In a new French video, the host introduces her friend Adina, a 29-year-old from Romania, to discuss her journey with the French language. They initially met when the host's team, working on a final year project about agriculture, traveled to Romania to film a report and Adina, then a University of Bucharest student, helped translate for 10 days. Adina, who has lived near Lyon, France for three years and is now married with a baby, shares her path to fluency. She began learning French at age 12 in school, further honed her skills with classes at the French Institute in Bucharest, and profoundly improved during an Erasmus semester in Brussels, a Master's in Grenoble, and particularly through daily immersion while living in France. Adina advises French learners to "dare to speak" and not fear making mistakes. She expresses fondness for expressions like "poignées d'amour" (love handles) and the word "coquelicot" (poppy), and recently learned phrases like "tunneling" (one person dominating a conversation) and "ça meule" (it's freezing). Her challenges include navigating the nuances of professional communication, mastering masculine/feminine gender rules, difficulty with mental calculations involving French numbers, and pronouncing similar-sounding words like "vin" (wine), "vent" (wind), and "vingt" (twenty).
