Bah on est d'accord du coup. :P

Pardon, je me suis laissé emporter par ma curiosité et du coup je me suis un peu embrouillé dans mes explications.

Tout ce que je voulais dire c'est qu'on peut pas combiner "s'y connaître" et "pas grand chose" (même s'il paraît que certains internautes ont la mauvaise habitude de le faire...). Et que donc logiquement si on veut utiliser "pas grand chose", il faut forcément choisir "connaître (à)" et pas "s'y connaître (en)"... Ce qui expliquerait peut-être le choix des mots dans le texte que Peter nous a fait partager... Mais on s'en fout en fait. XD

Désolé, je vous fais perdre votre temps à lire mes divagations alors je me tais.

I've not done anything. I tried to do some spontaneous chats, but they didn't work. I've been otherwise distracted the past few days. I'm gonna give it a go with some writing practice soon though. Will keep you posted.

Merci Arnaud et Sizen pour vos réponses. Elles m'ont aidé à récapituler les usages de connaître en ce qui concerne les usages qu'on a discutés :

Ne rien y connaître.
=To not know anything about.
eg. Je n'y connais rien en biologie.
= I don't know a thing about biology

N'y connaître pas grand chose.
=To not know much/a great deal.
eg. Je n'y connais pas grand chose.
=I don't know much/a great deal.

s'y connaître en qqch
=to know a lot about sth
eg. Je m'y connais en biologie.
=I know a lot about biology.

ON NE DIT PAS :
Je ne m'y connais pas grand chose.

Anything else about your learning journey: I have a decently high level of Spanish to help with my French; I'll also be learning with one of my sisters, which will almost certainly have some interesting interpersonal dynamics. ;)

I don't have any favorite French media yet, because I haven't started studying French yet. :)

Hi arthaey,

Good luck with your French! and welcome :) This thread/team hasn't seen much activity of late. It was an attempt at continuing where we left off on the HTLAL site, but we lost some decent French co-leaders of the team in the process too. So now as tomgosse has started a new thread called "French Group 2016 - Les Voyageurs" it seems the momentum is over there of late. So, I'd recommend all French learners from this thread/team make there way over there. Heres a link

Oops, sorry for posting to the "wrong" French team! I'll head over to the other thread. :)
