Être intéressé de
This question relates to:French writing exercise "Interview with a jewellery creator"
Asked 4 years ago
Hi Jon,
No, you cannot use 's'intéresser à' here, as the English says -
I'm sure my wife would be interested to discover your creations = Je suis sûr que ma femme serait intéressée de découvrir vos créations
or
....ça intéresserait ma femme de découvrir vos créations.
It is a bit like saying :
I am sure my wife would be willing to discover your creations.
But if you said -
My femme s'intéresse beaucoup à vos créations
it means a totally different thing, that she is passionate, enthusiastic about your creations
Hope this helps!
