I'm Lexie. I know how it feels to live abroad and be misunderstood and confused most of the time. I’ve been there. Many times!
Today I speak three languages fluently (French, English & Portuguese), and my students have seen similar results with their French skills! They now navigate their daily life confidently and without any stress in France.
This is not magic! I made it my mission to help them, and you, feel fully integrated in your new home. You can do this! And I'm going to show you how!
As a Portuguese speaker, what confuses me is that “an”and “en” are Not only equal but are not a nasal “a”, as indicated, but go towards nasal o, it is very unique. Then, “on” is really a rounded nasal “o”. But “in” is not a nasal “in”, like in Portuguese sim, but actually a nasal a, like in rã or fã, the latter actually sounding like French fin.
