Another question for all you French teachers.

Discovering French Bleu teaches "Ca va comme ci comme ca" as a response to ca va. However, I have never actually heard a native speaker use it that way. I have heard "comme ci, comme ca". Just wondering how you teach "comme ci, comme ca"? Merci once again:-)

Jaron HM "Bof" and "Pas terrible"

Even "bof bof"

Kim Uyyek I haven't heard the entire phrase "Ca va comme ci comme ça" used unless there is a pause between ça va & comme ci, comme ça - and there's usually that little French pout and should shrug after ça va :)

I teach my students to say comme ci, comme ça with the hand gesture (flat hand, moving left to right at various speeds).

Jaron HM I eliminated "comme ci, comme ça" from my list of expressions because they should have language that people their age would use and I doubt a middle/high school age kid would use it on a regular basis
