Thank you SO much for explaining that there are two different R sounds - a soft one and a harder one. As a French learner, I hear people say the R differently in different words and asked my teacher about it but she didn't understand what I was trying to convey. I was actually super confused on how to pronounce Paris! You finally answered my question and put my mind at ease. Thank you!
Bonjour Maïa, 😄 sa anecdote avec GD est très drôle ! Je pense comme vous, c'est plus important d'être capable de s'exprimer, même si on fait des erreurs. Merci ! 🙂🇫🇷
I think he’s a good example of someone who is at ease with the language without speaking it very well. I think that way he creates a good vibe for the audience, because they don’t feel any insecurity from him nor any pretentiousness. French don’t like that foreigners are pretentious with their language, they will do that themselves! (Joking, I don’t find the French pretentious, I like the “hautain” aspect of the language.) All in all, he strikes me as someone who has a good feel for French culture. The nuts and bolts of language is not everything.
Waouh! Je me suis déjà arreté au niveau du titre du vidéo. Je ne savais pas qu'on puisse dire "les progrès," car ça n'existe pas en anglais (i.e. "progresses" LOL). J'ai toujours utilisé "progrès" comme en anglais - "Il a fait du progrès." Oops, I just now saw you answered it below.
Because progrès is a countable noun. It's like we say in English "different sorts/kinds of progress". He made progress in speaking, in writing, in reading and listening comprehension, etc.

haha yeah I didn't think so many people would be commenting about the title haha glad you got to learn something new there :)
A lot if you are a beginner, less and less as you become more and more advanced.
5:19 En anglais cela s'écrit comme ça: "address" avec deux "d".
Moi je trouve son accent plutôt bien ! Moi qui ai passé beaucoup de cours de prononciation
oui c'est vraiment pas mal du tout :)
❤️❤️

No sabía que él hablaba francés.
Ce n'est pas seulement lui qui parle anglais lentement, l'anglais c'est une langue qui se parle assez lentement.
Should it not be son progrès instead of ses?
no it's plural :)
for example we also say "faire des progrès"
why is it "ses progrès" and not "son progrès"?
Because progrès is a countable noun. It's like we say in English "different sorts/kinds of progress". He made progress in speaking, in writing, in reading and listening comprehension, etc.
Thanks @CyrusChang, that's it.
It's often plural, that's why we say "faire des progrès" - to make progress
@StreetFrench 😀🙏
Je peux mieux te comprendre que John Malkovich. Il est difficile à comprendre. Tu me parles beaucoup plus clairement.
