  • 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

  • @akrim93

    The liaison should be made but sometimes not all liaisons are made for not good reasons.

    Some must be made and others should be made but tend not to be...

    "That's French for ya!"

  • @akrim93

    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)

  • @akrim93 no se pronuncia la s, o sôlo si hay un liaçon.

  • Vous est execellent

    

  • Wow your lessons really help! merci! :3

  • I liked them shots

    

  • thank you

  • These videos are great :) thanks for making them! It's exactly what I need for a book I'm writing :)

  • It seems like I'm learning more than anything I learned from french in HS. Kind of sad when you think about it lol

  • 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! =)

  • @milton0890

    Sorry about the gunshots. Scared a lot of people....

  • @jremy7 I love the lessons but the gunshots were over the top ...lol :)

  • @113kimber

    I discontinued their use :-)

  • Can you help us with some names of good French movies & songs to watch or listen to?

  • @F00DL0vErBlog

    That info can be found on my channel page and on my blog.

  • @jremy7

    Thanks :)

  • Thank you very much! I have started learning this language with your video lessons! :)

    Merci!

  • genial ta leçon ;)

  • thanks a million!!! now I can say: J'suis egyptienne:))

  • Brilliant!

  • 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.

  • très interessant, merci . Je suis espanyol et je aprend tout ensemble français and english

  • vouz etes un tres bonne proffeseur

  • Tu es une legend, I feel like i've learned more from these 4 videos then my copy of rosetta stone

  • 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!

  • bonne nuit Remy

  • ça va bien Rémy :p u r doin a gr8 job ! specailly fr d immigrants frm other countries in france. 

  • your speech at the end was really inspiring :)

    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

    tanks so much<3

  • Boy, that gun shot really got my attention.

  • when u used ur "american accent?u sounded like an actual american jajaja

  • This is very logical. Well presented as building blocks. Thank you soooo much!

  • 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!

  • random gunshot

  • tu es pas americain?

  • Comment removed

  • While your brain may be a super computer, it is still no match for Watson!

  • HAHAHA sound warning

  • I love your lessons. merci

  • Thanks Remy for the all the lessons French !!!

    Jacob ( Holland )

  • lol very nice lesson:D im loving it

  • I am a beginner in learning French and find your video lessons very helpful! Thank you, Merci, Dziękuję :)

  • thanks u sooo much... i'm learning french with you ... from italy .. Roma... ciaooo !!! :)

  • I like this language and I want to learn french because of Remi Guillard :) Merci jremy7!

  • guys pleae tell me, is there a difference between je and j' ??

  • @AntiManc9torres9 je=j' because "j'" is followed by a vowel

  • @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

  • @newunited0606 right ! thats proper french, u cant put two vowels ( voyelles) 2gether ..u hve to use ' (apostrophe) between them..

  • @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.

  • You are Doing a great Job, now i am starting to learn French in a very easy way, a hug from venezuela

  • @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.

  • Excellent sir! A great service!

  • Thank you.

  • whats the purpose of the "ne" in the je ne suis americain?

  • j'suis going to france in 10 f*in days and j'suis freaking out, you're a god send Remy! respect!

  • Your explanations about learning a new language are really good. I'm brazilian and I'm trying to learn french. Thanks!

  • 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.

  • Oops sorry, I misunderstood what you said, just drop my comment. xD

  • 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.

  • Hello Rémy! J' (gunshot sound) suis Rodrigo ! :) J'suis pas americain... J'suis brésilien and you're classes are great... keep on going!!

  • your only suppose to drop the e if a vowel comes after Je

  • @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.

  • je ne suis pas americain je suis tibetan

  • can you recommend a movie or two with the subtitles that would be good to watch and help learn i have no idea. Thanks!!

  • @duskshadowvenom iht means Bye lOl

  • You don't say quatre like that unless you're saying something like

    quatre-vingt-six ect.

    Sorry, but every little piece of French counts.

  • 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

  • you're so sweet and funny and might I add a natural teacher! :)

  • Bonjour Remy;

    Thank you for your words of encouragement, you are truly a great teacher, God Bless

  • 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.

    Aur Revoir, Rémy.

  • I was drifting off to sleep.... So peaceful... And then.... BAAM! That scared the hell out of me. :(

  • Je suis de retour.Aujourd'hui un hold-up en plein coeur de Lyon.

  • lol the sound made me screamed!

  • 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.

  • Merci:) Je suis reconnaissant!

    Your lessons are great Remy.

  • HAHA! thanks for tha warning abt the gunshot :D

  • It scared the crap out of me, but it was hilarious.

  • La langue Française est une Noble langue !

  • 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.

  • your way of teaching is great ! but please be a bit faster... Gracias !

  • please upload more! u're an excellent teacher!

  • merci

  • xD love the gunshot bit

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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 !

  • Nice vids. man Ca va merci for the videos...au revoir.

  • Je suis irlandes I think I spelt Ireland wrong but thanks you are really helpful.

  • @duskshadowvenom

    Voir = to see

    revoir = to see again

    au = à le

  • @duskshadowvenom

    Means "see ya" / Goodbye

  • you are awesome

  • @ugosangiorgi

    Thanks ;-)

  • @jremy7 thank u

  • got scared with the gun lol.. remy you are cool!! i know i said you look scary at first but you are a great teacher...

  • 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.

  • how do you ask a girl if shes single in french? :)

  • @stoia1 Hi I am french and it's :est tu célibataire? or if you prefer, are you dating someboby : est-ce que tu sort avec quelqu'un

  • @duskshadowvenom if means good bye

  • Very informative. Thank you, sir.

  • I liked your speech very much!

    thank you for the tips. and for the classes, obviously.

    au revoir!

  • 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.

  • thnx so much, now i can talk to this french exchange student at my school XD

  • i can tell

  • After I finish this playlist , what shall i do to advance my french.

  • c'est très bon, mais tu porrais parles moins et enseigne plus =)

    j'ai appris deux très interessante choses de toi, merci ^^

  • 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

  • hi remy my name is kenisha and im america.

    i want to thank you for these videos because

    french was so difficult for me to learn.

  • 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.

  • Bonjour! Je ne suis pas americain, je suis galliois. :)

  • @mhillman159

    gallois

  • Je suis pas american, je suis gallois.

  • WOW! i had no idea heh heh. Thank you very much for taking your time and teach.

  • Amélie :)

  • Would anybody be so kind and recommend me some of the french films to watch with subtitles?

  • 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:**

  • At 8:35

    These people were probably from Romania, Italy, Portugal or Spain.

    As for me I became fluent In Polish just in 2 weeks but let's no forget about my advanced level cetificate in Russian.

  • Merci, Remy. These have been
