30+ Blogging Vocabulary Terms in French
When learning another language, one of the most important things that you can do is learn vocabulary you’ll actually use.
Forget all of the textbook word lists that encourage you to learn how to talk about currencies no longer used, cassette tapes and Walkmans, or terms for sports you have no interest in. Instead, create your own lists.
Decide what your passions are and *you* need to know in your target language to successfully have a conversation.
For me, one of the big parts of what I do and how I identify is as a blogger. I’ve hosted Eurolinguiste for a few years now, and so whenever I introduce myself it goes a little something like this:
Someone else: “So what do you do for a living?”
Me: “I’m a musician, but I’m also a blogger. I run a site where I share my love of languages and techniques for becoming a more effective learner.”
It makes sense that I’d want to learn how to do this in the other languages I speak, too!
Blogging Vocabulary in French
I know I’m not alone as a French-speaking blogger so I spent some time curating this list of blogging terms and vocabulary in French. Knowing these words has helped me immensely in sharing more about myself and what I do with my French-speaking friends and family, so I wanted to share the words I’ve found useful with you.
There aren’t a whole lot of word lists out there related to blogging, and since a lot of us share our experiences studying languages through our sites and vlogs, I thought you might enjoy this post.
Without further ado, here are some useful words and phrases to describe your blogging habit in French.
