@@m.bk05 merci bien Babar - good to see you asking lots of questions and taking French seriously. You will succeed man - no doubt. 👊

@@FrenchCoach in sha ALLAH :) thanks for the motivating words

The letter R

Good question! Yes, the "r" sound in French does not exist in Arabic, so it is something you will have to learn. But, the "r" sound also does not exist in English, so it is was something I had to learn also. If you have a strong reason to learn French, you will succeed. French has unique sounds that both Arabic and English do not have. This will not stop you from learning French though. If you dedicate 30-60 minutes a day to learning French like I show in my videos you can build a really strong level in just a few months, Did you have any other questions?

@@FrenchCoach Thank you very much, but if I wanted to learn French and dedicated an hour to it, where do I start learning? Do I read short stories or memorize sentences and words? I want you to teach me how to start?

amazing to hear! keep moving through, I am sure you will see progress and then you will build great momentum. let me know if you have any questions :)

@@jacoba756 best of luck Jacob. Check out my 4 step plan video if you want. You might find it helpful.

Thanks for commenting Andrea - if you have had a positive experience learning French via memorising grammar, please let me know how. For my students, they are having amazing results literally ignoring grammar since they don't need to pass an exam, they want to speak good French. When you are reading this sentence here I know you have not thought of a single English grammar rule. Instead you simply understand what I am saying since you already know the English sentences and phrases. Learning the structure comes automatically when we stop trying to memorise and simply focus on understanding conversations and stories.

multiple videos on my channel are in French - look for "in FR" in my titles. Also my more recent videos I speak French more :)

@ Thank you 😀👍

check any of my recent videos :)

@@artworldclub3395 hahaha this is the best comment I’ve ever received 😂 much appreciated 🇬🇷🏛️🙏

@@yasesaka appreciate the support Yasemin 🙌

you are welcome :)

no worries Babar - hope you have been well :)

@@FrenchCoach I am :)

@@meggalpin glad it was helpful 😁

happy to help !

good question Greg. Would you say your reading & listening level is more beginner (A1 & A2), or intermediate (B1 & B2)?

@FrenchCoach Thx for getting back to me. Yes, it's more A1/A2 level probably (reading and listening). I've tested at B1 on tests. If I'm listening to something French on half speed or 0.65 speed, I sometimes can do a halfway decent job of hearing.

glad to help Rabia! how is your French learning going so far?

@FrenchCoach I was really close to giving up when I saw one of your shorts. You reminded us learners that it's normal to forget vocabulary and grammar, and that we shouldn't stress-just stay consistent. That really motivated me again! I’m at a beginner level and take half-hour lessons with a teacher on italki (that I'm re considering as she is a bit fast for my level ),I also found two great teachers on Skillshare and recently downloaded the Assimil (on your recommendation) French with Ease PDF and audio. I haven't started thinking in French yet. I can structure basic sentences and questions. I'm looking to appear for A1 exam by the end of first quarter. Any tips and advice from you are welcome😊

I've found that if you are not 100% confident in your learning method, it can be difficult to stay committed!

no problem - happy to help !

thanks for the long and detailed comment - appreciate you sharing all of that knowledge !

happy to help :) glad you liked the video!

absolutely - thanks for the support 🙌

@@allgoodpromise believe it or not I actually had those hiccups for 3 days straight. I basically survived a civil war against myself 😂

Well done for doing the video with hiccups that’s dedication and exactly what you were talking about it doesn’t need to be perfect the main thing is you got a positive and helpful video out to us. Thanks 🙏 Suja

@@lyhamroad4431 merci Suja - I know my videos can be helpful - I can't let some silly hiccups stop me! 😂

good stuff - check out my more recent videos - they are way better than this one! 😁

100% agree - it works for anything you want to learn

@@CGohStudio already done that - lots of videos on my channel “in FR” is in the title 🫡

Née

@@Hugo_1509 merci pour les commentaires frérot

@@FrenchCoach tkt mon gars, but i don't understand why would someone want to learn french, as a french, i prefer to speak English ! It is easier, simpler and is the most spoken language. (But yeah learning french gramar is painful 😣)

@@Hugo_1509 hahaha yeah now that I know French I know what you mean 🤣the reason I decided to learn French was because I was curios. Literally 0 of my 60 family members spoke any 2nd language. And so I decided to learn French since I thought it would be cool. Interesting thing is, now I help my Students learn French and for lots of them they want to go on holidays to French Canada, France and West Africa. So I help them essentially build up their French level to fluent to they can communicate with others in French! Do you still live in France? Your English is really good man.

@@FrenchCoach yeah i still live in france, i mean i can't go anywhere else i am only 15 🤣 but thanks for the compliment, i really appreciate it. Btw you seem like a great teacher, unlike my Spanish teacher, she scares the heck out of me

@@ParanoidTele yeah so I bought my Assimil book in 2020 and funny thing is they sent me the 1998 version! Now my students use the 2020 version, since they are buying in 2024 👌

@@FrenchCoachWould you suggest the 2020 version over 98?

​@@ParanoidTele yeah well you can only buy the 2020 version. and yeah it's better than the 1998 version simply because it's conversations are more relevant to daily conversations you would hear today - more useful words you can speak French with. If you're thinking of buying, you could watch my "4-Step Strategy to Learn French" video. It should give you some more detail about Assimil and how you would be using the book before you buy.

yeah absolutely. thanks for sharing Nick. Listening is harder than reading, simply because it's hard to measure how "good" you are at it. With Larry and my other students, they have all realised that just like you said, building a good listening level comes from repetition and patience. If you follow a good, solid learning plan daily, there is no way you can fail.

@@davidayozie4098 no problem David - the world would be boring if we agreed on everything! What part do you disagree with?

de rien :)

glad you enjoyed it Mimi :) you're learning Korean too right? That's some big commitment! 😁

@@FrenchCoach Yes I am :) and Mandarin too.. But have always loved French, so I'm picking it up again xx

@@mimisnotes superb. best of luck - happy to help at any point on your journey :)

@@FrenchCoach Thanks that's super kind xxx

happy to help :)

no problem, glad you found it useful :)

honestly John, if your ONLY goal is to pass the TEF exam, other UA-cam channels will give you better tips. My channel is focused 100% on learning useful French to communicate with French people as soon as possible. "Real life" French - not "Exam" French.

@@nickblooruk good way to use it Nick. I haven’t heard of the “alarm clock” method before! It is an extremely addictive app for sure. French movies and tv shows are amazing to learn with. A few of my Students are very close to being able to watch them and they are super excited. Just a couple more weeks and they will be ready 💪

​@@FrenchCoach Yep... For me, motivation is a big problem. A passion for the language can get you started, but you need to do some study every day. After a few weeks / months, my passion to learn "may dwindle"... Sometimes I really can't be bothered to study... But I will jump on Duolingo - purely to keep my streak... By the end, it puts me "back in the mood" to study.. At very least I will listen to something and go for a walk. (I copied the audio from the movie "Layer cake" so often listen to this (in French obviously). Because I know this film so well, I can mentally picture the scenes that are being referred to, and know what's going to be said before I hear it (in French)....

@@nickblooruk continue to do what works for you Nick. If you hear advice from me or anyone else online, and you know if won’t work exactly as good for you, simply ignore. If you’re making progress doing what you’re doing that’s amazing. Is there anything you had a question on for your French?

@@FrenchCoach I think you give great advise. Learning French from English. Take advice from native English speakers who have learned French is a good way to go. Great stuff..

@@nickblooruk amazing. Great to hear Nick. If you ever have any questions, don’t be afraid to ask. I respond to every comment as you can see! 👊

@@perfectquimica3437 thanks for not recommending my channel to those like yourself. More than happy to keep people who love Duolingo away. They are not serious about achieving fluency in a language, they just want to feel good clicking buttons like a casino slot machine.

@@FrenchCoach I did research on it and read testimonies about it as I don't need it. There are plenty of people and facts against what you said as well as native speakers. Just sounds like you dislike it for your own personal delusion. Clouded to accept subjective truth. So basically you just a hater bruh

@@FrenchCoach also your pinned comment contradicts your whole statement on your video so yeah. Lol

@@perfectquimica3437 Explain why Duolingo works. Also, try your best not to sound angry in your comment - will help your blood pressure.

@@perfectquimica3437 I help people learn French, not English. Not my fault you can't understand.
