One of the most challenging aspects of learning the language. I know it can be so even for native speakers, but quadruple that for a non-native adult! #FrenchLesson #LearnFrenchWithAlexa
My first language was French. I struggled with it in first grad so they put me in English class and I loved it lol. Sooo easy compared to French. Mat, bat, sat, hat, fat, pat etc. They are like baby words. I was the best speller in class. I’m glad I still speak French, it’s a lovely language but I think eventually the world needs one universal language that everyone learns in school. English is the easiest so that’s the one it should be. In English it’s just drink or drank. In French, there are way more terms than she talked about here. She only named 2 types here. There are at least 2 to 4 more! French people need to change their language to make of simpler or it will be lost to English through simple evolution.
As a native English speaker, there’s no way it’s the easiest language! Spanish is easier, for example. And if it weren’t for the writing system, Chinese is much, much easier than English.
@GuidedWithLight You are right. English is more fluid and has changed over the years to become simpler in sentence structure. Other languages are beautiful, but English is good for practicality, since it is the economically dominant language all over the world.
If English were to become a world lingua franca/auxillary language, we'd need to change quite a bit of things. 1, fix the mess that is the English vowel system 2, revert English scholar changes to words such as "debt", where a B was added for Latin "debitum" 3, less irregular spelling, there is going to be confusion when people pronounce "hour" like "four" or "dough"/"rough"/"cough"/"thought"/"through"
Bonjour, c'est la première fois que je vois votre chaîne, et je vous ai suivi. Merci beaucoup, professeur. J'espère apprendre le français, si Dieu le veut.
My dearest Alexa! I truly appreciate your efforts.. could you please help me organize my lessons? I would like to use your channel to the optimum but I am not sure what sequence to follow. Please guide me. ❤
Simpily put for -ir verbs, if it ends with -oir or -voir (excluding the verb voir) you remove that, as well as, any vowels before it until you hit a consonant and then add -u. Although something to note, not all verbs may follow this and to note devoir = dû because du is already a word. As well as anytime that last consonant is a c, you make it a ç because c makes a kuh sound when next to a, o, or u. To make it a suh sound you add the tail but only for those 3 vowels, the rest by default make the suh sound without the tail.
Hi Alexa. Can you help me with three word ‘Expose. for example: i was exposed to the harsh weather because I slept outside. How is it said in French and how is it used in French sentences
There are 2 versions of the verb for expose; exposer and s'exposer. You would choose s'exposer. The reason being is that what you are doing is to yourself so you use a reflexive noun and reflexive verb. Je me suis exposé au mauvais temps car, je dormais dehors. Exposer means to expose another person/place/thing S'exposer means to expose oneself Do note for passé composé for exposer it is "a exposé" like "j'ai exposé", it uses avoir instead of être.
I don't know if am the only one feeling this way. I use to feel excited in learning the language, But all of a sudden am losing interest in it. I don't know if it's the state of mind I am in right now, or the bad situation I am facing is cursing it. I just lost interest completely
Lucky for you language doesn't go anywhere, you can always pause your learning to deal with whatever is happening in your life right now. The interest will pick itself back up someday.
Merci beucoup madamme Alexa !! One little request can u plz teach the negetive expressions in detail I've watched the other video of urs it was helpful in earlier classes and I used to love it but now in my syllabus the negetive expression have increased so....if u can make a new video including it other negetive expressions It would be really helpful MERCI!! >^-^
Learning 'theory' is way too difficult in many respects. People always say that the best way to learn a language is to live there and learn through daily subjection to it. Alexa talks about regular and irregular verbs, pronouns et al, but many viewers don't even know what these terms mean in their own language, never mind French. Rather than teach conjugation 5 different ways it may be more practical to teach only 3 and let French people use their discretion in determining what's being said/implied by a novice.
Why not just learn what a pronoun is? It's really not that hard. I'm getting sick of our lazy society where people want to "learn French with NO EFFORT" or " learn the guitar in 3 months" instead of just being discplined and applying oneself to a process that might take longer than the attention span of a goldfish. Minimal effort will get you minimal results. If anyone is interested in learning French without having to learn anything about grammar or linguistics, I'm sure there are other resources out there ("I came here to learn French! How dare you teach me what verbal conjugations and nominal declensions are??!!). For the rest of us, who might actually enjoy learning new things and broadening our horizon along the way, this channel is great.
Best teacher on the web
oui❤
It’s so good to see her active again!!
Thanks Alexa ,I've just started studying French in my old age Your methods and style have been very inspiring.
Merci! J'ai eu des problèmes avec les verbes irréguliers mais cela m'a aidé

@@octopus_72 Good points. Because English has word origins from various countries, there are tons of irregularities in spelling & pronunciation.
@@maxducoudray what the heck ?????????????????????????? l freaking don't understand on bit 🤣
Merci beaucoup pour la video🙂🙂🙂
Merci Alexa. J'apprends bien
I'm trying so hard to get this all into my head along with everything else about French📈📋📌. One day at a time.
Merci beaucoup...... Alexa 😊
Je vous en prie !
@@learnfrenchwithalexa Les français sont si polis 🤗
Bonjour, c'est la première fois que je vois votre chaîne, et je vous ai suivi. Merci beaucoup, professeur. J'espère apprendre le français, si Dieu le veut.
Been waiting on a good explanation thank you :)
Thanks for the video, but am finding it difficult to view the pdf in the description
Merci.
thank you.
I think the past participle for aller in the e-book is wrong, it says été but i think it should be allé
My dearest Alexa! I truly appreciate your efforts.. could you please help me organize my lessons? I would like to use your channel to the optimum but I am not sure what sequence to follow. Please guide me. ❤
Merci, belle amie.
So the U turns into OI under the influence of R. So vu is voir. Those seem more regular than expected.
Simpily put for -ir verbs, if it ends with -oir or -voir (excluding the verb voir) you remove that, as well as, any vowels before it until you hit a consonant and then add -u. Although something to note, not all verbs may follow this and to note devoir = dû because du is already a word.

So difficult
Mam l struggle to learn but l can't understand masculine and femininen
Bon Matin❤
Bonjour !
So, basically the conjugation of French irregular verbs are totally random and you just need memorize them. No point trying to make sense out of it 😅
Hi Alexa i need follow to you in live . wich day and woht time you start?
Hi there, next Tuesday (29 NOVEMBER 2022 @ 10.30AM GMT), I will shortly post the link on the community tab :)
