If you know these words in French, we can say that you have an advanced level, level B2. In any case, that you have good vocabulary knowledge. Hello everyone, hello everyone, my name is Nelly, I am a French teacher and today let's see 15 advanced vocabulary words. First of all, I would like to wish you a happy new year 2024. I hope it will bring you everything you want: love, money, happiness and of course, lots of French, lots of progress in French. Finally achieve the goal you set for yourself with the language. And for that, I will help you. I will be there in 2024 posting one video per week on YouTube and Instagram. Sometimes I'll show you a picture and you'll have to tell me the word. We'll see if you can find it. And the other times, I will give you the word directly and you will tell me in the comments if you know it. We start right away with an image. What is this thing called? It's a shell, a shell "She liked to collect shells on the beach." The tide, the tide, another word which is linked to the sea. The tide is the variation in the level of the oceans. There is high tide and low tide. “At low tide, you can find more shells on the beach.” Waste, waste. To waste is to throw away or not use something that could have been used. For example, food waste is when you throw away food. We can also waste money: “You waste your money on useless things”. 4th word: It's not a lake, it's smaller. It's a pond, a pond. We don't pronounce the G, or a pond: "The village pond is full of frogs." Then, a dromedary, a dromedary. Not to be confused with the camel. The camel, which has two humps, because there are two syllables, and the dromedary has only one hump (and three syllables!). 6th word: A word that I find magnificent, twilight. Do you know what twilight is? Twilight is the time between sunset and night . The sun sets and then you see quite orange colors, very warm, just before nightfall. “Twilight provides beautiful evening colors in the sky.” Do you see that moment of satisfaction when you understand a slightly complicated word in French and when you manage to use it in a conversation? I don't know about you, but I find it's a pretty magical feeling to feel like you've mastered the language. At least, that's my feeling when I learn English and I manage to use an advanced word, or understand it. I have been continuing my language learning with Lingoda for several months now and I feel real progress. This is an online language school that really works for me. I attend group classes and it allows me to progress at my own pace and take a class when I have time. I can practice the language and benefit from the teachers' corrections and frankly, I felt a real difference in my expression in English. If you also want to take charge of your French learning at the start of the year and you are motivated, I invite you to try Lingoda's "Sprint Challenge". The "Sprint Challenge" is 30 French lessons over 2 months, and the "Super Sprint" is 60 lessons over 2 months, one lesson per day. And if you complete the challenge, you receive 50% cashback. There are more than 50,000 students who have already joined the adventure. I'm one of them, why not you? With my special code, you have a reduction of €20 or $25 in addition to the 30% already offered by Lingoda. We continue with the 7th word: The twilight, the twilight. So, in half-light, there is “shadow”. Maybe you know "shadow". Penumbra is very weak, subdued, very soft light. It's almost in the shadows. “I don’t like walking in the dark at night.” 8th word: I'll give you the image. So, several possibilities for this one. A chill, a shiver, or the expression "to have goosebumps". To have goosebumps, the flesh is the skin, and the chicken is the animal. She has skin that has a bit of this texture. So, it's a slight quiver, tremor when you feel a strong emotion, when you are moved, or when you have a fever and you are sick. “This music gives me chills.” 9th word: Engagement, engagement. I know you know the word fiancé, so an engagement is when we become engaged, a few months before the wedding. They celebrated their engagement in a restaurant. A sprain, a sprain. It's when you get injured, for example in your ankle. “He sprained himself playing football.” Then, next word, I'll show you. It's that part of the eye there, above the eyelashes. I'm sure you guessed. We call it the eyelid. “I have makeup on my eyelid.” The laundry room, the laundry room. The laundry room is a small room in some houses in which you can do laundry, take care of laundry and clothes. There is the washing machine, the iron: “This house is equipped with a beautiful laundry room”. Hardware, hardware. Not easy to pronounce. It's this little store in which you can buy tools , DIY materials, but also anything made of copper: pots, cooking or cleaning accessories: "I bought some tools at the hardware store. " Penultimate word: This little animal that looks cute but can be a little aggressive is a goose. With the connection, a goose. I saw a goose on the lake. Our 15th and final word: leather goods, leather goods. Leather goods is a place where you can buy various leather items, such as belts or handbags. I bought a very beautiful leather bag at the leather goods store. I deliberately chose only names, common names that come from very different worlds, to see if you master the vocabulary of different themes. I could do the same thing with verbs, for example verbs that belong to level B2. I definitely want to know your score out of 15, tell me in the comments. Once again, this does not guarantee that you are at level B2 or not, it is just a small vocabulary test to position yourself. But nothing replaces a real teacher to assess your level. Obviously, you can find the transcription of this lesson in the blog which appears in the description of the video. I would like to take this opportunity to tell you that my book, "The French Naturally", is coming out soon, in which you will be able to find techniques to enrich your lexicon and move to the next level with much more elaborate and advanced words. I 'll put a link in the description if you want to be informed when the book is released. I'll see you soon in the next video. Take good care of yourself, hello!
