française. Quelquefois je ferai des posts en anglais mais je souhait que j’aille rester concentré sur mon but.

Vous pouvez utiliser n’importe quoi pronoms pour moi en français. In English any pronouns but it are good.

N’hesitez pas à me poser des questions! Elles sont bonnes pour moi pour m’exercer mes compétences du français.

Un des mes célèbres favoris est Fabien Yoon juste parce que il semble comme il s’amuse avec la vie dans un moyen inoffensif

d’abord, ne t'excuse pas pour ta grammaire, les francophones sont hyper chiants pour la grammaire et franchement tu t'exprimes bien, donc sois fier !

mais j'ai vu que tu voulais t'améliorer, donc je te propose ici une correction du commentaire que tu m'as laissé :

"Ok je comprends ton poste et c’est vraiment pertinent mais maintenant j’ai une autre question parce que sirius et regulus viennent d’une famille très traditionnelle. Pourquoi n'utiliseraient-ils pas le vouvoiement en famille ? Et comment pourrait-on utiliser le vouvoiement pour transmettre un message qui met en valeur la distance entre Sirius et sa famille. Ou est-il absolument interdit de vouvoyer en famille ?"

si tu as le moindre de question sur ma correction, n’hésite pas à m'envoyer un DM, je suis toujours content d'aider un étudiant de la langue française :)

Merci! Vous êtes très sympa et cette correction est très outil pour moi. Aussi vous êtes bienvenue de m’envoyer un DM aussi sur Harry Potter ou le MDZS si vous voudriez
