My Story (get to know me): • Watch if you just grad...
I am constantly getting questions from you guys about my French learning experience. How I learned, how long it took to feel comfortable with the language, what resources I used etc.
I know my French is not perfect in this video but I did try my best hehe and everyday counts as further development to the learning process.
If you guys have been considering or just started your journey with picking up a new language I hope this video gives you the motivation you need. I know it can feel discouraging at times but stick with it and I promise that with loads of practice and consistency you will get there.
bisous and see u in the next vid

Salut all French Learners! Since this video has been getting a bit of traction lately i've decided to let all of YOU guys know that I am currently holding one on one sessions so that we can all practice our French together. I do conversational sessions for those who are just starting out with French (beginners) all the way to higher intermediate. If this is something you'd like to get more details on, send me an email me at frenchwithcecily@gmail.com À bientot! -Cecily
Bruh I’m fr chillin at 5am and looked up how to learn French
Yall be funny out here in the comment section lol
Lol same
PHAHAH SAMMMEEE
Same lmaoo
@@minazoric4627 isto 😂
I could understand most of what you said .iv been learning in a loose sort of way for 8 months . I think im Lower intermediate level. It's much easier to understand foreigner speaking French than a French person speaking French
I completely agree. I live in France. I speak poorly, but I actually think native English speakers speaking French are much, much easier to understand. I have some friends who are French that I understand quite well now, but I still regularly* struggle to understand most people without 3-4 attempts.
@@learnenglishwithrichard8175 that's probably because native French speakers tend to speak like a non-stop word, they don't have clear intervals among words, which generates long and awkward clusters.
Intonation during the speech is very different.
@@drjp4212 I think you are right that they seem to mash a lot of sounds together... I have noticed some very specific reasons for this that I actually found very interesting to ponder. I would actually like to explain sometime in a video when I get chance. French is a beautiful language though, I would say to everyone here it is really worth learning.
@@learnenglishwithrichard8175 I'm Brazilian, and as a Portuguese native speaker, it's easier to understand Spanish from Mexico than understanding Portuguese from Portugal, because Europeans tend to speak that way, with very little tones transitions coupled with a lot of smashed together sounds.
It just takes some time to get used, though.
French is the least Latin of all the Romance languages, but I already have a lot of common etymologically derived words, even though the phonetic system is very strange compared to Latin/Italian/Spanish/Portuguese.
@@drjp4212 Thank you for taking the time to tell me this; it was very interesting. I hope to improve, and I feel confident I have made progress, which is my key aim each day. I would politely disagree that there is little variation in tones in English, however, I would agree that we often use 'choice of word' rather than 'choice of tone' to express ourselves in the way we want to. There are many subtleties to these choices of words that someone could learn, but they would not be immediately obvious to a non-native speaker. There are many words that have connotations that exist outside of their definitions, because of the context that they most appear in. Thank you once again for your information. Take care.
i would love a video with you and Damon Dominique in french
me too girl me tooooo!
Don’t forget purple palace
@@oliviairielle4563 I would never
@@CecilysPerspective lmao why ?
@@mochipeachxo she means like she would never forget her ahahah
Not me reading the subtitles when French is my first language (btw your accent is so great)
It's always like that, even if you know that language, but there is subtitle, your eyes will focus on that subtitle.
Tu maîtrises très bien le "r" ce qui est rare.
Mais ton accent est très surprenant parce qu'il ne sonne pas du tout américain.
Si tu n'avais pas dit d'où tu venais, je n'aurais jamais deviné.
Merci c gentil :) ça me donne confiance!

@@larina2088 I was honestly looking for a "translate from French" button
@@rosietorres lol like I wanna learn french like its beautiful. But idk what they were evin sayin
@@larina2088 same! I just started learning today and it confuses me a lot
Haha the moment you started talking I knew you learned French in France. You make little mistakes here and there but your accent is impeccable! Living in the country really is the best way to learn the language.
I've just realized that the word 'the people" in French sounds like my name haha.
"les gens" in French haha
Your name is Leigh-Jean, right?
@@solinesage1588 yes hahaha
YOU MADE MY DAY W THIS! HAHAH
Jajajajaja
HAHAHA j'en peux pluuuuus
We say "la langue française" because it is feminin
I also speak a little French but it's quite hard
@@gagsku5366 to say “la langue française”? Feminin and masculine are very important in French but you’ve got this!
Oh i like how ur voice changes between french and english it's the cutest thing for real .. btw i really like how u sound in french we can't tell that u come from usa
your French accent is amazing. It's often said to be harder for Americans but you nailed it. Love the videos :)
i speak arabic and english and i’m struggling to learn french 😭 this vid motivated me so much! SUBBED 💜
Yes you bilingual queen! You got this, just always remember consistency is key! Wishing you luck
whoa if you don’t mind me asking where are you from? I’m from Lebanon where french-english-arabic are the default languages and I speak french and english (sadly never learned arabic bc I went to an American school lol I’m always really impressed by people who speak it)
@@trashcan8887 I speak arabic , since its my first language! I got so happy when I read this comment:) arabic take time because alot of people say its hard , since there are alot of words and the spelling is kinda 😅 hard I would say to some people , but try to search up “how to learn arabic for beginners “ you’re welcome 💗 :)
@@trashcan8887 i’m from Lebanon too but I can only speak english and arabic 🥲 i want to learn french so bad tho
@@CecilysPerspective bravo franchement le français c'est dur
Je suis française et j'apprends le français tous les jours car en réalité, nous les français, ne savons pas parler notre propre langue.. C'est véridique !! Alors vous voyez vous avez énormément de mérite :) félicitations !
Hell yeah i hope to one day be as fluent as you!
Tu parles super bien Français !
On dit "J'ai deménagé" et pas "Je me suis déménagée"
Ha oueh mdr j'avais remarquer aussi immagine tu te demmenage toi meme sa n'a pas de sense
Wow. Parler français comme toi, sans avoir à penser aux prochains mots que je veux dire, c'est mon but.
Tu vas arriver, j'en suis sûr il faut juste que tu sois consistent! bon courage
Moi je parle français mieux qu’elle
@@francoisvignac3154 tant mieux pour toi
@@francoisvignac3154 bravo tu dois être fière
Un peut normal chutait fr mdrr
Hey, I really enjoyed your video. It gave me the confidence i needed. I'm sixteen and i want to move to France for university. I did my research and now all i need is to learn French in that two years. I was so happy that i could understand your sentences :) Btw, i'm Turkish so i might have some mistakes in this comment. Keep up the good work!!!
your english was perfect and good luck I'm sure you will do great in France :) I'm 15, learn French at school every day and want to do something similar to you :) (I live in England so I'm not very far from France) you can do this!! You will have times were you don't feel confident but trust yourself and you will do amazing. I recommend channels like InnerFrench (he is really good to learn from besides this girl's channel obviously) if you want to improve your French faster :)
@@isabellaaslam9372 awww thank you for your nice comment. i wish that we can make our dreams come true. also, i've been in england last year and it was such a dream for me... one day, after i graduate or when i'm at uni, i will go there again hehe.
I have the same dream. I'm learning French now. Hope I can speak it fluent one day!
@@daybella8119 yes I’m 16 and I really want to learn but I don’t know how or where to start
@@mkvix7613 it may not be for everybody, but have you tried duolingo? itll teach you the basic words and grammar, and it provides audio and stories to improve your cmprehension and vocab
My mom is half french, im so proud of her
You speak so naturally the language 😭 I’m learning French as well, could you recommend other French youtubers to practice my listening skills? 🥺
Salut
Language Lords posted a video! I highly recommend his french video series
My ex was also the one who got me super into learning French lmao. Funny thing is I’m learning it while studying abroad here in the US
Im a floridian too! I also want to live in France one day so im trying to learn french
hello!!! Je suis Française (et par la même occasion Au Pair en Angleterre pour y apprendre l'anglais) ; je viens de tomber sur ta vidéo, et je tenais seulement à te dire que tu as de quoi être fière de toi, la langue Française est bien plus compliquée à apprendre qu'elle n'en a l'air, particulièrement quand ce n'est pas la langue natale!!!
Salut
you’re so amazing! i’m learning french, because my trip to paris in april, 2019, was so inspiring and beautiful to me. i want to study abroad in france, and study botany! my goal is to live in france one day. Do you ever get lonely in France or have you made friends and been okay?
Lucy we will welcome you with pleasure in France
Greeting from Paris :)
Bonjour!
How can i find language partners?
Hi it’s so cool to hear you speaking French! You French is sooooo amazing, I’ve been in a full French school for 7 years and we don’t really appreciate the language because
We’re always told to speak French and we get tired of it so we speak English the second a teacher leaves😂 but I think I started learning French in 1 grade!
As an Italian who lives in France for a while it was not pretty hard to learn French but English is way harder for us I've seen that you're pronunciation is very good keep the great work 👏
wait, I thought Italian was the closest language to French.
@@maxhope7691 yup I wrote that for me it's okay to learn french but for anglophone people Ig it's really tough
c’est vraiment bien, ta prononciation est vraiment bien ! Bravo 🇫🇷✨
you are extremely fluent in french!!! i aspire to speak like you
i wanna learn french i’m already good at english and spanish and i’m only 16 by the time i’m 25 i wanna know how to speak at least 4 or 5 languages
okay okay I understood almost the whole video and I've been learning french for 6 years now and I always fail my french listening test so i'm pretty proud of myself :)
Ah I loved this video!! Your personality is amazing and you motivate me so much with my language learning!! Could you possibly do some more daily/weekly vlogs once you’re settled with your new job? I always find yours so fun to watch✨
Thank you for motivating me. I really like your videos!😍
That's honestly my #1 goal with these videos :') Motivating others to go after exactly what they want
You can speak so well in French! Well done :)
The French tend to correct people who make mistakes in French, regardless of whether we're correcting a French person or a foreigner. Native French speakers correct both the mistakes of natives and non-native speakers. I think it's just something cultural
Yes I'm french and it's because even us still keep making mistakes in our onw language so we always correct each other (even if we find that anoying sometimes lol)
Sorry for my english...
I'm learning French because I really love how it sounds and feels and I've been using Drops to widen my vocabulary)
Tu parles très bien français, bravo c’est une langue difficile.
Oui moi j’arrivé en France depuis 14/02/2020 and I know French half
Bravo! Ton français est impeccable!
Please do more videos speaking in french- this was so good to practice listening! X
She is absolutely ADORABLE ❤!
Two years? Very nice French! I hope I can get to your level too, someday! 😍
Good luck this new year
super vidéo , de mon coté je fais l'inverse je suis un français qui apprend l'anglais ! merci pour cette vidéo !
I just started learning french and I’m only 11 m
I’m 14 trying to learn it and you’ll improve 💕
@@axlewy8649 ayee fellow 14 year old learning french here! Hi! 😅😂
I'm trying to improve my english I'm 14 yo (and french)
You are my idol. I hope one day to be as fluent in French as you. just got a beginners French book and starting my journey. Wish me luck!
You got this! Always remember consistency is key, somedays you are not going to feel like studying but try to remind yourself of your end goal and where you imagine yourself being in a year or even two! Hard work definitely pays off! Keep these things in mind and you will be 100% capable of your language learning goals
sending you lots of positive vibes!
Bisous
-Cecily
wooow j'adore, ton français est beaucoup trop cute, même ton "r" est parfait~~
I need to learn French so I can communicate with my dads family, as I’m gonna go college in France next year
I'm learning english and french so thanks for this video , I can practice both in the same time with this.
your accent is so cute 🥰 you're doing great!! i'm super impressed by your french
Honestly I would love to get the chance to live in France and learn the language faster that way! I’m a first year taking intermediate level French, and while I can understand everything you’re saying the second you start hearing Quebecois or Francophonies speak the learning really does not stop. I’m in Canada so learning the Quebec accent can be difficult
I’m French ! It’s a pleasure to see people who don’t hate us 😭we are not mean fr and no we don’t hate you american people 💕
People should stop generalizing/stereotyping people from other countries
@@coastalbeaches7181 hey,which level are u!?
tu parles super bien le français ! Bravo ma belle :)
This video is reviving my energy to learn French, I have been in Paris almost a year but still can't speak well, I subbed for ya,merci beaucoup.
I've been trying to learn French for many months through Duolingo and a few other sources. I honestly come to the conclusion, I'll never be fluent. I'd be more than happy if I get to a level where I could comfortably read French childrens books.
J'ai adoré la manière dont tu arrives à complexifier ton langage
I never thought you could properly learn a language with DuoLingo. Félicitations
You can’t. She didn’t say she learnt there. It helps but trust me not much at all.
you can start off with it. thats what i've been doing for 9 months and it certainly helps a lot. of course, later on you have to add on your own pereferable sources of learning material which will essentially guarantee you a quick path to fluency
You've had a wonderful experience. I wonder how many people will learn a language via the internet now and never enjoy what you have. Easier now than ever before to pick up languages, just as many get college degrees from home.
Oh la la j’adore ton accent! Bravo c’est top!
Only two years ? That’s great ! French is a difficult language
Génial. Ton Francais est vraiment génial. Qu'est-ce que tu trouves le plus difficile avec la langue Francaise?
Boricua en París! So happy to have found your page. Yo soy puertorriqueña también y vivo en España. Aprendiendo francés porque sí. Jeje
You speak very well,I speak Portuguese,English,and Spanish,now I'm trying so hard french😭this motivated me queen thanks
It will be incredibly easy for you, as you’ve already learned Spanish. As a French speaker, I can have a conversation with someone who speaks Spanish without much difficulty, as the languages are extremely similar. You got this!!
@@Jojo-hy8dm NOOOO they are not similar at alll
@@jasmineclear878 they most certainly are. They’re both Latin based languages, both with similar structures, and many words are the same. Trust me when I say that French speakers pick up Spanish quite quickly, and vice versa.
@@Jojo-hy8dm bruh i'm spanish speaking and i'm trying to learn french and both languages are nothing like.
@@jasmineclear878 must be just you then because they really are similar
Hey ! I am french and I think that it must be complicated to learn it when you are not french ! Good job !
I don't speak french, but sah quel plaisir
please make more French videos they are so helpful!!
Noted :) goodluck to you !
J'ai vraiment besoin d'étudier le français plus souvent- quand j'essaie de parler en français... j'oublierai tout ce que je sais mdrrr. Merci pour ta vidéo. C'est tout à fait inspirante.
Surely it's "le francais" or "la langue francaise," right?
Yes, you can say both
People always make reference in-general to how french sounding Judy Foster sounds when she speaks french, but you have honestly passed her out in that regard. !.. You accent and the intonation of your voice is pitch perfect, and once again your accent for a non - nativespesker is nothing more than excellent and a cut above the rest !
Thanks girl you really encouraged me.God loves you
I'm also an American in Paris (about to be moving out of Paris though). Your French is amazing! I've been here and learning French less than a year and I am nowhere near your level. Congrats on getting that job!
Hey there! Where are you off to on your next adventure, and how do you feel about leaving Paris? also thanks for congratulating me on my new job, my first shift went great!
@@CecilysPerspective I'm moving to the western coast of France! To be honest, I'm not much of a big city person so I'm not too beat up about leaving. I will be coming back often though! Great your job is starting up well!
I am french and i look this video because i was curious😂 you French is so good
I found this video really helpful & interesting! I am currently learning French too and I made a video attempting to only speak French for a day I (on my channel) and would love your thoughts. I’m planning on moving to France soon but sometimes I hear people say that they’ve lived in France for years and are only beginner still which shocks me but you’ve given back my confidence that living there will be the way! 🇫🇷🇫🇷🌟🌟
Salut
Hi Cecily! I’ve been studying French for a while now into college, and I’m super interested in your new job at the bilingual school! Is there anyway I could hear more about that and how you got the job or talk to you about it? :))
Je suis française et franchement je suis étonné que tu parles aussi bien le français et j’avoue c’est une langue quand même difficile à apprendre donc bravoooo
It was very glad to c ur video n really inspired that you speak very good français in a very short period of time... 🎩 off
Wow quand tu parles on dirait vraiment une française, franchement bravo parce-que notre langue n'est pas simple, même nous on a parfois tendance à mal formuler nos phrases et faire des fautes d'orthographes.
Je suis française, tu te débrouilles super bien même ton accent est top ! Ça doit pas être simple d’apprendre la langue la plus dure du monde de comme ça, même pour nous c’est dur 😅
Ce n'est absolument pas la langue la plus dure du monde. Prenons l'Islandais, le Cherokee ou le Japonais par exemple.
Oui je suis d’accord, le français est dur à apprendre (surtout pour les gens qui ne parlent pas encore de langues romanes) mais c’est sûrement pas la langue la plus difficile au monde, même pas en Europe. Bien sûr que ça dépend toujours de la personne qui l’apprend et des autres langues que parle cette personne, mais objectivement le français est une langue relativement simple et claire à apprendre: votre prononciation suit des règles avec très peu d’exceptions (pas comme en anglais), il n’y a pas de différents cas/déclinaison des noms (ce qui est le cas en allemand), vous avez tendance à relier plusieurs mots par des préposition (salle de bain, machine à laver...) plutôt que de créer de nouveaux mots hyper longs et incompréhensibles (ce qui donne moins de mots à apprendre et des mots qui sont plus courts) et vous avez un ordre de mot obligatoire (sujet - verbe - objet) qui facilite largement la compréhension et aussi la production des phrases. Je m’y connais pas trop avec les autres langues car je parle qu’allemand et anglais mais si on regarde sur Internet apparemment la langue qui est considérée la plus difficile en Europe c’est l’hongrois. Donc pour faire court: Chaque langue a ses challenges :)
@@gabii8403 j’apprends le japonais à part l’écriture c’est giga simple et logique quand je dis langue « la plus dure du monde » j’extrapole parce que y’a pleins de règles etc...
@@maries.5587 oui je m’en doute apres j’extrapole y’a sûrement plus dur c’est juste que y’a énormément de règles étrange en français quand on y pense fin bref
Omg u seem like such a nice chill person! I always wanted to learn French and learn about their culture! Also I’m Puerto Rican so when I heard ur parents are Puerto Rican I got excited lol 🤣 anyways I just subscribed and I cant wait to see more of your content
I'm a Frenchman and I think you're doing very well, with mistakes, but it's fine, keep going like this
Je suis français et tu parle très bien français 👏👏
Hi! You know I was chilling and I say: Why everyone want to speak English and not french? So I try to see if english people try to learn french and I saw you!
Je pense que tu t'es amélioré de où j'écris vu que ça fait 8 mois mais bon j'espère que c'est pas trop grave 😅 ( personnellement j'apprends l'anglais) et je trouve que 8 mois avant tu maîtrisais très bien donc j'imagine que t'es maintenant tu sais carrément parler français !
En tant que français je peux te dire que tu parle super bien français
Vous parlez le francais tres bien, bonne chance.
Omg I remember you now you know how to speak French so good 😘🇲🇫
Ton accent est tellement bon, wow ;)
I speak english spanish and greek im doing french in high school rn (im a freshman) and i wanna study in france so i want to try learn the language independently because my school literally doesn't teach me anything
effectivement la langue française est très dure de plus il y a des accents
La langue française es une langue très très compliquer âpres je ne veux pas te décourager
Je trouve que tu parle ultra bien le français c'est fou comment tu a appris tout sa
J'espère être aussi bon que toi, ton français est magnifique! J'apprends le français au collège, c'est un peu difficile mais vidéos comme vôtre sont très utiles
C’est vraiment sympa merci beaucoup! Bonne courage à toi et je préviens de faire plus de vidéo comme cela :)
wow ur accent is pretty good!
'' have an amazing day '', heureusement qu'il existe la langue américaine pour que l'on entende ce genre de trucs. Merci à vous, Mademoiselle.
u speak French very well !! I wanna speak English fluently like you speak French haha thats my ✨goal✨
Fluent English speaker trying to learn french. How much years it would take to be fluent in French?
@@uveSh88 Oh, I really don't know, bc French is very a difficult language so you have to be motivate for learning....But if you work everyday (I think) it would take 1 year
@@solennesika yeah , I can speak English, Urdu and Hindi but I have never experienced the kind of pronunciation like French.
@@uveSh88 ohh lucky I wanna be fluent in others languages too, but yeah why not learning French ?
I’m learning because my cousin is French and I want to fit in with her friends :)
Please make more videos in french!
noted! :)
Have a great day

podrias hacer mas videos hablando frances por favor.
Très bonne vidéo!
Je trouve que tu parles super bien mais il y a certain mot dans tes phrases dont tu n’as pas besoin comme « je parle en français » on le dit plutôt « je parle francais » pas dans toutes les phrases car dans certaines çà donne un sens différent à la phrase
Yo solo hablo español y inglés, ahorita estoy prendiendo francés y unas palabras como “Je suis” o otras más palabras son muy familiar con el español
La única cosa que es difícil para mi es el acento 😔
wow tu parles tres bien pour une americaine tres impressionant :)
VERY Good! ❤️
Ouaw c'est super bravo c'est pas une langue facile !
hi, i'm french and idk why i'm looking to people who learned french
