[elbeaver883]

definitely only for France... "Où y a-t-il un café?" litteraly means: "Where is the coffe? (cup)"... not coffe shop! In Québec, peopole may look at you strangely with thoses phrases as this is not the universal way to say these... Her english is pretty bad also

[postrealitysyndrome]

@elbeaver883

In English we use "cafe" for a coffee shop, so I'm sure Quebecois would figure it out. I think only intolerant people would have issues with such imperfections, as most people appreciate and understand these kind of irregularities and are generally charmed that they would attempt to speak their native language, instead of just asking if they speak English. Your English spelling isn't all that great btw.

[Quentin77170]

@elbeaver883 Lol you're so wrong... Everyone understands that "où y a-t-il un café?" means "Where is there a café (coffee shop)... It's the best way to say that... if you find another, perhaps the couple of million people in Québec would understand you... but not the many million others around the world !

And literally, "Où y a-t-il un café" means both "Where IS THERE A coffee" and "Where IS THERE A café" ! Not "where is the XXX" ... Shame on you, I hope you're not a native French speaker !

[PrinsTan]

this should be posted under "learn french accent when speaking english".......

[nariko914]

It's not so much that the French speak quickly, it's more that they slur the ends of their words together which makes listening comprehension a little harder for us English speakers. All the same, great vids, they've helped a lot!

[Mr0037]

@nariko914 People say the same of English. Do you pause before speaking the next word? When you don't understand a language it sounds like all the words are being mixed together, because you cannot distinguish when a word ends and a new word begins.

[nariko914]

@Mr0037 Hm, good point.

[Armand2Maupertuis]

@Mr0037

c'est même bien pire en anglais, langue non phonétique à accent tonique chaotique et syllabe muette au hasard (le fameux "schwa" de l'alphabet phonétique qui fait que les non anglophones croient que les anglophones "bouffent" les mots). Ça n'existe pas en français ces difficultés...

[arvindpradhan]

[RicaBert1995]

purriez-vous M'APPORTER l'addition

[1995lay]

I can speak a little french, but I hate 1 thing: The french talk to fast! Really like every sentence must be finished in record time :P.

[josephryangutierrez]

well actually the French aren't that fast I mean Spanish is faster but with the French they have a lot of "uh" sort of like they have to think of what they are going to say.

[samira76620]

Hey you say that because You speak english ^^ But its the same for us , i think you speak very fast too =D if we speak slowly is so ridiculous no? ^^

Bye

[anyafes2595]

hey, what's the difference between

"j'ai affame" and "j'ai faim"?

[Quetr04]

J'ai faim is I'm hungry and je suis affamé is I'm starving

[balearn]

j"ai affame" is wrong. You can say "Je suis affamé". "Affamé" is stronger than "(avoir faim)". It's a bit like to be starving.

[moumoutedu01]

Oula grave erreur !! (There's a big mistake !).

ou ( without accent) means " or"

où (with an accent) means "where"

So, the correct sentence is : " Où y-a t-il un café ?"

[arvindpradhan]

@moumoutedu01

She meant "or is there a café?" This might be in response to somebody saying "Il n'y a pas de restaurant proche"

[slmUSA]

@arvindpradhan She said in English, "Where is a ....."

[postrealitysyndrome]

@moumoutedu01

[djdude]

je pense que elle est trop vite pour débutants ! et j'ai 13 ans ( sorry for bad french )

[benzin1614]

i couldn't pronounce any of this. :(

[soundara]

c'est tout aussi bien pr ceux qui veulent apprendre l'anglais!

[cefnonn]

Meme apres plusieurs années d'apprentissage d'une langue étrangere - le francais - je trouve qu'il y a des facons de dire des choses que j'ignorais, dont des choses 'de base' comme: "Ou y -a-t-il un café?" que j'aurais formulé différément.

Donc, c'est utile est bien ce clip youtube (est-ce qu'on dit "clip" en francais?!)

Clive, Watford, UK

[moumoutedu01]

Oui, on dit "clip" en Français.

[julianallees]

I must say, this was really helpful, but the hostess got rather annoying when she would continuously repeat the word, especially when she said 'J'ai faim'. Although, I do know that it is because it is for beginners and it is helpful for pronounciation and Aural Practice, but I just find it rather excessive, that is all, but hey, that is just my own opinion, no one else's! = )

Yours,
