(no subject)

I used to think Canadian bilingual food-and-other-grocery-store-things labels didn’t do much to improve the French fluency of Anglophones several provinces away from Quebec, but vaguely recalling a word that appeared on some packaging has been very helpful in the first half of the Duolingo French course. I’ve basically been going around for years with a French vocabulary consisting almost entirely of nouns and the occasional adjective, and just now learning verbs and grammar to make actual sentences out of them.
