Anyone Can Speak French (49) (another little word)

[agentcn]

is it the same saying: j'en acheterai?(i would buy some, or do native speakers use this saying often?)

[thefrenchguy3000]

@agentcn Ça Marche....par exemple....j'en achèterai un peu. I will buy a little bit.

@thefrenchguy3000 :) thanks! Now I confuse about lots of small stuff like this in french, but I will figure them out peu à peu. I finished all your videos and thanks again! it's really helpful. best of luck!

hi ;) french is my native language, so let me tell you that you're a good teacher ;) your accent is very good (not perfect but really good enough to be understood). you make a few mistakes, but they're not big and they never turn the phrase into something that has no meaning. Seriously, good teaching, people can trust you :)

désolé pour mon mauvais anglais !

[thefrenchguy3000]

@Schaezen Wow! I'm so happy you like the way I speak your language. I'm an American, but I try my best. And I think your English writing is impeccable!! Bravo.

Pas mal!!IActually i have never thought about the en and the y, cause it comes to my mind naturally, did you know in some regions of france there is a common mistake about the y, some folks say "j'y fait" instead of "je le fait". ;-)

@darksnow74 I learn something new everyday.  Thanks!

ahahah your lessons are very entertaining, "je n'ai pas d 'oeufs, OULALA!! " lol :D

you should definitely be a teacher!!

your accent is sooo funny ^^

[thefrenchguy3000]

@Domcountertenor You could certainly say "Je vais acheter des oeufs." Or better yet, shorten it to "Je vais en acheter" since we already know eggs is what we're talking about. But I don't think you can correctly say "Je vais acheter d'oeufs. However, you could definitely say "Je vais acheter une douzaine d'oeufs." Are you confused yet?..........oh the joy of language!

You are tremendous. My family has recently been contacted by a cousin in France. My daughter, sisters, & I will be visiting next summer. His family only speaks french & euskara. Your podcast is helping me learn a lot.

[thefrenchguy3000]

@revsalles Cool!  I'm so happy to be of help. Best of luck!

[LaraCroft35]

Congratulation, you speak french very well !

Just a mistake: Je n'ai pas des oeufs" => "Je n'ai pas d'oeuf"

Otherwise, It's very good =)

Kisses from France =)

@LaraCroft35 Thanks!

Hey, I like your lessons.

You said "Je n'ai pas des oeufs" but the correct way of saying it would be "Je n'ai pas d'oeufs".

Another good lesson though!

Bonne continuation!

[thefrenchguy3000]

@RyanHDProductions Good catch!

Question, though. I just started watching your vids again (this is the first one I've seen in a long time; I just now started trying to learn French again). The thing I've been learning from tells me that to put something in the future tense I can just conjugate aller and use the infinitive form of the verb I'm using. So, besides how you say "I'm going to go buy some (eggs)"--"J'irai en acheter"-- would I also be able to say, "Mais, je vais en acheter"? Also, what does the "irai" mean?

[thefrenchguy3000]

@robshred66

There's a nuance. In English, it's the difference between "I will go buy some" and "I'm going to buy some". The first expresses a future idea, while the second evokes a sense of immediacy. Either works. One may be more appropriate than the other depending on the circumstance. You'll have to judge for yourself. To answer your second question, "J'irai" means "I will go".

@thefrenchguy3000

All right, thanks so much!

[robshred66]

Great, thanks!
