I wish all French people were speaking like this.

[@casanova5826]

me too😭😭

[@tonywu3209]

puis, ce sera pas agreable et pas possible dans la conversation reelle, imaginer tu dire en anglais "I......wish......all......French.....people.....were.....speaking....like...this" lol

[@hirotana5382]

C'est ça

[@user-rz5jl3ex3b]

I was about say exactly what you left the comment here

[@infidele3871]

You mean artificial and slow? Where’s the beauty in that?

[@titteryenot4524]

Here’s the thing with French (and I say this as a non-native fluent French-speaker): much of it is about speed. As a Brit who speaks fluent French, Spanish and Italian, the best way I can describe French vis-a-vis Spanish and Italian is that it’s ‘slippery’. With Spanish and Italian, you’re on solid ground in that when you read it, it’s literally ‘say what you see’. With French, you see so much on the page and so much of it just isn’t pronounced. ‘-ent’, ‘-ais’, ‘-aient’, ‘-ions’, ‘-iez’ etc. However, because so many of these different verb endings are repeated, it’s not too difficult to pick up with a little effort. When they are spoken at about 75% of the average speed, they are not that difficult. The liaison thing also adds to French’s ‘slipperiness’, but, again, it all depends on the speed of the French speaker. You can have a passage read by 2 people at different speeds (x1 & x0.75) and with the faster speaker you may get very little, but when it’s slowed down all becomes clear! As here, with the constantly delightful Judith and Hélène!

[@electroguitar]

Great explanation. French is almost “whispery”. As I told my French tutor the other day on italki, when the French speak, it’s almost like they are just grazing the word lol

[@titteryenot4524]

@@electroguitar Lovely way of putting it! 👍

[@thisisone9529]

100%. Another issue for those picking up the language and trying to listen to speech is that the nuance between many ending sounds is very delicate, resulting in many words sounding like other words, and so context plays a supremely important role in determining meaning. This is to say nothing of the role of slang, where je ne sais pas, becomes j'en sais pas due to overactive liaison, which becomes jsais (chez) pas due to slang. This built-in mechanism of French makes it largely inaccessible to the listener for quite some time, unless you find a willing participant who will actively slow down their speech to assist as these two are doing.

[@titteryenot4524]

@@thisisone9529 Yup! It’s simultaneously a boon/bane that there are so many similar sounds as that makes fewer to learn. It’s also a bane because if you’re not hot on working out context, it can be tricky! However, given the relative lack of personal pronoun use, the context thing is even trickier with Spanish/Italian: trust me!

[@infidele3871]

It’s not speed or liaison (most languages have it) - the reason some people don’t understand spoken French is because they haven’t listened enough to real spoken French.

[@Piper-fh2ho]

The conversation is very natural but slow - this is exactly what I want. "Du coup", "quand même", French people use these words all the time but I didn't quite know how to use them. Thank you Judith and Hélène for creating great videos ❤

[@dmchez]

I’d love to see more like this. Typical conversations that are slowed down

[@mirzamuntasir9408]

The slow conversation is really very helpful for people like me: English-speakers who are trying to learn French.
The shortness of the video is also another helpful factor because it's very easy to retain attention for 7/8 minutes as compared to videos that are longer. And last but not the least, the subtitles.
This channel, Française Avec Nelly and French Mornings With Elisa are the three TH-cam channels I like best and find most beneficial.
Thanks a ton from Thunder Bay, Canada!

[@terriyang2861]

That cup of coffee and the sound of ambulance in the background brings me back to Paris.

You are so patiently speak slowly that we French learner can follow and enjoy. Thanks to the slow speed, I can understand the conversation and feel that I’m learning. I enjoyed the video because I can follow it. Thank you so much for making such videos like this one. I gave you a “thumb up” and subscribed! You are greatly appreciated!
