Note the dropping of "et" for 81 (quatre-vingt-un) and 91 (quatre-vingt-onze) -- just because. :/ If you think this is weird, try Danish; they start the 20s counting system at 50 instead of at 70. Drinking beer helps a lot.
i think it's not that weird when it comes to 80 and 90. actually it's a little math going on here. 4x20=80 ---> quatre (4) - vingts (20). 4x20+10=90 ---> quatre(4)-vingt(20)-dix(10). maybe it's just a funny coincidence :)
Quelle est la différence de prononciation entre "deuxième" et "douzième" ou entre "deux ans" et "douze ans?" Une bonne chose à propos des chiffres français: cette année, à l'occasion de mon anniversaire, j'arriverai à une nouvelle décennie en anglais, mais en français, je peux toujours dire que j'ai soixante-quelque chose ans!
soixante-dix is indeed "une nouvelle décennie"... (you add 10 to 60 !). Deuxième and douzième are so different ! that's 'eu' = 'e' and 'ou' absolutely not the same.
"Trois milliards cinq cent mille douze" s'écrit plutôt comme ça je pense: 3000500012. =) Et un billion c'est mille millions soit un milliard. Ah et pour finir j'adore tes vidéos Géraldine.
Good lesson, G! Be aware that in correct English (it's disappearing rapidly, though), 2018 is not "two thousand and eighteen." It's "two thousand eighteen." This video is helpful. For my students who are just trying to learn 1-100 at this time, this is a little much, but I think we'll stop at the 9-min mark. Merci mille fois!! Lori S in PA
May, I just ask because I´m puzzled for life :D. I always say "sAnk" as in cinq but I have heard some people say it more "sEnk" are both pronunciations correct? merci beaucoup pour votre aide!
no, they are not. they don´t sound the same as the vowels are different. I didn´t use the phonetical alphabet so it might be puzzling but you say "an" (un (AN) chat / en (AN) France) and "en" in l´ennemi or l´energie (, l´ENemi, l´ENerzhi)
And "cinq" is pronounce like "IN' (as in "vin, fin, pin, faim, pain, saint,..." ), not "AN" or "EN" (which are the same in french, like in "sans, sang, vent, lent,...").
"un" is NOT "an" : "un an" (one year or a year...) is not pronounce "an an". that's definely not the same sounds. and in the words ennemi or energie, that's not the diphtong "en", but "è"+ "n". A word with "en", is for instance, "entendre", or what i wrote earlier : vent, lent,...
The first few times I heard Québécois say the number 18 I was a little confused because it sounds like "dizz-vitt" instead of "deece-wheat" 😀 just a minor different with the dialect
Please could you do a video about Avec and A la/au... i still get confused. When does au mean with? i've seen a description of a model who is 'avec de longues jambes' but also 'aux longues jambes' and there's a mess of avec de, avec des for plurals. And is le fleuve aux grands eaux the river that goes to the big waters, or the river that is made up of big waters.. Anyway... when to use au/a la instead of 'avec'? Is it confusing or am i being dumb? Prepositions argh.
In first grade we used to say things like "was not, times googolplex!!" Then the other kid would say "were to, times googolplex plus one!!" To show how intensely we did or didn't do something.
Le français est très difficile. Peux-tu nous apprendre l'alphabet et comment prononcer les lettres en français? Por Favor LoL... sil vous plait. Knowing how to pronounce letters and combinations of letters will help us to read and speak more authentically.
I think some of the numbers in the video do not use a tirer. 21, 31, 41, 51, 61 and 71 does not have tirer. They are written with space between the words.
Miljan Arandjelovic Du coup, la question est : pourquoi on dit quatre-vingt-un alors que l'on dit soixante-et-un et même vingt-et-un ? Ça semble logique de dire quatre-vingt-et-un. ^^
Please try to look at the camera while recording the videos, I like your channel but when you keep glancing above the camera it gets kinda annoying! bisou bisou!
That is a bit petty. It is probably her notes or something to make sure she is covering all the material. I mean everyone has their opinions I guess...
„The x is silent because French is weird“ 😂 so good
You have a gift for teaching for sure.
1:40 In Italy we say the same "Il gioco vale la candela" ❤️
Oh my goodness. Géraldine made a subtle reference to «Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy» at 6:20. Clever teacher. :-)
And you notice the reference... Good ! :)... in french it's "Le guide du voyageur galactique".
Merci Thierry ;-)
thierryf67 En français je crois que le nom du livre c'est "Le Guide de voyageurs intergalactique" et non pas "galactique", mais je peux me tromper

thierryf67 Ah, mon mauvais
Wow, Geraldine. I've already learned more from your videos than I have with the study books (verbs, grammar, etc) I bought recently! Merci beaucoup!
Pretty similar with Spanish! Nice... love it!
You are very good! Merci infiniment!

I was told the reason why "ET" wasn't used when we get to Quatre-vingt is because E.T. went home in the eighties.😂😂😂
I love to watch your video, you are so elegant😊
Bonjour... is this where i should start? is this the correct playlist?
J'adore Geraldine.
Wow. French numbers are kind of weird. I'll learn them all.
i think it's not that weird when it comes to 80 and 90. actually it's a little math going on here. 4x20=80 ---> quatre (4) - vingts (20). 4x20+10=90 ---> quatre(4)-vingt(20)-dix(10). maybe it's just a funny coincidence :)

soixante-dix is indeed "une nouvelle décennie"... (you add 10 to 60 !).
Deuxième and douzième are so different ! that's 'eu' = 'e' and 'ou' absolutely not the same.
Quarante-deux :) Je crois que Geraldine a lu "Le Guide du voyageur galactique"...
French numbers have always baffled me lol!
"Trois milliards cinq cent mille douze" s'écrit plutôt comme ça je pense: 3000500012. =)
Et un billion c'est mille millions soit un milliard.
Ah et pour finir j'adore tes vidéos Géraldine.

Valerie Bee In french "an" and "en" is sayed exactly the same, so, what do you mean ?
no, they are not. they don´t sound the same as the vowels are different. I didn´t use the phonetical alphabet so it might be puzzling but you say "an" (un (AN) chat / en (AN) France) and "en" in l´ennemi or l´energie (, l´ENemi, l´ENerzhi)

thierryf67 That's what I was going to write
"un" is NOT "an" : "un an" (one year or a year...) is not pronounce "an an". that's definely not the same sounds.
and in the words ennemi or energie, that's not the diphtong "en", but "è"+ "n". A word with "en", is for instance, "entendre", or what i wrote earlier : vent, lent,...

I was in a bar in Aquitaine and heard a Swiss guy talking to a Belgian about how French numbers were weird.
I bet the Belgium guy must be sweating and hope that the Swiss guy does not find out quatre-vingts is retained in the Belgic numbers.
In first grade we used to say things like "was not, times googolplex!!" Then the other kid would say "were to, times googolplex plus one!!" To show how intensely we did or didn't do something.

7:40 - marijuana :P
42
I think some of the numbers in the video do not use a tirer.
21, 31, 41, 51, 61 and 71 does not have tirer. They are written with space between the words.
It could have been worse. Academie could have decided that 100 is cinq-vingts. (insert dramatic music)
The highest number I ever had to use was 420
Other languages: You will learn all the numbers within the first 10 pages of the textbook.
Quatre-vingts: Yoohoo, I am at page 70.
19 dis nuts
pour moi, les ans sont le plus difficile à parler en français !
Up until today, the biggest number I was able to remember was soixante-neuf. After 69 everything sounds illogical.
bonjour! 71 is soixante-et-onze and why not it is quatre-vingt-onze when saying 91. There is not the "et" between vingt and onze.
En outre, 81 s'écrit quatre-vingt-un, et non quatre-vingt-et-un. ;)
Because French is weird (as she said) ^^
Miljan Arandjelovic Du coup, la question est : pourquoi on dit quatre-vingt-un alors que l'on dit soixante-et-un et même vingt-et-un ? Ça semble logique de dire quatre-vingt-et-un. ^^
They must have thought "ok, this number already has enough words and hyphens, it's getting ridiculous, let's leave the et out of it"
Ki kori Parce que ça sonne pas bien
This is weird, it's like a math problem
Please try to look at the camera while recording the videos, I like your channel but when you keep glancing above the camera it gets kinda annoying! bisou bisou!
She is probably reading from a board above the camera and doesen't have an autocue as in TV newsrooms.
I know. I like her lessons a lot too. But it's kinda distracting. To me at least.
That is a bit petty. It is probably her notes or something to make sure she is covering all the material. I mean everyone has their opinions I guess...
Yeah. I'm not against any of you but it's just a bit distracting to me. Hehe.
