It is possible to do video lesson, for the same price :) I know it is not in my description ( because I don't want to "have to") but if you ask it is possible.

    Yes, I agree. Treasure your time as a youth. Experience the best things in life while you have the freedom to do so. Seek out what things you are passionate about early on. You will pick up more passions later in life, but don't put off seeking them now. Here are some things that help me with having the right perspective. All 4 quotes are from the same speech: "Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life." Continued in the comments...

    I forgot to mention, I'm looking for the informal tense. I realize that I mentioned that it would be speaking to someone "for the first time", but in my experience, all the French speakers I have talked to on the internet immediately ask me to speak with them in the informal tense. Thanks.

    How do you say in French: Would you tell me what you did yesterday? So imagine that I'm doing a language exchange with a native French speaker for the first time. I want to get to know them and keep the conversation interesting. I have prepared some questions ahead of time that I will ask. Here is a few of them. Will you help me translate the questions to French so that I can speak it the way a French person would expect to hear it? Thanks in advance! Would you tell me what you did yesterday? Do you have plans for this weekend? Will you tell me about your family? Thank you again.

    How would a French person ask someone... "What kind of things do you like to do when you go out with friends?" I'm not looking for a literal translation of this, but more of how to ask this so that I wouldn't get funny looks. :-) Thanks.

    What are some common dinner meals for French families with children? If you have any recipes (or links to recipes), that would be great too! I'm interested in what is mostly common. Thanks.

    Oh my! What terrible formatting they have here on iTalki. It removed all my paragraph spacing. If you would like to know more, feel free to "friend" me and I will give you my email.

    For Beginners: TV Show "Extr@" in French (13 25-minute episodes) This show was created in Great Brittain for the purpose of language learning. Because of this, the French dialog is at a reasonable pace, and it's available in a few other languages as well. It is also subtitled, so it can be easier to follow. You can also turn the subtitles off if you are practicing listening comprehension. It has 13 episodes, and is basically a spin-off of the American "Friends" series, but at a "high-schooler appropriate" level of content. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nV6SDDlc60g&list=PLAZxBB3JZTj7w3caHHt37WBmqVXSLyhw5 Le Petit Nicolas (52 12-minute episodes) This is a fun cartoon, but no subtitles. http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0C7B55FAA054C80D Yabla French french.yabla.com This is a subscription-based educational site. It's $10/month and has an assortment of hundreds of short videos of real-life things in the French language. All of the videos have both French and English subtitles which can be turned on or off individually. You can also play videos back in slow motion, click on words to get an instant definition and translation, and use the video to quiz yourself on the words used in the video. www.listentofrench.org A fantastic list of video clips that include subtitles. This is for intermediate level, but it's all free.
