So basically oh la la is like the oh my god for americans

My french understanding is still pretty good considering i haven't studied it in about 15 yrs

la façon dont elle dit les choses semble si adorable🥰

One of the ways I remember the meaning of that word, is if you separate it, it literally says « bonne heur » which means “good hour” so I like to think they’re sort of similar?? Idk that’s how I remember certain things lol.

I’ve been learning French for the last 4 years in school, and I never thought I would be able to understand French well, until now!! It’s finally coming together and I’m so happy. Je suis très content!

Ill start running through all of them like spongebob looking for his name as im trying to find one simple word 😅😅

Agreed. When i originally learned German, same issue. After learning ASL, i came back to Gerrman, and last year i started Japanese. Because i finding ways that worked for me, ive aded 4 more languages this year

It took my Senegalese friend explaining this to me 😅 i was definitely confused lol spenta while thinking my Parisian friends had an inside joke only to learn there are different versions of the expression

J'utilise tout le temps "de ouf" ou "c'est ouf" qui est le verlan de "fou", donc c'est "c'est fou" en verlan

"...elle me fait trois petites crottes!"

for a glorious second, I thought that I was way more skilled in French than I am. Damn it

I was chatting in English to the bilingual 11 year old son of a friend recently. French mum, English dad, lives in France. He was telling me about how he 'can telecharge games from the internet'.

*adds hearing French in an American accent to list of things normalized by growing up in LA*😂

A lot of Southeast Asian are trilingual, and we sometimes speak all three languages at once 😂

The way kids learn is so fascinating!

Je sais was hilarious

It's called deduction! That's how we automatically learn our mother tongues. Brain is great and powerful!

😂😂 “ton frère” “Je sais” ❤❤❤

That American accent at the end was not expected omg 😂

Love that you don’t post your kids faces. Subscribed immediately. Staying for the French lessons ❤Great job.

Eez is a freezy bear 🔥❤

‘Freezy bear’ in a French accent is actually killing me oh my GOD.

Omg, I could never pronounce écureuil and I’ve been learning/practicing French on and off since I was 11! (I’m in my 30s lmao, it’s sporadic.) I just said it out loud once after you demonstrated and I could do it perfectly! Voilà ! 😂

Wait urs is bear in French? Then it makes sense that the bear Pokémon is called ursaring in German

That child is awesome Seriously

A toy washing machine? I would love one too!!

I’m multilingual too and fluent in multiple languages like her. People who are fluent don’t translate a sentence or a word in their brain. Instead they understand the feeling, the intensity of what is being expressed, and then translate that emotion. That’s how your daughter did that.

Welsh and Indigenous Canadian and English and we say Crèche.

This is so interesting! My niece is bilingual English and Dutch speaking and does something similar. In Dutch words ending in D are pronounced as a T sound, but she pronounces them with a D sound (like frienD) and it always really confused me because she's never seen these words written down, only spoken. I think it's because these words in plural do have a D sound. Love this.

She must’ve heard it from somewhere and at three she would’ve only needed to have heard it once if that’s when she made the connection. What I want to know is if she EVER speaks English as if it’s a translation from French.

Its not that hard when you think about it. Kids hear something, they repeat it. They wont always fully understand exactly what it is they are saying, only that it makes sense in context. Thats why she uses different proposistions. She has heard one for english and another for french. So instead of grying to make sense of it, she repeats what she has heard for the appropriate language.

i found my kids in their early years knew stuff i couldnt explain how.

Its like a German "ach", a Jewish "oy vey"?

My daughter is 2 and can already speak almost perfect English. Considering she's growing up in a multilingual home, I sometimes observe her visibly switching between languages.

They are LISTENING! They add words and phrases into the language iceberg. Eventually, those words come to the surface of the iceberg…and come out in spoken language! Wow, you guys are doing a phenomenal job with your kids. (And I suspect that your child is VERY bright!) ❤

Papillon de nuit is soooo cuteeee!! OMG!!! 🥹

“Je sais” 😂

I’m 64 and have only ever spoken English. I barely passed German in college. Out of the blue, I started French on Duolingo. I just can’t believe how fun the language is. I just love making the phrases. I’ve always been good with grammar without worrying about the rules. It just sounds right.

I love pumpkin as a vegetable or as psl nothing else

that “regardez” is too cute

Could be from TV, the internet or a book, possibly even some stranger’s conversation. Children are smarter than we realize and nowadays they have access to so many interactions. English is a popular language and maybe that’s also one of your child’s intellectual strengths, not all children would figure that out

when i went to france i saw a little french boy fall off his bike and say “oh la la” it was so cute 😊

Omigod i came from your video asking your kids about freezy bears and your english maintained a french accent there (Im guessing that makes it easier to switch back and forth), so this caught me WILDLY off guard 😅

He is correct, it is very cool

Oh no 😂😂😂 i can see how they got confused lol

Hahahahaha le fin does she say what I think she does 😂

Regarde 🥹🥰🤟🏻

And then there’s some of that only speak one language and didn’t even speak it right till 16 years old

Research "language acquisition" available to kids under 6. It is a natural ability that assists children to survive, by allowing communication to be picked up extremely quickly and well. If you add another language now they will pick it up as well - fades after 6.

Grammatical prepositions don't translate well from Romance to Germanic, but if she's been raised primarily to recognise French language structure, then it's possible she heard it in English first, and just constructed the French correctly. She would know on instinct that, "avec," does not fit here....
