I have been studying French since 2008 and I am now in the stage where I can read books and newspapers. To help me retain some of the vocabulary, I am now reading a novel by Nobel Prize winner, J.M.G. Le Clezio, entitled 'Desert, and everyday, as I read two pages of it, I will take note of some of the vocabulary I've learned.
Here are three words I've chosen today -
1. grommeler - to grumble, to snort
From the book - ' Les chameaux grommelaient, éternuaient.'
My own sentence: 'Les gens grommelaient mais ils pouvaient fait rien à cause de peur des représailles.'
2. éternuer - to sneeze
My own sentence: 'Jéternue quand il y a des allergènes dans l'environnement.'
3. durcir - to harden
From the book - 'La sécheresse avait durci leurs lèvres et leur langue.'
My own sentence: 'La terre a durci à cause du sécheresse.'
