[riverlove11]

Very well done.

[dgdhqgdyukqud]

I've always wanted to learn this language as it is a canadian language as well.

[Grimmwood]

Question: To address, for example, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Which "they" should we use? "Ils" or "elles"?

[lycancrm]

@Grimmwood "ils" The male is stronger than the feminine in french

[Grimmwood]

@lycancrm Thanks :)

[perogol99]

[tarentinoOB]

the linguage is difficult because you have so grammar and another think but it's te same for all of the linguage you have to try everytimes to speak french for a american the most difficult is the "r" but i can say you that le francais est une belle langue car historique et poetique et il faut l'aprrendre=aucun regret de la part d'un francais

[ufconfuzio]

salut, je suis par la Roumanie, j avais aprende francais 7 annes dans l ecole et je ne suis pas capable a utiliser corectement la gramatique, je ne connue pas bien le vocabulaire et ma grande honte je n entendre rien quand quelqun parle rapidement cette merveilleuse langue. probable je suis un peu stupide mais j'aime la France tres beaucoup, je veulle parler bien et ne sais pas qu est ce je doit faire.......je suis frustre..... quelqun con meme probleme???......

[bicnarok]

@ 2:57 you forgot the "ent" on the end of the words, or are they silent?

[lycancrm]

@bicnarok silent ;-) 

[GarreauQuentin72]

C'est trop facile à parler français ! (i'm french) :)

[Wass21]

@GarreauQuentin72 C'est trop facile "de" parler français ! (i'm french too ;)) lol pour te faire chier

[BrainiacN5]

I still don't understand why people always say that french is "romantique". It's my first language and I don't see anything romantic about it lol

[soniclover120]

Il est facile de parler français, c'est si vous avez une sœur qu'il parle et si vous avez pris les cours de français à l'école. lol. J'aime la langue française, si romantique. :)

[theEdTechInsider]

I think that it is great that instead of going directly into the language, you teach using translations, which are very helpful. Our company Brainscape uses the same philosophy only with flash cards. Check out the video response I have posted!

salute..dt wz vry intersting..

[learnfrenchvideos]

[LuckysLove101]

[extrem547]

@LuckysLove101 J'aime cette vidéo* :)

[pseudorealista]

Wrong! Languages are neutral in gender. It's more of what we like to hear and sounds more pleasureable to our senses.

i have to take french next year:(

[SurvivingOklahoma]

Well then... When you speak French, how can you tell the difference between singular and plural if you do not pronounce "s"?

[NaCle62]

@SurvivingOklahoma

I'm french, we don't pronounce the final "s" but there is always a word before to introduce the plural. Like "Ces" (these), "les" (the), "eux" (them) for example. We having almost the same situation in english. How do you know the gender in the sentence "It's my cousin"? ;)

[BrainiacN5]

@SurvivingOklahoma it's the word that you put in front of it that tells you if it's singular or plural. For example, in english you'd say: I read a book (singular) / I like books (plural). In french we say: Je lis UN livre (singular) / J'aime LES livres (plural). We call those words "articles". "Un" is a masculine-singular article, and "Les" is a no-gender plural article. Do determine singular, plural and genders we always use those words. There is: Le, La, Les, Un, Une, Des, and L'

[BrainiacN5]

@BrainiacN5 Correction: To* determine

[CornerOfMystery]

[anshu4116]

[anshu4116]

yeepy,same! as jumanji!!!

[TOWHOTHEM]

ES ESTA LA CORECTA PRONUNSIACION? ALGUIEN PUSO UN COMENTARIO DICIENDO QUE NO LO ES...

IS THIS THE RIGHT PRONUTIATION? SOMEONE WROTE SAYING IT IS NOT,.

[kngV]

@TOWHOTHEM

Es la correcta pronunciacion- desafortunadamente el ortografia del frances no tiene tanto que ver con la pronunciacion porque como el ingles no se pronuncia todo lo que se escribe y hay muchicimas vocales con pocas representaciones de ellas...

[mllepersonne96]

@kngV

Je suis extrêmement nul en espagnol et j'ai compris tout ton message !! tu es espagnol ??

(je sais ça n'a rien a voir avec la vidéo XD)

[kngV]

@mllepersonne96

Ascendencia español/mexicano sí tengo pero soy americano- lo interesante es que también yo casi comprendo todo el mensaje tuyo (pero al final tuve que usar traductor xD)

[ggabuna]

many english words are from french, damage/dommage/grand parents/grandsparents/nephew/n­eveu/cousin/cousin/village/vil­lage/rude/rude/joy/joie/face/f­ace/farm/ferm/bottle/boutteill­e/dangerous/dangereux/gibbet/g­ibet/damned/damne/beef/boeuf/v­ermin/vermine/detest/detest/fo­ol/fou/mortuary/mortuaire/magi­strate/magistrat/court/cour/ma­nner/maniere/soil/sol/view/vie­ux/valley/vallee/romance/roman­ce/desire/desir/question/quest­ion/serve/servir/royal/royale/­beauty/beaute/touch/toucher/ba­ton/baton/enter/entrer

[ggabuna]

@joy2559 the words come from latin, not from french :-)

[shion255]

@ggabuna FRench, english's origins are partly french. Look at the history of english.

[TheVictorCobra]

Класс! Люблю французский! Как говорится: "Увидеть Париж - и охуеть!

[thedinko69]

Le français, l'italien, l'espagnol et le roumain viennent du latin (pour le portugais je ne sais pas).

L'allemand et l'anglais sont deux langues germaniques :)

[FrenchSiirella]

very good to learn !! Did you get it? :)

[Cryingwolf81r]

@FrenchSiirella yes :) finally :)

[gta4mythbuster]

Français roches si dur!

[akwatik92]

Tu apprends bien le français. Au fait, j'aimerai juste savoir ce qui est le plus difficile à apprendre en français pour vous, les anglais. Pour moi le plus difficile quand j'apprends l'anglais c'est la difference de sens entre certains mots comme " will " et " going to " , ou " may " et " might ".

[SammyTheHedhehog]

@akwatik92 really? Je suis un allemand et je trouve, c'est simple.

[akwatik92]

Les Allemands parlent mieux l'anglais que les Francais en général. Bon c'est vrai que ce n'est pas très difficile mais je mélange toujours les règles et donc j'applique la mauvaise -_-

[charlotte4112]

@akwatik92 C'est sûr, ce sont deux langues germaniques donc la grammaire, la structure de phrase et certaines prononciations sont les mêmes.

[cn9590]

@charlotte4112 l'anglais c'est une langue germanique, mais le français ça vient du latin. Même le roumain vient du latin.

[charlotte4112]

@cn9590 Non, je parlais de l'anglais et de l'allemand; deux langues germaniques.

[heavenxisxfree]

@SammyTheHedhehog que c'est simple *

[akukck]

google it.. and u learn u can say.. the woman that u call a moron is ur wife!!!

[idol44bgt]

So hard to pronounce. How many articles has French language?

[t0niperkele]

@idol44bgt French pronouncing system is almost same than in English. Both ones are irregulars.

[cess2018]

your reaLLy good teaching french Language .. i learn so fast .. merci ! :)

[exabes]

They eat du poisson lol

[human20freedom]

FRENCH PEOPLE ARE THE MOST STUPID I EVER MET! i gayish language ..not to mention the fact they dont speak english !! even in Paris all the signs on the road-metro etc are in FUCKING FRENCH ! No english!!! they really suck !! they think that their language is the best in the world !! its the wrost i d say ! the most important is ENGLISH!! and i am half french ( from my mother side).i was in france for 2 years, wrost time in my life. they are racists, sovinists, ethnists.fucking idiots

[lennard]

isnt there a mistake with mangeons, it should be mangons? or am i wrong?

[Jeannie2Genie]

no mangeons is correct. we need the added e after the g for the right pronounciation.

[goldenchocolate]

manger is actually a bad verb to use for a first lesson, since it's an irregular verb. A regualr verb of the 1st group would indeed be the structure u gave, but for manger its "mangeons" because or else the g would be pronounced like in the word "guy", and the verb manger has a soft g

chanter and/or danser (chanter = to sing, danser = to danse) would be the verbs I would use for a first lesson

[RealCheeseOnly]

"mongons" would make the g a hard g (like in google), but it's mangeons to make it a soft g (no equivalent in english... but like manzjons)

[Korpikotka]

French's "soft 'g'" sound does occur in English, namely as "si" in words such as "vision" and "s" in "pleasure".

[RealCheeseOnly]

It's slightly different, but it's very close to that yeah.

[1livingdeadgrl]

thank you for posting, i will starting to learn this language in about 2 weeks... my fourth language.

[Isaachelric]

very nice introduction for anyone in need of learning the basics :)

[Natasha3355]
