Hi! I am a medical student from the US looking to practice French! I'm interested in working with MSF after residency and am hoping to improve my French until then. I am a native English speaker and currently live in Nebraska (supposedly the US state with the clearest accent!). I'd love the opportunity to practice any French, with an emphasis on professional and medical French. Over the summer, I spent some time in France, during which my French friends tried to help me with my accent. In return, I can hopefully provide help with speaking, reading, and writing in familiar or professional English! Thanks!

    Lack of confidence

    For those who are used to reading my posts,I like listening to podcasts while I go to walk to work by foot.Even if I don't always understand the whole mp3,it helps me to get used to the speech pace.It's strange because I've noticed that I am able to understand a whole topic when someone describes a scene or a fact.It's harder sometimes to follow a group of people,most of the time when native speakers talk together.I mean,if a person talk and describes something or tells a story,it's easier.
    It's like in English there are different levels of comprehension. Some movies are quite easy and others, really tough ! Breaking bad is at my level but CSI is very hard to understand.
    That why when I struggle with these movies or series I feel really bad and lose my confidence.

     

    I feel the same way! Depending on the series, my level of understanding can really vary. For example, Sense 8 on Netflix in French went well for me. But when I try to watch Scrubs in French, they speak way too fast or something!

    Molecular model

    Can you please help me correcting THE MISTAKES OF ENGLISH in this short lesson of on chemistry?

    Know:
     The properties of molecules.
     The three physical states of matter.

    Know-how:
     Describe and recognize the three physical states of matter through sentences and diagrams.

    I - The properties of molecules

    In a molecular model, all matter is seen as a gathering of small objects called molecules. These molecules are considered to possess the following properties:
    - They are small (about 0,000 000 001 m that is 1 nanometer)
    - Spherical
    - Of constant shape
    - Indivisible

    NB: all molecules have different masses but, when they belong to the same chemical species, their masses are identical. For instance, two molecules of water have the same mass but a molecule of water doesn’t have the same mass as that of than a molecule of ozone.

    II - Modeling the three states of matter

    Last year, you have learned that matter can exist in three forms, which are called physical states: solid, liquid, and gas.

    Exercise n°1 : after reading the descriptions below, link the diagrams of the physical states of matter to the text that best describes each of them.

    In solids, molecules are compactly arranged. They don’t move and are strongly linked to each other. Moreover (maybe you mean additionally? "Moreover" implies that you are further clarifying your previous sentence, when it sounds more like you're adding additional information), when solid matter is a crystal, molecules are arranged in lines.
    In liquids, molecules are compactly gathered, but they are disordered. They can move freely. 

    In gases, molecules are disordered and at a distance from each other. They move very quickly and in all directions.

    Exercise n°2: write in the ballons the physical state of matter corresponding to each description.

    Penance, a Japanese movie

    I watched this movie a month ago. I heard about it a long time ago but it wasn't in the nearest theaters in my city any theaters near me and I didn't want to download the movie illegally. So I watched and waited until I forgot about it. Then in Arte, a French cultural channel, decided to show the two parts of the movie which lasted around four hours.

    It's talks about a school girl getting killed by a stranger in the building where we can do people play sports. Before the girl was murdered four of his her friends saw the face of the killer. When the police asked the girls how was to describe the face of the stranger they said that they didn't remember.

    After that "life goes on" for these girls until one day, when they went together to deliver a gift to Emili's house on her birthday. give a gift for the birthday of Emili (the one who died) in her house.

    During "the party" the mother get got furious and said she's not going to forgive these girls because they can't remember the face of the killer, therefore thus the title "penance".

    Then things get serious. We are now fifteen years later The movie cuts to the life of these girls fifteen years later. The movie is cut such that as each chapter represents the life of one girl, there's are four, and on each we see how they are going doing their penance.

    It was an intriguing movie with sometimes occassional dark comedy. I highly recommend it if you like thrillers.

    My professional project

    From now on, I will dedicate myself to a vocational training with the aim of obtaining a Medical Secretary graduation certificate.
    I have a good level of French and I like the contact with people.
    So I think those are my best assets for this work.

    The profession requires a great sense of organization.
    I will also have to learn the medical terminology, even if the words (you can also say "vocabulary" instead of "words") are sometimes difficult.
    I hope that next year, I will obtain my graduation certificate.
