Intersting!! How long it took you to learn English through videos?? I am taking French in college as it it required in my major, but its only eementary and I have not even started yet. However after watching these videos here I am interested in it now. Since I already speak 3 other anguages and am familiar with 4 more, my mind is used to switch from one language to another but this one seems kind of harder. Any suggestions about learning it on a faster pace? Merci :)
sometimes when you say "je ne suis pas americain(e)" it sounds like you do pronounce the S in the end of "pas" and i have thought it should be a silent S but now im not sure anymore, so aaamh, just to ensure im asking: should it be silent or not? ^__^
thaaanks a lot, youre such a funny guy, never had as enjoyable language lessons as now 8DD
The "s" in pas is prounounced because the next word start with a vowel, "americain(e)". So you link the "pas" and "americaine" by pronoucing a "s" with a z sound (Je ne sui pas(z)americain(e)
je suis angelo, je suis filipino...=) do you have a book?if you do i would definitely buy it! great job im just on lesson four of your video and right now im really very impressed on how easy you do it thanks so much hope to see more videos. merci! =)
That is a really good idea watching movies with subtitles to learn a language but some people do not phrase things the way they are spoken so it could confuse people somewhat. Learning a new language sounds like a really long process. I want to learn Spanish and French because I am from the US and there are a lot of people in the US that speak those languages and if I move to Canada one day I think it would be a good idea to know French before I go there.
This is the great video, where I was sick and tired of every lesson that begins with alphabet.
By the way, as for formal "vous" and familiar "tu", which one do you use for a person who you want to insult or get mad at? That would be neither respect nor familiarity but just hatred. I am Japanese and my language has special pronoun for it.
@MickCorgi If you want to insult, or get really mad at someone, even someone you don't know at all, use "tu". When there is no notion of respect, never use "vous" for an insult. For example you can use "vous" in a car crash or whatever to say "what's wrong with you ?!" -> "qu'est-ce qui ne va pas chez vous ?!". In this case you don't wanna be rude with the guy but just reprimand him.
@Linkindark90@MickCorgi In Canada, it's a little different. 'tu' is used with almost everyone when referring to a single person. obviously 'vous' is used with plural people as in France but Canadians don't really use it with a single people except for in very formal situations.
Thank you for sharing us your videos! They are very helpful! I am about to go to Paris in September to study in Le Conservatoire de Paris! Pease upload more videos and I can say, you're a very good teacher, you make ur viewers learn French fast! MERCI BEAUCOUP MONSIEUR!
im just starting to learn french and your videos have just really helped me. i feel more confident knowing your viedos r there when ever i need them and i can have you along my journy as i go <3
You're a great teacher. I wish I could download an audio version of your lessons and add them on my Ipod and listen to them all the time till I can speak perfect French :)
I love that you're teaching us the text book French and the slang one too!
@AntiManc9torres9 It's like the difference between I am and I'm. There is no difference in meaning between je and j' . Correct me if I'm wrong native speakers, but in proper written french, you usually don't use j' before a consonant (except for the letter 'h'), j' is always used before a vowel. j'ai, j'habite, j'ose
@AntiManc9torres9 Je means I. J' means I. The only difference is J' is not proper, it is "street french". J'suis americain is correct, but if you want, you can say je suis americain, it doesn't matter.
@mrstuffey the ''ne'' shows the negation. To be grammaticaly correct, you need to put a ''pas'' whit the ''ne''. So, it makes ''ne...pas''. If I take your sentence, the good sentence is: Je ne suis pas américain. There are also many others ways to say a negation. You could use other words as ''ne...aucun'' (Je n'ai aucun chien), etc. It is like you're ''not'' in english.
In the familiar Québec's french, you can also hear only the ''pas'' as ''Je suis pas américain'' but you cant write it.
merci remy, je suis americain! taking baby steps. I took italian in high school 40 years ago and only remember my name is.......I decided to try to learn french , got some books and enjoying youtube lessons. You are a great teacher. I remember hearing my father speak french years ago. He was born in montreal.
Actually, listening a movie in french with ENGLISH subtitle is a better way to learn french... Of course, it's maybe juste me, but it's how I learnt english.
@Jibberish519 A lot of french people drop the 'e' in 'Je' when it's follow by a verb. It's not grammatically correct I most say, but we say it, mostly with negative sentences, but not only. You actually can say 'J'suis.' or 'J'suis pas'. Of course, it's not all french people who say it that way. In France it's less common, but in Quebec, all people or almost say it that way. And this applies with mostly all verb... 'J'mange'. 'J'mange pas' ... 'J'bois'. 'J'bois pas' ...etc.
do u know where or how I would be able to get more advanced french lessons? Your lessons are very very basic.. I remember on my first day of french class, we learned how to say Je'mapelle _____, and nice to meet you and all that. I already know about the passé composé, and the future tense and stuff. I would absolutely love to be fluent in the language, it is a beautiful language. I've heard the only way to do that is move to France... Well, that requires money, haha, so please, any suggestions?
@EthMan09 Very true, moving to France could be a little costly. One suggestion is learning the language online with a French teacher (1to1) using skype, msn etc and webcams as the virtual classroom. You are then able to do this from home and even learn from a teacher who is actually living in France. We have several French teachers on our site - learnbycam - certainly cheaper than moving to another country - hope that helps
Bonjour... je ne pas americaine, je suis argentine.
ps: when you talk about listening to movies and stuff like that in the target language, i totally agree with you and that happened to me with English. Spanish is my mother tongue and as I love languages so much I just went to english lessons and watched movies without subtitles, and I can tell, my cassmates were surprised of how well I understand English.
I cannot tell you how much the encouragement at the end of this lesson meant to me. I was feeling like I would never get this to stay in my brain and then I heard this lesson and your encouragement and it gave me the strength to say I can do this. So thank you for the wonderful lessons, they are by far the best I have seen so far.
Thank you Remi, I'm also learning franch as well english with you, I'm from Brazil and I realy enjoy your videos. Great english, very clear, and a very didatic french.
Je suis tombé sur ta lesson de Français par hazard, et je voulais juste te féliciter. Je ne suis pas français, mais brésilien, et ta description de comment on apprend une langue est excellente. Je suis arrivé à Paris en 2002, et je connaissais 3 mots de français. Afin de pouvoir aller à la Sorbonne, j'ai du apprendre le français en 5 mois. Et c'est réussi. Beaucoup de boulot, c'est sur, mais c'est possible. Bravo! Je suis sur que vos lessons vont aider beaucoup de gens.
mannnn thank you sooo much for the tips youre giving and the useful lessons youre teaching us, im colombian and it was so dificult for me to learn english,but i did it :) and now i want to learn french, and thanks to you im making huge progress.
merci jremy to share your time with us! for me is verry important watching videos like this from people like You, because we really learn. I´m mexican and I´m in Mexico, so I´m doing both things; practicing my English learning French, AWESOME!!! THX.
juste tu es j`ai probleme avec est >es sounds like essssssss instead of say Aaaaa I don't here enough from french speaker they will say tu or sur it I ahve to comeone here to listen how it speaks
These videos are great. I have taken French I in college and this is a fantastic review. You make it very easy because it's slow and it's basically teaching 1+1=2.
you're very good man, thank you, I'm from Mexico and I learned to speak it just like the way you said, movies without subtitles, and that's a very good tip. Well, thanks to you I am able to speak with a french friend (well jus a little bit hahaha) but still I'm very thankfull with you, merci Remy, Muchas Gracias Remy. (I hope you can read this)
I was explaining the origin of the french negation form in two parts (ne + verb + pas) but it seems my comment has been truncated.
In the ancient time in French "ne" was enough like "not" in English. But people used to add a noun in the context to insist (and maybe a question of rythm)
So they often said for "I do NOT go ": Je NE vais PAS ("pas" means "step"). I do not go (even one step).
With the time this use of "pas" became very ordinary even out of a specific context of "going".
On the same model, a rare alternative form of negation in French. "goutte" (a drop) used in place of "pas": Je n'y vois goutte / I can NOT see (even a drop)
Or more: "je NE sais point" / I do NOT know (even a point)
I just wanted to say these particular expressions with "goutte" and "point" instead of "pas" even if it will be understood are quite deprecated and even sound a little bit ridiculous. Don't try to use it. :) It was just to clarify that point about "ne + verb + pas" (I tried) as many comments here asked for explanations.
That way people came to say more and more some things like "je ne vais pas..." instead of just "je ne vais..." which sounded a little bit bandy-legged
Here, you must know something: the adverb "pas" is also a noun in French whose English translation is "a step".
So quite logically: "je NE vais pas" can be understood as: "I am NOT going (a step forward more)"
For those who wondering about this so strange and very specific negative form in French divided in two parts "ne + verb + pas", here is the explanation:
In the origin of modern French,"ne" ("non" in Latin) was rather enough to exprime the negation. Even if more and more people needed to add something like a noun after the verb to insist on the negation or even maybe for a simple question of good rythm in the sentense.
is it really true that none french speakers that knew no french(zero) learned how to speak it in a month? wow I wanna be like that....but there is no one here in my location that speaks french...so...it will take me a longer time to learn.haha
Je ne suis pas americaine, mais je suis thailandaise. I think you can understand, but I am not sure if it's correct. Thank you for providing online leçon.
I have just watched some scenes from "Un coeur en hiver". It was really interesting. But as for me, the most hard thing in French is to read. You never know what letter you have to read and what one is silent.
hmmm look hard to lear huh !? i,m glad its my born language cuz english is so easy to learn compare to anyother language
Le francais permet tout une gamme de nuance dans les sentiments... surtout le québécois avec les sacre :-) ... rien de mieux qu'un bon alignement de caliss de tabarnak d'ostie etc... pour dire a peu près tout LOL
What you've said about accent and understanding the native speakers is so true! i am from India where there are about 100 odd(or probably even more) different languages spoken by people, even if you learn them, its difficult to follow!
You have actually kept the interest alive and your lessons are good! One request is do give the formal variations to your informal sentences as well.
Like Kirstengiraffe said: Amelie is an wonderful film in every way, beautiful (colors, words, scenes), and in French. Also, more of a drama is A Heart in Winter (Un Cœur en Hiver). But the things they say are like poetry, the acting as well. You will find some of the scenes here on you-tube.
I am just about going to France to work..I've just started to learn French.. Thank you for motivation and lessons:):) I will need that muscle!;p bisous:**

These videos are great. I have taken French I in college and this is a fantastic review. You make it very easy because it's slow and it's basically teaching 1+1=2.
Your speed is perfect. Thanks.

I was explaining the origin of the french negation form in two parts (ne + verb + pas) but it seems my comment has been truncated.
In the ancient time in French "ne" was enough like "not" in English. But people used to add a noun in the context to insist (and maybe a question of rythm)
So they often said for "I do NOT go ": Je NE vais PAS ("pas" means "step"). I do not go (even one step).
With the time this use of "pas" became very ordinary even out of a specific context of "going".

On the same model, a rare alternative form of negation in French. "goutte" (a drop) used in place of "pas": Je n'y vois goutte / I can NOT see (even a drop)
Or more: "je NE sais point" / I do NOT know (even a point)
etc etc
zslash99 1 year ago
I just wanted to say these particular expressions with "goutte" and "point" instead of "pas" even if it will be understood are quite deprecated and even sound a little bit ridiculous. Don't try to use it. :) It was just to clarify that point about "ne + verb + pas" (I tried) as many comments here asked for explanations.
And thanks to Rémy, nice job.
And please excuse my poor English.
zslash99 1 year ago
That way people came to say more and more some things like "je ne vais pas..." instead of just "je ne vais..." which sounded a little bit bandy-legged
Here, you must know something: the adverb "pas" is also a noun in French whose English translation is "a step".
So quite logically: "je NE vais pas" can be understood as: "I am NOT going (a step forward more)"

Plz excuse my mediocre English !
For those who wondering about this so strange and very specific negative form in French divided in two parts "ne + verb + pas", here is the explanation:
In the origin of modern French,"ne" ("non" in Latin) was rather enough to exprime the negation. Even if more and more people needed to add something like a noun after the verb to insist on the negation or even maybe for a simple question of good rythm in the sentense.
Something was missing here !

I have just watched some scenes from "Un coeur en hiver". It was really interesting. But as for me, the most hard thing in French is to read. You never know what letter you have to read and what one is silent.

What you've said about accent and understanding the native speakers is so true! i am from India where there are about 100 odd(or probably even more) different languages spoken by people, even if you learn them, its difficult to follow!
You have actually kept the interest alive and your lessons are good! One request is do give the formal variations to your informal sentences as well.

fkszczepanik 1 year ago
Like Kirstengiraffe said: Amelie is an wonderful film in every way, beautiful (colors, words, scenes), and in French. Also, more of a drama is A Heart in Winter (Un Cœur en Hiver). But the things they say are like poetry, the acting as well. You will find some of the scenes here on you-tube.
