Notes I took during this lesson: L'alphabet en français (the French alphabet): A = pronounced "ah" B = pronounced "beh" C = pronounced "seh" D = pronounced "deh" E = pronounced "uh" F = pronounced "eff" G = pronounced "jheh" H = pronounced "ahsh" I = pronounced "ee" J = pronounced "ghee" K = pronounced "kah" L = pronounced "ell" M = pronounced "ehm" N = pronounced "ehn" O = pronounced "oh" P = pronounced "peh" Q = pronounced "koo" R = pronounced "ehr" S = pronounced "ess" T = pronounced "teh" U = pronounced "oo" V = pronounced "veh" W = pronounced "doo•bluh•veh" X = pronounced "eeks" Y = pronounced "ee•grehk" Z = pronounced "zehd" The French Vowels: A = "ah" E = "uh" I = "ee" O = "oh" U = "oo" Y = "ee•grehk" → (Oui, Y is a vowel in French!) Extras: Répétez après moi = Repeat after me Répétez encore une fois = Repeat once again Papa = Daddy Arbre = Tree
i know chinese, portuguese, spanish, english, korean and going back to learning french after 14 years, i can say with no doubt that french is the most difficult language ive encountered. Alexa makes is sound soooo easy, you are indeed an amazing teacher.
After looking many other videos to refresh the French Language after more than 50 years I learned it for the first time, I finally found you Alexa. I think you are and excellent teacher. I used to teach Spanish for English speakers with the same patterns, examples, comparisons, sense of humor etc. And they enjoyed so much. I thought I would ever find someone like you Alexa. This is the best way to learn any language, like a child. I am so glad you are giving us such a talent, experience, knowledge. "Tu est magnifique." Je suis tres content. Bravo👏 pour toi .Merci beacoup. Thank you so much.
I was listening to French President Macron’s speech today (here in the US) and was able to understand a few words after watching some of your videos. The French pronunciation of vowels is confusing but I’m determined to get this. Merci beaucoup for your videos! :)
The letter y is the Greeks i. So how I in French is pronounced like E in English, the y is *pronounced* E-grekt. Basically "Greek I". Correct me if I'm wrong
It's amazing how Spanish and French are so similar. Literally, the alphabet pronunciation is 95% equal in both languages. I know Spanish and English; French is very similar to both so I'm learning superfast with you Alexa. Thank you so much (Muchas gracias Alexa) :)
One of the most important lessons when learning new language is the alphabets and its pronunciation. This video really helped me a lot!! Thanks Alexa!! :)
Alexa your such a great teacher ....well I just want to learn french for fun and you make it eveb better. You teach like a mother I ALREADY MEMORIZE THE 1 -20 YESS!!! it's an achievement !!!!!
Thank you very much Alexa. You are a great teacher. I am learning with you. This is not too hard for me since I alredy speak Spanish and English. I hope soon I will speak French too. Greetings from Toronto, Canada.❤
Ill never get bored with it because you are a great teacher. Id laugh so hard in class just to make you feel good because I Appreciate everything that you are doing for me. Merci. 6 months in and I got my R almost down. French is not easy.
Err... very few things are pronounced the same way in Spanish (my first language) compared to French, if any. Just ask any French person what they think of the typical French accent of most Spaniards who take a shot at speaking French (and vice versa) to see what I mean.
Same! I know some Spanish I have been teaching myself it and learning what I can from the Internet and books but even the little bit of Spanish I learned from doing it as a hobbit has helped me 😑
Thank you Alexa!!! is it possible for you to make a playlist with a proper flow of lessons!!! It's just a bit difficult to find as there are so many videos...it's hard to be a english speaker in France but your videos are keeping me alive!!! Thank you.
This is the best and easy lesson to learn french specially we who our main language is Arabic. I need the basics of french after that I will start teaching french which will help me more and more. I am an english language teacher. from Sudan and I love french very much.
I'm starting to study french now and it amazes me how similar it is to portuguese (my first language)! Your videos are amazing, thank you so much for all you do!
I get confused because half the alphabet is pronounced like you would in Spanish and the rest like you would do so in English. I speak both languages. Great educational videos by the way.
Bonjour everyone, i just want to say i have been traying to study french for quite some time and always found it so hard but now with alexa it seems so easy love her attitude also would like bring up spanish is my main language im dominican when i was around 14 15 i started learning english by my own im 22 now, my point is when you know 2 languages its becomes way easier to learn a third one cuz you make bonds, links and get easier to associate certain words cuz some sound lile spanish and some others like english.
yes... i agree. My mother language is spanish but since i have american family they helped me speak english and now im learning french by my own. Knowing those two language really helps you with french
Not sure if you are still doing these videos. But you are sooooo great! Merci. Merci Beaucoup. You are a great teacher. I hope you realize how many people you have helped.
Learning French because I now live in Burgundy. I have always struggled with the pronunciation of E. Causes issue when spelling my name. Watched your video and I have it. Merci x
Thank you Alexa for such a wonderful teaching skill, i really enjoy listening to your videos, as a beginner i feel very comfortable with your teaching method, you can read the mind of your audience while you are teaching them, it is very important thanks again
Advice for learners :) As I learned the finger alphabet of the sign language I used a cone technique. I repeated one letter an than I added one everytime. Like A A B A B C A B C D A B C D E
As a Turkish person, pronouncing the letters E and U in Frenct is not hard for me. We have Ö and Ü letter that give the exact same sounds in Turkish alphabet :)
"Ok how was that? Ok?"that cracked me up, btw you have amazing content. I am a student taking French 1 and your videos provide me with that extra push or help that I need to come prepared for class!
“R” is not so easy for me to pronounce but I know I will soon get there. 💪🏽

A lot of them sounds like in spanish, makes it easier for me:)
Not at all!!! French is so difficult language
I thankful that i took Spanish because i would have a heck of a time pronouncing some of the words in french.
Err... very few things are pronounced the same way in Spanish (my first language) compared to French, if any. Just ask any French person what they think of the typical French accent of most Spaniards who take a shot at speaking French (and vice versa) to see what I mean.

No one:
French: Yigrekhe

It's not just in French. In all the romance languages it sounds more or less like that. In my mother tongue, for example, it's "ygrec"
In portuguese it is like "ypsylon"
In spanish y= igriega
Try german :)
