Today's French lesson is all about the verb FAILLIR in French. Faillir doesn't really have an exact translation in English, at least not as a verb. In French, faillir means "To almost do something." It's always followed by an infinitive verb and primarily conjugated in the passé composé with avoir.

    In Old and Middle French "faillir" used to mean "to fail", and this sense is retained to date in formal speech as "faillir à qch''(=to fall short of sth).

    I'm currently taking beginner french in college as an online course and I have to say it's been a nightmare. Thank you for posting all of these videos, I cannot begin to tell you how helpful it has been for me. You make thing's so much easier to understand, and it helps me feel like I'm not drowning as much.

    I have been pursuing English literature and come across with the sense that French is very much expressive language. However, i found your voice much interesting without knowing anything of french. Now, i am listening and listening to have the sound in my core beautiful portion of heart. Honestly, every time i listen to you, i fall in love with you. So, petrachan is in nature.😊❤
