Why it matters

[modifier | modifier le wikicode]

Learners who have only studied written French often struggle to follow conversations and TV series. You need to learn to understand informal speech, even if you don't have to imitate it.

French distinguishes informal (familier), standard (courant) and formal (soutenu) registers.
