[ottawadrummer]

French is such a hard language! I'm from Ottawa, Canada and I've been trying to learn French all my life and it's amazingly difficult to get the expressions and tenses and how to word the masculine/feminine... English is easy to pick up, hard to master, French is hard (or difficult) to pickup and *extremely difficult to master.

[ncdangale112]

Je suis Argentino?

@ncdangale112

Argentin

To the French, does "Americain" mean specifically from the United States of America or does it mean anyone from any part of the New World (North, Central or South America)?

[jremy7]

@Tapajara

It is specific to a citizen of the United States

[Tapajara]

[TheArtc33]

really good videos, except you go too much in depth explaining some things too much and waiste a lot of time you could use for extending the lessons.

[akhiltp1990]

[21046053]

resourceful and funny.

[Tynine09]

haha, you cutely funny, like it.

[xBl00dBrothersX]

Hi. I speak English and Spanish fluently. I am 19 and I am a college junior studying clinical psychology. I want to learn French, so how long do you think it would take me to learn French?

[xxnobodygirlxx]

O.o i thought you was 'vous' in francais...

sorry, im a beginner

[Flyaz32]

@Erebe6 Je suis Française aussi et je ne veux pas mettre ta parole en doute, mais t'es sûr que t'es Français?! Son accent est tout simplement P.A.R.F.A.I.T!!! Et tu ne comprends rien?! C'est bourré de fautes? Je ne crois pas non plus... :O

I love english... -3

[nokturnalmortom666]

Bonjour!

Tu es Français ou Canadien?

Could you also say "comment allez-vous?" or does that mean something else?

I'm taking French 1 in school. So I know a few words/phrases.

Je ne parle pas français beaucoup, mais je parle espagnol et anglais très bien.

[legueu]

@nokturnalmortom666 Comment allez-vous ? is a more polite/formal way of saying it or is use for asking to more than one person.

[ItaliaxXItaliano]

Salut mais tu es traducteur parce que dans tes vidéos j'ai vus que tu parlais aussi italien et moi je parle l'italien trés bien parce que c'est ma 2eme langue natal (mon pére est italien) comment ca se fait que tu maitrise ces deux langues?

[sarimsok]

I'm currently living in Montreal, and honestly, the french in Quebec is much more forgiving. You are doing a good job, forget all the hate-mail/grammar police.

[kfjsjkf1]

Thanks remy, your leçons are the best by far here on youtube. greetings from argentina, espero que sigas haciendo videos!

[pistachemusic]

Salut !

Je suis français et je tiens à te dire que ton accent est PAR-FAIT. Tu es français à la base non ? Parce que c'est vraiment troublant ...

[jremy7]

@pistachemusic

Oui Mathieu je suis bien français d'origine :-)

[7thecheryl]

@jremy7 Can't quite do the language yet so well without plugging my nose, at end of ameriCAN. oh well, room for improvement. sounds perfect, though, If i do, say so...myself.

[teifuck]

@jremy7 but you're pretty good at english too.. so what's the deal? :)

[amelie6221]

@pistachemusic : d'accord avec toi , moi qui recherché des vidéos de personnes anglais ou autres parlant le français avec leur accent , je suis déçue que ce cher monsieur pourrait se faire passé pour français et francophone sans problème.

[Jibberish519]

i was taught comment ca va in school as how are you, its basically the same thing, are you quebec or france french?

[tomyferland1234]

Sheao sais une prononciation :)

[sheaofleaves124]

Bonjour!

Je m'appelle Xavier, je suis desole de vous attaquer, mais quelques-unes des choses que vous avez tort d'enseignement. J'ai regardé cette vidéo, et tout est correct. Felicitations! Je prefere parler francais, et beaucoup d'autres personnes aiment parler le français aussi. Malheureusement, j'ai vu que certaines personnes ne sont pas correctement l'apprentissage à partir de vos vidéos. Certains de vos prononciations est mauvaise aussi. Avez-vous déjà pris un cours de français?! A bientot!

[Erebe6]

@sheaofleaves124 Salut, je suis Français, et je tiens à te dire personnellement que ton langage est juste bourré de fautes et je ne comprend pas du tout où tu veux en venir, ça n'a aucun sens. ^^

Salut.

Remy: je crois que ce bonhomme essaye de faire genre il maîtrise le Français et qu'il veut te donner des leçons XD.

Bonne continuation à toi.

[jremy7]

@Erebe6

Merci ;-)

[sheepthing]

@Erebe6

bourré de fautes? pas du tout. il parle presque sans accent en fait !

[Ultimate600]

Should the last 'S' sound in 'Suis' also be pronounced if it's a name starting with a vowel ? No specific rule for this, like in American's "an Hour" ?

[jremy7]

@Ultimate600

You are correct :-)

Tu as raison.

[MoonLite20951]

maybe its me that bit on a edge today but i think you need to get to the point quickly. cuz u spent like 3 mins on something that you can just say in less than 2 mins. your voice is dull and quiet so with the combination of the phone part is a bit odd and its just end up wasting time. speak a little louder and tiny bit faster would be good

[Wick3dForc3s]

I heard that in paris if you speak spanish most people will understand you is that true remy?

[victor9june]

hello remy thabks a million for you lessons i am vikas from india goin to canada very soon and i need help to learn basic french ,,,,,i am goi to start your lessons from today ,,,,thanks

[MyTubePlay]

bonjour! Je veux un nom francais, mon nom est Frank anglais.Merci! :)

[jerome7011]

@MyTubePlay Franck ;)

ca s'écrit de cette façon (Franck), mais à la base c'est un nom anglais, il est apparu en France à partir du vingtième siècle.

en anglais, il s'écrit Frank et en France il prend un C

ton prénom en France est donc Franck pas très différent n’est-ce pas :)

[concon0329]

why "how are you" = "comment VAS tu" while answering is "ça VA" ? what's the difference between ''vas'' and ''va''? thank you very much!

[jremy7]

@concon0329

Don't get ahead of me there :)

Vas with an "s" is the second person singular (you)

Va is the third person singular which corresponds to (he, she it)

[finchen1604]

"Je suis Indonésien"

[Creevie]

Remy, I like to listen to Celine Dion. Do you?

:D

[KasiaLw]

Je suis ukrainiene. I like this course of French!

[KasiaLw]

Je suis ukrainiene. I like this course of French!

[chickayah27]

im mixed.. puerto rican and black...how would i say " I am Puerto Rican and Black" ?

[MsDewel]

@chickayah27 you would say " je suis puerto ricain et noir

[guilmon30]

@MsDewel ur french and black? u mean african or something?

[PrinceNoirAmericain]

@chickayah27

Well some Puerto Ricans are Black lol so the sentence wouldn't make any sense, Now, if one of your parents is AA, Haitian, Jamaican etc and the other, Puerto-Rican, ok, that would make sense, because Black is not a nationality.

So you could say "je suis à moitié portoricain à moitié afro-américain" that would make sense lol

[cannoir]

@PrinceNoirAmericain It does but you and I we both know "half puertorican" often implies that someone must be at least part non-black even though that's not the case most times.Most afropuertoricans will tell you ppl assume black and puertorican are mutually exclusive.The French canadian singer Gage has Haitian and Jamaican heritage.he once labelled it "mixed", quite a few ppl were up in arms lol!

[PrinceNoirAmericain]

@cannoir

I just saw your message. The White/Spanish Puerto Ricans outnumber Afro Puerto Ricans that's a fact. And it is usually assumed that when someone says they're Puerto-Rican, it means "White", whereas this is not always the case.

Also, Afro/black Puerto Ricans do not always define themselves as such, in fact, it's even rare, because the term "Black" carries a negative connotation is the eyes of many latinos and understandably so. As for the prefix "Afro", it is simply a label

[PrinceNoirAmericain]

@cannoir

given to people of African ancestry. It is sociologists and ethnologists who, in many cases, began putting the prefix "afro' before the nationalities of individuals of African ancestry, such as "Afro-Bolivian". I used to live in NY, Puerto-Ricans who are visibly Black do not always define themselves as afropuertorican lol.

Je pense qu'il faut privilégier la précision, l'individu n'est pas réductible à sa seule couleur. Etre noir, ça ne veut rien dire en ce qui me concerne

[PrinceNoirAmericain]

@cannoir

That's just my personal opinion, I would say "i'm half Puerto Rican half AA, at least this way, no one is being reduced to a color :-)

[pajmunoz]

bonjour remy, je suis pablo, how do u say ¨i´m from Ecuador¨ or something similar, please,

[WilliamWarney]

Nice lessons. I still hope to speak french in my life and I think those videos will be very important to me.
