Thanks Leyla. This video was very helpful. Can you share any advice on good resources to pick up casual french like this? I just moved to Paris and I'm kinda struggling with colloquial French. I'm trying my best to listen to podcasts and rap songs but I'm progressing very slowly.
OMG I absolutely LOVE your vids. I wish that I could speak French that well. But, alas when I hear your vid... try as I may... I don't think I'll ever sound as good as you do. Thanks so much for posting. :0)
Well "lentement" just means "slowly" but "doucement" has different meanings depending on the context in which it is used. For example, "doucement" can mean "take it easy". "Parlez plus doucement" can mean "parlez moins fort"/speak softer or "more slowly", it just depends.
At any rate, it has more meanings than "lentement"

Just the impression we have when we learn a new language
However, there are some people that do speak extremely fast

merci!!, est ce qu'on peut aussi dire "doucement" en lieu de "lentement"?
ex: vous pourriez parler plus doucement?

"parler doucement" is more "to speak low" (meaning with a low voice vs a loud voice)
