I have to choose between Italian, French, or Russian as my selected language class sequence for two years starting in 6 months… I don’t know which to pick! They’re all awesome.
me too had a sudden urge to learn french downloaded duolingo losing confidence now that grammar is hard but no i will learn French by the end of this year
Native speaker here For all of those struggling with the pronunciation of "rencontrer", you'll be happy to learn that most of the time, "enchanté" is enough, because the rest is implied Hope this helps !
@@kelkellys when you want to be really polite i guess because "enchanté" alone is already a formal and polite way to greet someone that you don't know.
I learnt French over 22 years ago. After I retired 20 years ago I have not gone back to it. My 62 year old son spoke to me in French 2 nights ago because he is learning it now. I told him I.have all my old notes and I will go back and check them out. Seeing and hearing Ingrid is an inspiration, I am on my way. Merci beaucoup Ingrid.
As a Brazilian, I've found almost everything she explained so easy it hurts me not learning it on my teenage years. Except for the "r" pronunciation, which is actually hard.
@@JamesCharIes And also, we rarely say “Ravie de te Rencontrer”, except if you visit a perfect place of Paris, we say “Salut, yo, ça va ? Tu fais quoi ? ». If you can’t pronounce the French R, it will be also so fucking difficult to learn Spanish, Portuguese or Italian.
Learning French has been an interesting experience as a native U.S. English speaker. Growing up, Spanish was required in school. It seemed very logical in regards to sentence structure compared to English. As an adult, I chose to learn Italian. I was surprised how similar Italian was to Spanish, and I was able to read it before I could speak it. But.... now, learning French, it is kicking my butt. Videos like this one are very helpful! It doesn't seem to stick in my brain very well for some reason. I would rate the pronunciation at a 9/10 difficulty. Perhaps it is just the natural differences of sentence structure and mouth position. One day I will conquer this barrier! Lol.
Yep same problem here. I speak fluent Spanish and it does help sometimes because you can def see the two languages come from the same root. But the pronunciation is on another level! Just the number 4 is giving me trouble with that weird "hgrch" sound at the end haha
Same issue for me. I took several Spanish classes in college, all the way to advanced levels and did well. I found Spanish pronunciation to be simple and easy for me to do. Having a hard time with French pronunciation. And French is always spoken at a speed of light. Even when the video presenter was speaking slow, it still seems fast to me and having difficulty getting a grip of pronouncing.
As an Asian I gotta lean English Cantonese mandarin and Fu Jian Hua ( which is a kind of a native language in China ) and now I am learning French for some reason :b
Ya. After trying to pronounce the r and realizing how nasally the language is, I have a bit more sympathy for Asians speaking engrish Our mouth muscles were not properly prepared for these noises
Thanks to Duolingo I’ve come a long way. Being bilingual and having as well the basics of Italian down I thought 15 years ago I want to learn French cause I was convinced it was the love language of the world.. that wasn’t true.. but however around 2 years ago I got Duolingo and decided to focus on French. My household is annoyed by this point cause they don’t understand a word I say but I’m waiting for a 5 year mark before I confidently go out talking with French folks. I like these videos cause it’s nice hearing a real person and not an app. See y’all in 2025!
@@ALPHANIMSwag it’s just not my style. I have never worn one in my life. Now for the culture, I’d buy one as a remembrance of my time, possibly wear it once or so. Trust me, I’ve seen folks wear them and they just look awesome and so cool however I’ve never worn one before. 👍🏼
@@tutinn_ ah ok I thought you would never visit Paris sorry I misunderstood but at the same time I am French so don't expect a high level of English from me
i saw a insta thread and the end of it had something like "imagine you come out of quarantine and your crush sees you lost 15 pounds and you speak french" and now i'm motivated
Currently on my way to being a polyglot ! I grew up with indonesian , english and german and im currently learning italian in school and french at home. This channel has been a great help.
I just _love_ these titles - 'Learn French in 25 minutes'. Wow! I spent a whole year in ninth grade learning basic to lower-intermediate French. If only I had had this video; I'd have learned it all in 25 minutes!
True story I was at the bar one night about half drunk already and this Asian guy was exiting the men’s room at the same time as me. He held the door open and I said “Merci” although I have no idea why. He stopped and looked dead into my eyes and asked “how did you know I was French?!” I thought he was joking so I asked him how to say a few things in French (I don’t speak French but know enough to know if he was full of crap.) He was fluent! Invited me over to meet his two buddies, another Frenchman and a Swedish guy who were touring the US together. We had a drink and a few good laughs. I must have subconsciously heard one of them say something in an accent earlier in the evening, but it was one of the strangest coincidences of recent memory!
Jim Legge Vietnamese here and I cannot approve ... none of my grandparents can speak any French. I don’t know any elder who can either. Maybe just a few scholars and who worked for the French government during that period
Successfull people don't become that way overnight. most people see at a glance-wealth, a great career, purpose-is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life..
I’m learning French because I plan to be a exchange student in France in the future I’m using Duolingo and RUclips videos. I need to be at an A2 level (ability to communicate in everyday situations and have elementary school vocabulary) Merci beaucoup!
So I studied french in school in Sweden for 3 years, but still I learned more french than ever only by watching your videos. Les enseignants comme vous ne sont pas faciles à trouver! Merci beaucoup!

@@L3O7M It's kind of similar to how numbers in Danish are perceived by their Scandinavian neighbours, although Danish numbers go wonky all the way from 50 to 99.
Repeat the words one at a time over and over until you get the hang of it then slowly try to combine them. It'll be a little easier that way than tackling it all at once. Rewind the video if you need to hear it repeated. The tongue is a muscle thus by training the muscle memory it'll make it easier alongside just using ones normal memory.
You're absolutely right, you've summed it up. And when you realize that most of the French people struggle to write their own language, that gives you an idea of the difficulty of this language...
I'm French and what you are saying is perfectly right. As you said, we don't prenonce a lot of letters in a word. French teenagers do a lot of ortographic mistakes. And we have a lot of combination of letters who have the same prononciation. For example : "interroger" (to question) "interrogé" (questioned) "interrogée" (questioned) "interrogez" (question! (as an order)) have the same prononciation. When you write "ils mangeaient" (they ate) you don't prenonce the "ent" you don't prenonce the "e" between the "g" and "a" and you don't prenonce the "s" in "ils". It's a very difficult language. If you go in France you have nearly no chances to find someone who write in French without any mistakes. 😅
haha don’t worry : French don’t _really_ have a distinction between formal and informal as much as in the two languages you mentioned because it essentially lies on the type of word you’re using (the use of “vous” or special words that are really polite) and sometimes how you say the sentence. There is pretty much as much formal and informal in French than there is in English. Most of the examples gave in this video show exactly that. I even saw someone in the comment (which is true, I can confirm), saying that French people don’t say : “Enchanté de vous rencontré” but simply : “Enchanté”, but it’s still formal. For example, let’s imagine someone has an accident, you come to this person and say : “vous allez bien ? (are you alright?)”, which is formal, but you can also say : “ça va ? (you ok?)” which is more informal, but both are acceptable, “respectful” (don’t use the informal when you’re with your boss though, that’s probably the only case where formal is required), plus, French are less strict on the use of the formal form than asian countries, or as I said, except in the business with your boss or something equivalent. Another example, this time on the way you say it : let’s take the exact same sentences in the video : “Excusez-moi, est-ce que vous parlez anglais ?” (“Excusez-moi, vous parlez anglais ?” also works as an formal sentence) “Je ne parles pas anglais.”. The question and the answer are formal, and so the informal, as much in the words you use in the sentence as the way you pronounce, would be : “Excuse-moi, tu parles anglais ?” “Non, J’parle pas anglais” (the “J’pa…” shouldn’t be written but is really often pronounced like that), which is pretty much the same thing except the ”est-ce que” and the “ne” that disappeared and the switch from “vous” to “tu”, with the conjugation that follows the subject. So, it’s not as hard as Japanese or Korean (or at least Japanese, as I mostly know about this language and less about the other one), where you have a formal and informal version for absolutely every verb and every conjugation and where you have special sentences that are use very often, unlike in French where those “special sentences” are used when you write a professional e-mail, or things like that, and when they’re with their co-workers, they’re using the informal language, which is totally acceptable. (formal would be required in the beginning but you can rapidly switch to the informal language if the person you’re talking with is not a total stranger.)
@@rigierish3807 ooooh I've been learning French since I posted this comment and I really just thought that the formal-informal ways of speaking French is the same as Korean and Japanese, well turns out it's much more easier in French than the two languages I mentioned. Thanks for the info though! It is well appreciated
My teacher : "Please, try!" Me : "No, French is too hard". The girl of the video : "Please try" **smiles** Also me : "La République Française telle qu'on la connaît aujourd'hui est confrontée à des menaces extérieures de toutes sortes, dont une confrontation inter-étatique très forte au sein de l'union Européenne".
Im french and this is a list of important word (said me if u want more) Bonjour= good morning Salut= hi, hello Merci = thanks Au revoir= goodbye Haut= high Bas= low Milieu= middle Oui = yes Non = no Quelque chose = something (chose = thing) Où = where (but not "ou", this is " or") Je = i Tu = you (1st) Il = he Nous = we Vous = you (2d) Ils = they

But it was 6 days/5 nights, free breakfast, roudtrip flight and i think it was $600 per person. i never saw that deal ever again. and we've never been able to go back either because it's so expensive. now we have a house and kids and bills so we really don't have money to go back :( everytime we save, something else comes up
I'm on my third month of learning french and I had your same issue when I started 😅 what helped me to pronounce is to study the french vowels along with my normal studying. Keep on trying to pronounce basic words that exaggerate vowels. Try to say "trois" or "francis" While doing it try to let go of your english instincts. Don't learn it, Aquire the french sound
@@afox1689 Thank you so much for the suggestion. I'll definitely do that. Can you recommend an application where I can learn French? I'm using Duolingo and I've acquired a lot of French words but still don't know how to pronounce them. Haha
im late idk if ur still learning but a good tip that always helped me with learning languages is to see the movement of other ppls lips/placement of their tongue when they speak. even in this video its helpful to look at her lips so its easier to replicate the sounds
@Kişisel Gelişim I’m American but my parents are from Spain. And yes doesn’t matter if I speak English and Spanish. That word is still a struggle to pronounce and I ain’t ashamed to say Lolol
@@carstenhemel2574 honestly, it's not. the lady/gentleman above just wanted to learn a new language, everything out of curiosity. but since they didn't have a strong reason to do it, they gave up halfway. from my point of view, that's just human nature -- leaving boring things behind.
I’m taking french class in University and im having lots of trouble communicating the right way with my lecturer. This helped a lot!! Je vous remercie !
“Enchantée de te rencontrer” means Enchanted to meet you, and no one actually says that. You can just say Enchantée which has the meaning of Nice to meet you in french
I really love the French language, I think it's the most beautiful language in the world. I would love to learn it but I'm worried because I have heard that most French people will make fun of you for trying to speak French to them if it isn't your native language :/
Even if you only speak the basics of another language, you know more and are a bit smarter than a person who speaks only one! Be proud for learning and speaking another language. Also, the best way to learn to speak a language is in talking to native speaker~
First, let me say you are doing a great job for those who need to study french. I hope that you will explain french words more slowly, especially difficult one so that we will be able to follow easily. Thank you
@@gavins.9254 I agree. Personally, French is my mother tongue. So, she speaks quite slowly in French for me. But it's true that for those who are learning, it's pretty fast. Good luck! Je suis d'accord. Personnellement, le français est ma langue maternelle. Donc, elle parle assez lentement en français pour moi. Mais c'est vrai que pour ceux qui apprennent, c'est plutôt rapide. Bon courage !
@@gavins.9254 Ooooh. This is nice. Besides French, what language is spoken in Norway? ( Just out of curiosity ^^ ) I'm here to review the basics of English personally.
I tried learning french two years ago, and i gave up because it was too hard. I picked up spanish during that time. Picking up french after having learned spanish, as an english speaker, is much easier
Me: Let's learn French..shudnt be that hard "Rencontrer": Hold my beer Edit: Never got so many like on my comment...certainly so many people can relate this 😅. PS: it's been 4 months..I'm still nowhere close to pronounce it the way she does

merci beaucoup de m'avoir aider à apprendre le français en seulement 24 min au début j ai cru que le français était tellement dur mais à cause de vous j ai appris que le français facile il a besoin seulement de concentration haha
Now I've realized that being a Spanish native speaker has some advantages when learning French. It is easy for us to pronounce the "R", and the grammatical structure is pretty much similar.
Me but with Portuguese. Knowing one of the romance languages gives you like a secret key into them all. Once you crack into one, it's easy to learn the rest.
@@IdontKnow-bq2qe wtf lol, I didn't know there was a single language for Asia called "Asian". Last I checked Asia has a wide range of diverse languages

i am a waiter in the united states. people love when i use french especially foreigners they relate dining and cuisine with french it is the universal language of restaurants!

Lmaooo Im French myself and I must admit, I’m quite happy I’m a native speaker like wth even for native speakers French is so complex I can’t fathom how difficult it must be to learn it from scratch
Are there any good shows, songs, etc that I can listen to and watch that can progress my French? Because I know many french people who have learned english doing the same things
@@ashy6367 well personally, I prefer to read to learn a new language because this way I learn a lot of new words and when I encounter these words in an actual conversation, I’m not taken aback. What I do is keep a repertoire of words that I jot down along my reading. That being said, depending on your level of English, I suggest you watch any show you want in French with French subtitles. If you don’t understand the structure of any sentence, you should take the time to pause and examine the sentence carefully to fully understand how it works (it takes some time at first but then you ll progress and then you’ll need less and less time to understand the grammar and structure of the sentence in question since you’re going to assimilate it definitely) Netflix is very useful for that. Now, for some songs in French, I’m going to recommend some that are deeply ingrained in French culture and others that are just well liked - every song by Jean Jacques Goldman - evr song by Jacques Brel - the most viewed Indila songs (she doesn’t sing much nowadays unfortunately) - every songs by Mylène Farmer - every songs by Amel bent - Maître Gims (Bella, Sape comme jamais, je te pardonne ft Sia … ) be careful with those songs, they are not always grammatically correct - Macarena, amnésie etc by Damso ( he’s a rapper but he often uses interesting words) some of his songs are not really interesting to learn french. - every songs by shy’m - Every songs by Tayc - papaoutai, Stromae If you want some French movies: - qu’est-ce que nous avons fait au bon dieu? - taxi (1,2,3,4,5) - the recent show Lupin which is featuring one of the most well liked French actor in France, Omar Sy - Intouchable, also featuring Omar Sy - La tour Montparnasse - Babysitting - les Jamel Comedy club Etc Books: Some classics first (those are a bit difficult) - les trois mousquetaires Alexandre Dumas - Bel ami guy de Maupassant - mme Bovary by Flaubert - Puzzle by Franck Thilliez - Blue Jay Way by Fabrice Colin There are a lot more but I don’t really know your preferences so i tried to suggest you un petit peu de tout ! Bon courage ! If you have any question, n’hésitez pas !

I took a year of French in school but am now much older. I am not having any problems until I try to hear and pronounce rencontrer. I even put this on a much slower playback speed and tried to understand your pronunciation. I finally went to some other videos to listen which was better and practice saying it. I think I need a synonym for the word meet, perhaps make your acquaintance.
Its funny how some people say learning english is difficult, but for me it seems like learning french is far more difficult, than learning english and at least with the pronounciation. English pronounciation is much easier, when you only need to learn somebody else prounce it and then you can also easily prounce it also, but for french prounounciation you need a lot more practice and french written words remind even less of the way they were said, than english words do, so that makes it even more difficult to learn written french.

Learning French has been an interesting experience as a native U.S. English speaker. Growing up, Spanish was required in school. It seemed very logical in regards to sentence structure compared to English. As an adult, I chose to learn Italian. I was surprised how similar Italian was to Spanish, and I was able to read it before I could speak it. But.... now, learning French, it is kicking my butt. Videos like this one are very helpful! It doesn't seem to stick in my brain very well for some reason. I would rate the pronunciation at a 9/10 difficulty. Perhaps it is just the natural differences of sentence structure and mouth position. One day I will conquer this barrier! Lol.
Yep same problem here. I speak fluent Spanish and it does help sometimes because you can def see the two languages come from the same root. But the pronunciation is on another level! Just the number 4 is giving me trouble with that weird "hgrch" sound at the end haha
Same issue for me. I took several Spanish classes in college, all the way to advanced levels and did well. I found Spanish pronunciation to be simple and easy for me to do. Having a hard time with French pronunciation. And French is always spoken at a speed of light. Even when the video presenter was speaking slow, it still seems fast to me and having difficulty getting a grip of pronouncing.
As an Asian I gotta lean English Cantonese mandarin and Fu Jian Hua ( which is a kind of a native language in China ) and now I am learning French for some reason :b
Ya. After trying to pronounce the r and realizing how nasally the language is, I have a bit more sympathy for Asians speaking engrish
Our mouth muscles were not properly prepared for these noises

Thanks to Duolingo I’ve come a long way. Being bilingual and having as well the basics of Italian down I thought 15 years ago I want to learn French cause I was convinced it was the love language of the world.. that wasn’t true.. but however around 2 years ago I got Duolingo and decided to focus on French. My household is annoyed by this point cause they don’t understand a word I say but I’m waiting for a 5 year mark before I confidently go out talking with French folks. I like these videos cause it’s nice hearing a real person and not an app. See y’all in 2025!

I just _love_ these titles - 'Learn French in 25 minutes'. Wow! I spent a whole year in ninth grade learning basic to lower-intermediate French. If only I had had this video; I'd have learned it all in 25 minutes!
True story I was at the bar one night about half drunk already and this Asian guy was exiting the men’s room at the same time as me. He held the door open and I said “Merci” although I have no idea why. He stopped and looked dead into my eyes and asked “how did you know I was French?!”
I thought he was joking so I asked him how to say a few things in French (I don’t speak French but know enough to know if he was full of crap.)
He was fluent! Invited me over to meet his two buddies, another Frenchman and a Swedish guy who were touring the US together. We had a drink and a few good laughs.
I must have subconsciously heard one of them say something in an accent earlier in the evening, but it was one of the strangest coincidences of recent memory!
He's Asian and French? Man now THAT'S what i call Asian level.
Almost all Vietnamese people speak French. It was part of French Indochina from 1887 thru 1954. French was the official language.
Cheeses Crust coincidences in the name of French ,lol
Jim Legge yep. I didn’t know that until i saw Apocalypse Now Redux lol
Jim Legge Vietnamese here and I cannot approve ... none of my grandparents can speak any French. I don’t know any elder who can either. Maybe just a few scholars and who worked for the French government during that period

Repeat the words one at a time over and over until you get the hang of it then slowly try to combine them. It'll be a little easier that way than tackling it all at once. Rewind the video if you need to hear it repeated. The tongue is a muscle thus by training the muscle memory it'll make it easier alongside just using ones normal memory.

French in nutshell: writing 10 characters but pronauncing just 4
*pronouncing*
You're absolutely right, you've summed it up. And when you realize that most of the French people struggle to write their own language, that gives you an idea of the difficulty of this language...
I'm French and what you are saying is perfectly right. As you said, we don't prenonce a lot of letters in a word. French teenagers do a lot of ortographic mistakes. And we have a lot of combination of letters who have the same prononciation. For example : "interroger" (to question) "interrogé" (questioned) "interrogée" (questioned)
"interrogez" (question! (as an order)) have the same prononciation. When you write "ils mangeaient" (they ate) you don't prenonce the "ent" you don't prenonce the "e" between the "g" and "a" and you don't prenonce the "s" in "ils". It's a very difficult language. If you go in France you have nearly no chances to find someone who write in French without any mistakes. 😅
@@damien2339 YES.
@@ray_z3326 And I thought I was the ONLY ONE PERSON who found French difficult.
"there is a difference in formal and informal language"
me who gave up on korean and japanese because of that reason:
haha don’t worry : French don’t _really_ have a distinction between formal and informal as much as in the two languages you mentioned because it essentially lies on the type of word you’re using (the use of “vous” or special words that are really polite) and sometimes how you say the sentence. There is pretty much as much formal and informal in French than there is in English. Most of the examples gave in this video show exactly that. I even saw someone in the comment (which is true, I can confirm), saying that French people don’t say : “Enchanté de vous rencontré” but simply : “Enchanté”, but it’s still formal. For example, let’s imagine someone has an accident, you come to this person and say : “vous allez bien ? (are you alright?)”, which is formal, but you can also say : “ça va ? (you ok?)” which is more informal, but both are acceptable, “respectful” (don’t use the informal when you’re with your boss though, that’s probably the only case where formal is required), plus, French are less strict on the use of the formal form than asian countries, or as I said, except in the business with your boss or something equivalent. Another example, this time on the way you say it : let’s take the exact same sentences in the video : “Excusez-moi, est-ce que vous parlez anglais ?” (“Excusez-moi, vous parlez anglais ?” also works as an formal sentence) “Je ne parles pas anglais.”. The question and the answer are formal, and so the informal, as much in the words you use in the sentence as the way you pronounce, would be : “Excuse-moi, tu parles anglais ?” “Non, J’parle pas anglais” (the “J’pa…” shouldn’t be written but is really often pronounced like that), which is pretty much the same thing except the ”est-ce que” and the “ne” that disappeared and the switch from “vous” to “tu”, with the conjugation that follows the subject. So, it’s not as hard as Japanese or Korean (or at least Japanese, as I mostly know about this language and less about the other one), where you have a formal and informal version for absolutely every verb and every conjugation and where you have special sentences that are use very often, unlike in French where those “special sentences” are used when you write a professional e-mail, or things like that, and when they’re with their co-workers, they’re using the informal language, which is totally acceptable. (formal would be required in the beginning but you can rapidly switch to the informal language if the person you’re talking with is not a total stranger.)

Now I've realized that being a Spanish native speaker has some advantages when learning French. It is easy for us to pronounce the "R", and the grammatical structure is pretty much similar.
Me but with Portuguese. Knowing one of the romance languages gives you like a secret key into them all. Once you crack into one, it's easy to learn the rest.

Hello, I’m French and I teach to my workers how to speak French but I didn’t know where to start, with your video it’s help me a lot. Merci beaucoup tu gères !
Another crybaby
Epic shortcut:
If you put the video in 2x speed, you learn french in 12 minutes
you're welcome ;)
I have spent months researching into speaking French quickly and discovered a fantastic website at Magic Language Method (check it out on google)
Simon Boros bro you’re a legend
No, no, he's got a point
watch a Spanish video concurrently at 2x speed making that 2 languages in 12 minutes, then technically you've learnt french in 6 minutes. quick mafs

Friendsss hhha
i am a waiter in the united states. people love when i use french especially foreigners they relate dining and cuisine with french it is the universal language of restaurants!
Im learning Spanish and French at the same time, Although my Spanish level is intermediate, I find french really hard, Mostly because of the pronunciacion and the ortography. But im determined to learn this beautiful language.
¡Estoy probando aprender español y francés en el tiempo mismo también! Obviamente mi español no es bueno pero estoy trabajándolo. Estoy empezando mi francés con el video. ¡Buena suerte para ti y para mí!
Learn German instead it is beautiful
@@COBRA-rq1ig Isn’t German harder than Spanish and French?
@@langre_2 Yes but it is beautiful
Same.
Lmaooo Im French myself and I must admit, I’m quite happy I’m a native speaker like wth even for native speakers French is so complex I can’t fathom how difficult it must be to learn it from scratch
Are there any good shows, songs, etc that I can listen to and watch that can progress my French? Because I know many french people who have learned english doing the same things
@@ashy6367 well personally, I prefer to read to learn a new language because this way I learn a lot of new words and when I encounter these words in an actual conversation, I’m not taken aback. What I do is keep a repertoire of words that I jot down along my reading. That being said, depending on your level of English, I suggest you watch any show you want in French with French subtitles. If you don’t understand the structure of any sentence, you should take the time to pause and examine the sentence carefully to fully understand how it works (it takes some time at first but then you ll progress and then you’ll need less and less time to understand the grammar and structure of the sentence in question since you’re going to assimilate it definitely) Netflix is very useful for that.
Now, for some songs in French, I’m going to recommend some that are deeply ingrained in French culture and others that are just well liked
- every song by Jean Jacques Goldman
- evr song by Jacques Brel
- the most viewed Indila songs (she doesn’t sing much nowadays unfortunately)
- every songs by Mylène Farmer
- every songs by Amel bent
- Maître Gims (Bella, Sape comme jamais, je te pardonne ft Sia … ) be careful with those songs, they are not always grammatically correct
- Macarena, amnésie etc by Damso ( he’s a rapper but he often uses interesting words) some of his songs are not really interesting to learn french.
- every songs by shy’m
- Every songs by Tayc
- papaoutai, Stromae
If you want some French movies:
- qu’est-ce que nous avons fait au bon dieu?
- taxi (1,2,3,4,5)
- the recent show Lupin which is featuring one of the most well liked French actor in France, Omar Sy
- Intouchable, also featuring Omar Sy
- La tour Montparnasse
- Babysitting
- les Jamel Comedy club
Etc
Books:
Some classics first (those are a bit difficult)
- les trois mousquetaires Alexandre Dumas
- Bel ami guy de Maupassant
- mme Bovary by Flaubert
- Puzzle by Franck Thilliez
- Blue Jay Way by Fabrice Colin
There are a lot more but I don’t really know your preferences so i tried to suggest you un petit peu de tout !
Bon courage ! If you have any question, n’hésitez pas !
It wasn’t that hard for me.
@@naemabondoux517 Ah ok, merci!
The price you pay for being a french native speaker who knows english is that your english accent is shit!! Might be fun for 5mins then it gets annoying KEKW. FAX. 😂🤣😂🤣🤮🤮🤮🤮

@@SinaYL2007 ça va encore l'Allemand c'est pas très dur
@@SinaYL2007 honnêtement à quoi bon apprendre le français ? Des gens ont pour langue maternelle l'anglais, la langue universelle et veulent apprendre une langue dure comme le français
@@grenouillesupreme grave 🤣
I took a year of French in school but am now much older. I am not having any problems until I try to hear and pronounce rencontrer. I even put this on a much slower playback speed and tried to understand your pronunciation.
I finally went to some other videos to listen which was better and practice saying it.
I think I need a synonym for the word meet, perhaps make your acquaintance.
I truly appreciate these lessons and tutors. Please never stop. Merci beaucoup!
Its funny how some people say learning english is difficult, but for me it seems like learning french is far more difficult, than learning english and at least with the pronounciation. English pronounciation is much easier, when you only need to learn somebody else prounce it and then you can also easily prounce it also, but for french prounounciation you need a lot more practice and french written words remind even less of the way they were said, than english words do, so that makes it even more difficult to learn written french.
Ingrid: Say 'enchantée de te recronter'
Me in a dumb accent: *EnChAnT tHe ReCoRdEr*
😂😂😂
I think that's the hardest word to pronounce in this whole tutorial.
@epitome ofbeauty ?
That's America for you. I pronounced it like aun-shawn-tey day-te-re-cont-rrey
