Learn French Watching Amélie !

In this video I break down a famous scene from the movie Amélie!

He says:

Ça fait des années qu’on (ne) s’est pas parlé - It’s been years since we’ve spoken

Ça fait + time = it’s been

Par exemple :

Ça fait 2 jours - it’s been 2 days

Ça fait une heure - it’s been 1 hour

Then you can add que if you want to add something to the phrase:

Ça fait 2 ans qu’on se connaît - We’ve known each other for 2 years (Kind of like “it’s been 2 years that we know each other”)

This is a pretty easy way to sound more natural in French and to learn more stuff like this, be sure to watch the full video!

And if you’ve been studying French for awhile and you STILL haven’t seen the result you want, you need a coach! I’m still accepting private French students, but space is filling up fast!
