entretien The French word for 'interview' is 'entretien'. It is used in the same way as in English - during job application processes, journalistic inquiries, academic research, etc. However, it can also mean 'maintenance' in some contexts, so it's important to pay attention to its usage. Here's how to use it: J'ai un entretien d'embauche demain. Elle prépare son entretien d'embauche. Il a réussi son entretien d'embauche.

encore The French word 'encore' translates to 'still' in English. It is mostly used to indicate that a particular action or state continues to happen or be, usually in conjunction with another verb. For example, 'Je t'aime encore,' translates to 'I still love you.' However, 'encore' can also mean 'again' or 'another' in different contexts. Here's how to use it: J'ai encore beaucoup à apprendre. Encore une fois, elle l'a fait. Je suis encore à l'école.

bébé The French word 'bébé' is used similarly to the English word 'baby'. It can be used to refer to a child that is yet to walk or talk or as an affectionate term to refer to a loved one, such as a significant other. Here's how to use it: Le bébé a une couverture bleue. Je suis allé rendre visite au bébé. Le bébé est en train de ramper.

soeur The word 'soeur' corresponds to the English word 'sister'. In French, it is used in the context of family connections. Just like in English, it refers to a female sibling. It is also used in religious context to refer to a nun. Here's how to use it: Ma soeur et moi allons à l'école. Je vais chez ma soeur ce soir. La soeur de mon ami travaille en Espagne.

|
autre The French word for 'other' is 'autre'. It is used to refer to an alternate or remaining person or thing in French. 'Autre' can also often used in contexts to imply 'different'. For example, 'l'autre jour' means 'the other day', and 'une autre personne' means 'another person'. The use of 'autre' also changes according to the gender and number; 'autre' for singular and 'autres' for plural. Here's how to use it: Il est dans une autre ville. Elle veut une autre pomme. Je prendrai l'autre route.
