Hi! Thanks for the video. I've been learning French for a while so I appreciate the tips. Inconsistency has been my biggest problem. I also think not having clear targets is another thing. Can you give examples of targets? You speak really well by the way. I've also visited Montpellier on 2 occasions. First time round, I stayed on rue de l'aiguillerie and the most recent visit near Jardin des Plantes. So, very close to most sights haha. I love this city. I'll go again next year hopefully =)

Love it, thanks for this video. I stumbled your channel by accident. I've been learning French this year and it's been mainly through TH-camrs like you. I hope to get to the point where I'm vlogging in French too!!
Good luck with your goal. And avec le français :). Here's a tip for you: Decide what "vlogging in French" means to you and aim for that level. I still get stuck for words, redo things, curse myself, but the end product is in French. If you inadvertently don't specify to yourself it could be easy to never feel ready. I hate walking round with a camera in public. Whereas that might be no problem for you :). So much is mindset! But obviously when you're just beginning it's about getting a fi base of words too :)
@@FrenchinPlainSight Thank you for this great advice. Yes, I know the feeling EXACTEMENT about vlogging in front of a camera in public spaces (and if I'm talking in French guaranteed people will think me strange). However, I've been doing videos for a while and only ever did one vlog in French which was so embarrassing!! However, you propose something that is quite valuable about getting out of one's comfort zone and it may be a way for French people to give me feedback! (which is what I'm missing)... Thanks again and look forward to more videos!
Merci Alex, j’apprécie tout que tu fais pour nous, j’aime tes vidéos, elles sont toujours amusantes et intéressante. C’est bien qu’en tant que « perfectionniste » tu nous permets de voir que tu fais des erreurs et que c’est pas de problème !! Bravo, c’est encourageant 👍👍 je viens de t’acheter une pression 🍺 merci pour tout. Santé 🍺 🍺
I love Montpelier, and all of Vermont. Never seen any of those places you visit, but I guess it’s bigger than I remember.. and Canada is never tooo far away. thanks for the video ! (And a pilgrimage to Lake Champlain is highly recommended)
@@FrenchinPlainSight Imagine naming a state capital after a city in France.. Such general enthusiasm for all things French as a result of the country's aid to the American colonies.. good times.
@@FrenchinPlainSight the mistakes come regardless haha! I often get too in my own head trying to formulate a sentence and by the time I try to speak, things have moved on. Just discovered your vids and enjoying them so far, thanks!
Carrément ! I totally hear you Mel. Still happens to me now from time to time. So, do you feel like your 4 skills are around the same level or is your speaking lower? You might like my speaking guide: bit.ly/fips-guide-2. There are tips there that I haven't mentioned here. Thanks for the compliment. I'll keep going :D.
Salut! Ça va? C'est une très bonne vidéo. Je suis d'accord...Je pense que c'est très important d'apprendre chaque les jours et régulièrement. Au fait, vous parlez parfaitement français. Plus lentement, je ne sais pas, parce que vous avez "subtitled"
C'est loiiiinnnnnnn d'être parfait. Je commets beaucoup de fautes mais je parle vite et mon accent n'est pas mauvais. Mais merci pour le compliment. Je l'ai fait pour vous montrer qu'il ne faut pas être parfait. Les natifs commettent des erreurs tout le temps !
Watching this as I'm considering moving from MTL to Montpellier (originally from Sheffield!). It's -20 here so I'm chuckling at your "nesh-ness". Comment peut-on traduire cela en français, hein. :-P
Ça veut dire que tu as regardé la vidéo entière. Je te remercie Ashley :). Ah oui, c'est tellement frustrant d'avoir un vocabulaire limité ! Qu'est-ce que tu vas y faire ?

Nice to see Montpellier too!! We have a house nearby but now stuck in Oz :(((

Merci bien Anita ! Santé ! 🍻
J'ai adoré ta vidéo et ton français est nickel ! Continue comme ça :)
Merciiii!

Hehe. You're thinking of Montpelier, Vermont. This is Montpellier, France (2 L in the name).

Merci pour cette visite de Montpellier .🙏🤗
Avec plaisir !
On ne se moquera jamais de toi. Car on adore les gens qui parlent plusieurs langues. 😲👍👏
Parfait 👍🏻
Speed was good, I'm like mid A2 level trying to crack B1 and enjoyed seeing you speak even when wasn't perfect - def the thing I find most difficult!
Thanks for the feedback Mel! Do you find speaking most difficult or letting yourself make mistakes?

Was it's really that cold?
17"C is a strange temperature on the continent. It's not the same as 17°C in Ireland... which is a summers day.
J’ai une question sur le français, pourquoi tu as dit « certains d’entre vous veulent » et pas « certains d’entre vous voulez » ?
Watching this as I'm considering moving from MTL to Montpellier (originally from Sheffield!). It's -20 here so I'm chuckling at your "nesh-ness". Comment peut-on traduire cela en français, hein. :-P
Never heard of nesh so je n'ai aucune idée de comment traduire ça haha!
I got too hot on my balcony yesterday in the direct sun :p.
Summer will be brutal
It must be Yorkshire then! Not sure how one would say it darn sarrrf. I believe the French would call you frileux!
@@labichetta Must be! As far as I know we don't have a word, at least not one as well known, as frileux to describe it!
👌j'aime la vitesse à laquelle vous parlez, J'ai remarqué que je dois encore améliorer mon vocabulaire, ça m’énerve 🥵
Ça veut dire que tu as regardé la vidéo entière. Je te remercie Ashley :).
Ah oui, c'est tellement frustrant d'avoir un vocabulaire limité !
Qu'est-ce que tu vas y faire ?
Subbed...My hope to be an expat in France one day
I hope so too! Thanks
Du centre ville et non pas de la centre ville.
Maïs on dit
Le centre de la ville.
Je apprends le français depuis 5 jours est ce bon ?
Très bon :)
So helpful even though I’m only two weeks in😂 thanks!
Haha. Great to know! Feels like a long time ago I did this vlog! Merci d'avoir regardé :)
A little slower would be good!
Thanks for the feedback!
