Mastering Word Order in Different Languages: Un Hack Pour Apprendre les LanguesAvant de te lancer dans l’apprentissage d’une nouvelle langue, it’s smart de comprendre la structure de base des phrases. Je ne parle pas juste de savoir dire please et thank you (même si c’est important et poli), mais plutôt de connaître où placer le sujet, le verbe et l’objet.💡 Pourquoi c’est important ? Parce que traduire mot à mot sans respecter l’ordre des mots peut mener à des erreurs embarrassantes (system solar au lieu de solar system, ça vous dit quelque chose ? 😅).Dans cette vidéo, on va voir ensemble comment sont structurées les phrases en anglais, français, espagnol, italien, russe, arabe et chinois, avec des exemples concrets pour que tu puisses mieux formuler tes propres phrases.🔹 Sujet – Verbe – Objet (SVO) : La structure la plus courante🔹 Placement des adjectifs et adverbes : Pourquoi en français on dit voiture rouge et en anglais red car ?🔹 Exemples concrets dans plusieurs langues pour bien visualiser les différencesSi tu apprends une langue qui suit une structure complètement différente, laisse un commentaire !
