Sounds like "dans" translates better as "I will leave for the office within 20 minutes." or "I am inside the house.", "The cat is inside the box." --Beginner French
Grace Njoku Je suis chez Mario = I'm in Mario's house. Estoy en la casa de Mario. It doesn't mean home. It means 's house. Or in Spanish en casa de. EN casa de. That's why I included it
This work is so helpful. I think that if people keep recording language lessons like this, setting an access to it available for beginners across the globe,it'll ever bring miraclous results, you know.. At least that's what i believe. She's also a good english accent, and speaks slowly as all decent teachers should do, so that people can learn in a easier way. It's even better when we have to study both two languages spoken here. Then, thanks.
I cant express how thankful I am for being your "student", Alexa. You are so quite careful and absolutely teaching us from the bottom of your heart. I don't know why but I can feel it clearly, and again, from far far away I am sending to you my love. Thank Alexa.
I love the complexity that the French language has. In my opinion it is one of the more innovative languages from the Romance family. From the ne.. pas..., to the specific nuances of dans/en or the partitive articles, liaisons, elisions. The unique Pronouns Y and En that have no immediate parallels in other Romance languages to my knowledge.
The way you explain is incredibly good , Everything is way easier to learn when you explain it , thank you for taking your time to do such a great videos Alexa!!
Alexa - love your energy, your clear, easy to understand and concise explanations. You have been of great help for me in learning correct French pronounciation of words.
you're the best Alexa. Thanks for the videos. I would be so grateful if you could introduce some simple French songs or movies for more practice with authentic materials.
Hiiiii I had noo idea you still do videos!! Two years ago started teaching my kids some french and your videos were sooooooo helpful!! Thank you!! You are amazing!!! Bisou bisou!!😘😘MERCI BEAUCOUP!!
Alexa for sure i had tried to learn french before but it didn't work out and this time with your great help am going to make it. thank you so much for your devotion
Excellent! In the examples, 'The chat...' should be 'Le chat...' I find your posts interesting and intellectually stimulating. I share your TH-cam with my learners. More power to you, Alexa! Bonne journée!
I've been trying to learn French ... but turned deaf the moment the sounds hit my ears. For the first time I'm getting the feeling that perhaps, maybe, who knows, I'll be able to learn it after all. Many many thanks Alexa. With warm regards from a chilly Belgium!
When you are a native romance language speaker so your native language already has two perfect counterparts for both dans and en thus you don't have to waste time
Bonjour madame! J'aime beaucoup votre leçons ! For those who speak Spanish this is actually easy, cause we have to think only our Spanish equivalent "dentro de" and then we'll see the difference between them. "Yo iré a trabajar DENTRO DE 20 minutos" "Los niños juegan DENTRO DEL jardín" and so on. Bisou bisou!
In the case of Dan's....you took one eg " je vais au dans 20 minutes"...the translation will be " I go to the office in 20 minutes". For future sentence " irai " should be used mam
I know you're not a fan of saying French has a present participle (-ing form in English), Alexa, but everything I read in French uses "en -ant." For example, my dictionary has the following example listed under "en": _En _*_faisant_*_ un effort_ _By _*_making_*_ an effort_ Continuing your statement about _en_ sometimes translating to _by_ in English, it's commonly written to modify a participle.
That's why I mentioned it here. However, the "-ant" form of verbs is used all over the place without the "en" in front - from _Alice Détective_ (1970's translations of _Nancy Drew_ in French) to current monthly journals. It's listed at the top of every verb listing in _501 French Verbs,_ as well.
Euh... J'apprends toujours le francais mais quand je vois le mot "dans", je pense... "In/within/during/inside comme les choix". Une leçon trop cool! Merci!
Salut! I started to learn French a few days ago. It is harder than English, I am Brazilian and French sounds a little bit of Portuguese. For example, dans = dentro. Merci.
Bonjour Alexa! Many thanks for this video, it has helped clear up a lot of my confusion about ‘en’ and ‘dans’. I have a question though. In a previous video (DEPUIS or PENDANT? How to say SINCE and FOR in French), you used the sentence “Hélène habite à Paris depuis 2005.” I’m wondering, would it be correct to say “Hélène habite EN Paris depuis 2005.”? If not, could you please explain why “à” is required in that sentence? Merci beaucoup!
So basically dans is straight forward.and á is laybacked. But dans cannot be translated in somthing else then only in. And á can translate into by and in etc. Thanks for learning me a new thing. In like 2 hours my french teacher will come so i gotta prepare. And plus i have an exam in a few days. Kinda nervous
I have noted that a little mistake was made in the last sentence where instead of the French article for the cat the English "The" was written!!! Just to note! 😊👍👍👌🇫🇷 🇬🇧 ❤🙏 Thank you....
Yes thank you, we know here at LFWA but by the time the video was posted it was too late. Unfortunately you can not remove a video on TH-cam and keep the numbers of views.
Merci pour ce lecon Alexa. I have been struggling with the word IN for a long time, Now I know that EN is used when you want to say things like, in time, or in transit, or in love. Whereas DANS is used when you are talking about actually INSIDE something, like an airplane or a shop, or in your house. Have I got this right?
Je lis en le francaise, merci au ma proffeseur. As you see, I'm still rough around the edges with french, so thanks for your tidbit. I want to watch french videos that are clean and all french. Know any?
Bonjour! I really like your videos. Just curious, do I detect like a different accent when you talk in English? Like a German accent or something else? Thanks! I love accents and now I'm starting to really love learning languages especially French!! :)
If you can substitute the word "inside" or "within" for "in'" then you can use the word "dans". Le chat est dans la boite. The cat is inside the box. Je vais au bureau dans cinq minutes. I am going to the office within five minutes. What would be the difference between "Je suis en classe" and "Je suis dans la classe"?
"Je suis dans la classe"? is the physical position. You are inside the classroom. But 'en classe' you are busy being in the process of learning. So more like 'I doing a class'.
No because the fact that it indicates the future is already implied by the "in 20 minutes" so you don't need to conjugate the verb for the future. Also another thing is that other european languages tend not to use the future tense as much as we do in english as they can just use time to tell you its in the future. It might be a bit confusing but don't always try to equivocate everything to how english works,you just have to learn how they do it.
Sounds like "dans" translates better as "I will leave for the office within 20 minutes." or "I am inside the house.", "The cat is inside the box." --Beginner French
actually, the way you teach French is very outstanding and it attracts anyone interested in learning French. Thank you very much for your effort.
Truly amazing videos
exactement
In this case, Spanish is easier than English and French
English: in, on, at
French: en, dans, à, chez
Spanish: en
I wanna die xD
Mau Pr chez means home? Sooo
Grace Njoku Je suis chez Mario = I'm in Mario's house. Estoy en la casa de Mario. It doesn't mean home. It means 's house. Or in Spanish en casa de. EN casa de. That's why I included it
Sign language is better 🖕
dwr1982 Maybe. I don't speak it xD
same in Portuguese; all of them translate to "em"
c'était impossible sans toi d'apprendre le français....
thnx for teaching me
You are the best French teacher and you make everything so comprehensive and clear. Merci beaucoup Alexa!

This is the best French learning channel. Thank you for your thoroughness and clarity, Alexa!
Finally someone clarifies me this I've asked both my parents that speak perfect French but none of them could explain me this. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much i asked my french teacher how could we tell the difference -she didn't have a way to explain it-this was excellent!!!
I 've learned Dans and En for a longtime. Now. it makes me clearly. Merci beaucoup, Alexa.

Thank you for teaching us French in a very simple and effective way.
Excellent! I not only understood the difference, I think I'll remember when to use "en" and when, "dans."
You are a good teacher.
Merci, Alexa! Your vids address some of the sticky questions for learners of the French langauge.
When you are a native romance language speaker so your native language already has two perfect counterparts for both dans and en thus you don't have to waste time

Very useful videos thanks to Alexa
So helpful! Thank you, Alexa!
Best in the planet. You are a blessing for English speakers
"Je vais au bureau dans 20 minutes."
In this example, why there is no article before bureau?
Bonjour 'au' is technically 'à le' : the article is within this preposition 'au' as we can not say 'à le'. :)
@@learnfrenchwithalexa is that why "a l'école" works, "a le école" because you can't contract au to the e in école?
Wonderful explanation Alexa, i cant wait to have the access to your website.
HAPPY NEW YEAR ALEXA. You helped so buch. Many more blessings to you
Thsnk you a lot ...
Im a little confused with "dans l'office" / "en office" ... the meanings seemed to me pretty similar

If not, could you please explain why “à” is required in that sentence? Merci beaucoup!
You only use à when referring to a town and either EN (fem) or AU (masc) or AUX (plural) for a country : j'habite à Paris en France :)
Merci, Alexa! Vous êtes la meilleure!! :D

HI Alexa, in the example "le chat est dans la boite" you mistakenly used 'the' instead of 'le' in the french sentence. Au revoir.

Great explanations. My French teachers never explained this in detail. Alexa where did you grow up? And do you teach full courses?
Merci pour ce lecon Alexa. I have been struggling with the word IN for a long time, Now I know that EN is used when you want to say things like, in time, or in transit, or in love.

Merci Madame, J'ai compris....
Gracias Alexa!
A great lesson but still super confusing when using on spur of the moment, practice takes time and making many mistakes lol
Merci beaucoup Alexa
Cette classe c'est très magnifique
No need to add très.
If you can substitute the word "inside" or "within" for "in'" then you can use the word "dans". Le chat est dans la boite. The cat is inside the box. Je vais au bureau dans cinq minutes. I am going to the office within five minutes. What would be the difference between "Je suis en classe" and "Je suis dans la classe"?
"Je suis dans la classe"? is the physical position. You are inside the classroom. But 'en classe' you are busy being in the process of learning. So more like 'I doing a class'.
Thanks you
Très bien leçon. Merci à vous!
Hi, can you teach how to presentation (about self)..
Thank you so much for this video
Merci, madame!
Just one question, why is "je vais aur bureau dans 20 minutes" = I "will go" to the office in 20 minutes, shouldn't it be "j'irai"?
No because the fact that it indicates the future is already implied by the "in 20 minutes" so you don't need to conjugate the verb for the future. Also another thing is that other european languages tend not to use the future tense as much as we do in english as they can just use time to tell you its in the future. It might be a bit confusing but don't always try to equivocate everything to how english works,you just have to learn how they do it.
