I'm using Babble to become fluent in Spanish since I had background in it. It is soooo amazing so far. Worth the money and it is not expensive at all!!! Can't wait until they have Arabic and Japanese.
You're doing such a great job learning French. I'm using Babbel to learn Spanish and French. I'm flying through the Spanish lessons but learning French much slower. Holy cow is it tough.
Lol. The two are hard when you are trying to learn them at the same time, imo. You'd think that because they are both romance languages, that they would both be easy to pick up at the same time, but I was pretty far in french when I tried to take Spanish and for the life of me...I struggled with spanish. That said, I was also taking a load of other credits and I was only taking spanish because I thought it would be easy, but that wasnt the case for me and I dropped the class.
I’m doing a little research to see if I should get this 1 year deal to learn spanish and you’re making it look so fun which is what learning should be! I always grow in reading spanish but get really shy with speaking in front of native speakers but it’s not because of them, it my on unnecessary insecurity! Hopeful this will help me build confidence and I can speak it overseas one day!
Thanks for showing us all this. Of the languages I speak, Portuguese is the one in which my accent is the worst, so after watching your Babbel videos I decided to buy a Portuguese course with Babbel. :) I think the way it makes you speak should help my accent, haha!
Have you come across the "MRS VANDERTRAMP" verbs? (where the verbs that take être are monter, rester, sortir, venir, arriver, naître, descendre, entrer, retourner, tomber, rester, aller, mourir, partir) it's not so much to do with travel as they don't take direct objects (e.g. quitter la maison vs. sortir de la maison)
Yes, you're right! I remember seeing that before but I could never remember all the verbs ;) I've heard a better way to classify is être is used for a 'change of state', but now I'm not sure because of your examples haha!
Did you start to dream in french yet? When I was learning from jr high through college, I would dream in written french because I could read and write it much better than I could speak or understand it. I would also automatically translate some of my other notes in french, as in, when I was writing notes in class for say, biology class, my hand would write french words. It was cool and I wish I had the internet back then to find good french movies with subs... because I literally started learning japanese by watching anime. Japanese is much easier to understand and speak though.
Thats crazy im currently learning german and in my dreams i will randomly switch to german then back to english which is actually causing me to lucid dream more 🤣
Salut Leblazeur! "To watch" is a transitive verb, so it's just "watch someone", rather than "watch at someone". Sorry if this is annoying, I just always appreciate corrections when I speak foreign languages!
Thank u for your video! I'm a Spanish native and I'm learning English and German. I have a médium level of those languages. Your video is so usefully cause I wanna learn Français.
I’m thinking about starting to learn German, I know it’s a very difficult language with plenty of consonants not many vowels, but I just like the Language And obviously English, derived from a lot of Germanic words
It’s not a difficult language at all. I am native English speaker and I’m almost A2 in a month 1/2. I know Atleast 200 words in German and how to construct sentences. What helped me was using duolingo as a soft landing, helped me get my feet wet. Than move on to something more advanced like babbel or pimsleur
I am having a difficult time deciding between a Memrise or Babbel subscription. Plus Memrise is having a sale right now and I like their videos. Does Memrise eventually do full phrases like Babbel? Any other suggestions...
Memrise is a memorisation tool - it will test you mainly on translation - typing things in English and French and typing what you hear. Memrise is therefore mostly good for vocabulary and there are several 'official' French vocabulary sets on Memrise, though you can add your own words to it if you want longer phrases. Babbel however is set out in lessons beginning at complete beginner and advancing to intermediate level and will explain to you how to form sentences, the rules of grammar, spelling, pronunciation etc. Babbel will test your speaking, listening and writing and will 'teach' you step by step like a French course or class. Please see my Babbel lesson demo video: goo.gl/TwRbh7 . In addition there is a memorisation tool, the 'vocabulary review', as seen here. In short: If you want to retain vocab you already know -> Memrise If you want to learn lots of new words quickly -> Memrise You want to add your own words/ customise your revision -> Memrise You want to know set phrases for travelling abroad, eating in restaurants etc -> Memrise You are a complete beginner -> Babbel You want to advance your ability level -> Babbel You want to learn how to converse in French -> Babbel You want to be able to write/understand long, complex texts -> Babbel You want to understand French radio/films -> Babbel You are serious about learning a language thoroughly and properly -> Babbel It really depends what you need the app for! Hope this helps!
I thought you were a native French speaker who has learned to speak English and I was like she got a perfect accent and she’s so fluent! By the way great job 👏
I got their lifetime french deal. On it for 2 weeks. The problem is french is learn by ear not trying to pronounce what you see. Like if you see tu (you) then it pronounce different then what you see. Or ils vs il, where the s is like silent. Anyway, i found the speaking where you record your voice most times I felt I said it right or close but it always tells me I failed. It uses Goolge speech recognition and even if you record the software speaker and play it back to the system that would sometimes failed too. So it's hard because I feel not confident to advance when I don't feel the confident I'm building my pronouncation on foundational words correctly. I wosh they throw in a couple of optional real life sessions to help you correct such verbal mistakes. Maybe like a couple a year.
I NEED YOU!: For an upcoming video, what's something (simple) you struggle to remember in French? 😄 For example, do you always forget which way the e accent should go with passé composé? Do you always mix up 'cheveux' (hair) with 'chevaux' (horses)?! 😯 LET ME KNOW
Ironically, I always used to remember 'to forget' (oublier) but forget 'to remember' (se souvenir). Otherwise, s'assoir haunts me to this day. Great video!
I always struggle to listen to the number in french. Small numbers like 50,60,40 are easy but when it comes up to 2098 or 687, i just can't keep up with the speaker, they speak too fast. And my english isn't very good so sorry if you don't understand me.
UPDATE Thank you for all your comments! 💕 If you are interested, Babbel have now given me an affiliate link you can use and try Babbel before you subscribe: bit.ly/Babbel74 . Hope this helps! Happy learning!
Do you ever use Busuu? I don't know which one, Babbel or Busuu, is worth to pay my money. I prefer Busuu. Because its mobile app's reaction time is faster than Babbel. But I have read some bad comment about Busuu. They said they could not cancel the subscription and called that Busuu are theives...It's afraid of me... But Babbel in addition to its slower reaction time, I think its course is a little boring (it makes me want to sleep...) and Grammar tips are shorter than Busuu (I was just free trial so I don't know the truth). It's hard for me to choose Busuu or Babbel. I need help.
Здравствуйте. Как у вас прогресс с изучением? I choosing an app for learning Dutch, and I wanna hear about your experience so I could your summarize it up with the rest of ones:)
Intermediate level with only Babbel? I'm kind of skeptical, how do you know you are intermediate level? Do you mean in general you believe you have made it to a intermediate level with only Babbel lessons? Or did you pass a French B1 or B2 Exam?
A language school in Paris tested me speaking, reading, listening and writing and told me I was B1. I was probably only just over the threshold and I may have got lucky with the subjects that came up. I took a CEFR test immediately after completing Babbel (so I had not memorised everything on the review manager) and it told me some elements of B1 were achieved and some not. Babbel tell you that you can reach B1 with their programme and I think if you completed all their courses and did the review daily for many months, SOME PEOPLE could reach B1. Depending on level of confidence and experience with languages.
@@SarahsParacosm Wow! That's pretty impressive. Thank you for sharing. I hope you didn't feel like I was attacking you but I was just curious if it was possible to legitimately reach an intermediate level of B1 or B2 with just using the program Babbel.
Inès C'moi si tu veux j'ai fait un tuto sur ma chaîne pour l'avoir illimité gratuitement sur smartphone en gros tu teste 1 ou 2 mois ou plus pour voir si cela te plaît bien sûr ceci est illégal mais bon personnes ne paye rien et personne ne va en prison donc aucune inquiètudes
From what I've read, Babbel doesn't do a good job of helping you actually learn to speak the language effectively. Great for flashcard type stuff or the type of review laid out in the video. Sadly, Rocket French is probably the way I'll have to go. I hear mixing Babbel and Rocket French together is a great option, but rather expensive. Thanks for the video!
Cuidado con tus hijos! No les recomiendo Babbel, en el curso de bodas involucra tema POLÉMICO con imagen de "boda" de la nueva agenda doctrinal que quieren algunos grupos minoritarios implementar quebrantando los valores humanos y la sociedad. Careful with your children! I do not recommend Babbel, in the course of weddings it includes a VERY CONTROVERAIAL issue with the image of "wedding" form the new doctrinal agenda that some minority groups want to implement, breaking human values and society.

For me, its almost anything past tense. Passé compose is one with être and avoir.
I forget that reflexive verbs take être in the passé composé
The subjunctive always slips my mind when im trying to work :(
I always struggle to listen to the number in french. Small numbers like 50,60,40 are easy but when it comes up to 2098 or 687, i just can't keep up with the speaker, they speak too fast.
And my english isn't very good so sorry if you don't understand me.
The Goldlist method is good for putting vocab in to the long term memory.
Can you speak the language? I mean can you have a conversation with a native speaker?
