This is why understanding french is so frustrating. I can read books but spoken french is like listening to teenagers speak english. It's brutal and changes where you are.
I thought I was the only one 😅
The good news is - TYPICALLY the more important a statement is, the more likely someone is to speak clearly and properly instead of talking like someone who just rode in on the short bus.
Love this! Would love you and Max to make more videos like this!
Thank goodness for your videos. I do my Alliance Française class and then I do yours and then I do a little Duo. Between all 3 I feel like I am benefitting from both the Academic French and also the cosmopolitan or conversational French. It's going very well. About to start Beginner 3 ❤💕
How do you do it I have been practicing in Duolingo for more than six months my speaking and hearing have not improved except for my reading.
@@ndifrekeudo3601I think Duolingo doesn't works at all. I prefer to use Busuu. It has more example sentences to teach you more phrases.
This video just makes me feel defeated. Worked so hard to get to C1 yet don't know these expressions.
😅
C1 is a very solid level. But you are right - it's like everything we are taught about another language is basically BS.
It's like having extensive knowledge of something that is basically useless.
My level of French is A2 or maybe B1 (on a good day) but I keep thinking, is this even worth it?
I’ve been eager about this video because my French is very textbook. Any good tips are always welcome.
So much fun! Great to learn every day French.
we need more of this!
It’s nice to see Max again! Hope they’re well.
I'm happy that I just now found your channel and subscribed.
you called it slang,
so that's not what I would want,
but colloquial, yes I would like to know that 😊
This helps me sooo much in high school French! Thx this saved my grade. My teacher asked me to stay after class once and goes how are you suddenly doing so good in this class you are much more confident and your grade raised. And all I said was French with Alexa Monsieur 😂😂😂😂
The perfect lesson. I like . Thanks a lot.
J'ai adoré cette vidéo ! Merci.
love your channel. i've got a silly question. if i get a job with air france in the usa for ticket and gate agent, is it necessary to speak french or do most french people speak english? thank you!
Was very useful and amazing speach
I loved the 1st video you made like this interviewing Max. I watched it several times & assigned it for homework to my high school students. I will do the same with this video and any more that you release. These interview videos are so fun and interesting and great for oral practice!
You unleashed Max onto your students? As with teenagers they probably are going to study this lesson extra hard 😂
@@canchero724 LOL!
Thank you for this video 😊🩵❤️ you are my motivation with my French :) . YES I want more everyday French :) really help and also a bit stressful 😅. So thank you 😊👍🏻
nah no thanks LMAO😂😂😂😂😂😂
Very nice, what was the farewell Max used at the end?
Bizou 💋 bizou 💋 Salut ! (kiss kiss bye)
You can also write bisou instead of bizou
Merci beaucoup c'est très bien video. J'apprendé beaucoup mots...merci madame.
C'est
I love your videos, Alex❤❤🎉😊
Great chemistry 😂
So in essence we have no chance of understanding spoken French.
Can I use this in Production ecrite in Edexcel IGCSE
Very nice ❤
Bonjour Alex,
Toujours tu est superr...Mais je besoin video sur la exam B1. Parceque j'errai prepare' pour B1 exam francais.
Merci
Wow, I could understand much of the banter you spoke! But, not your friend- idk...I am educated and older so wouldn't speak in slang English much.
Now, this is what we need--something to help with colloquial French. Glad to know I'm not wrong when I scream "Vous faites quoi?!" at hockey games.
Alexa, quand je vois ta chaîne, je me sens heureuse 😊.
When I watch your videos I learn something thank you madam ❤

What is the name of the song they sang?
“Frère Jacques”
"Le flouze" se semble comment la parole "f(i)luus(فلوس)" du arabe que signifie "l'argent"...
Alexa your microphone seems to be clipping or something. Hope you can have a look at the settings. It makes it hard to listen. Thanks for the videos!
I love this
Madame, Je suis traditionaliste. Je parle le français traditionnel que parlaient parents et grands-parents. Je suis consterné de la dégradation du français ou de n'importe quelle langue. J. Mirambeau
Alexa is stunning. She's got such natural beauty, she's gorgeous
I sent this to ma chère amie.
Il aussi chante comme une casserole.
What is the name of the song they sang?
Do you guys also say "Je le/la crains" or "j'en crains" for "I'm afraid of it"?
j'ai peur de qqch = j'en ai peur
je crains qqch = je le crains
Alexa and Duolingo app = perfection
Merci d'avoir montré cela, on en avait besoin surtout ainsi que étant un anglophone.
As (being) an English speaker, I ... = en tant qu'anglophone, je ...
ainsi que prévu, I ... = as planned (according to what is/was planned), I ...
@@cyruschang1904 merci beaucoup mon gars.

Merci 🙏 beaucoup !
Avec plaisir ! ☺️
❤❤❤Très intéressant
Colloquially is a word.
Bonjour !!
SAME
Alexa, vous ne chantez pas comme une casserole.
That ea was beautiful
It’s nice to see both of you together.! This video reminds me of something I was told when I started speaking French for the first time by my friend who is in France. And that is “ Tu parles français comme une vache espagnole.”
Any body wants to speak french plz dm
Alexa if you see e this pls reply
I just realised about 5 minutes ago, that all this effort French puts into assigning masculine or feminine gender to non-sexual objects is completely pointless. I mean consider the sentence "The child is raising her hand." In English it's obvious that the child raising a hand is a girl because the pronoun "her" makes it so. But in French, this sentence translates to "L'énfant lève sa main." Now the pronoun, "sa" is feminine, but that's not because it's a girl raising a hand, instead the pronoun "sa" is used because its antecedent, "main", is designated (for whatever reason god only knows) feminine. So, "L'énfant lève sa main." is the same whether the child raising a hand is a boy or a girl, and can only be translated into English without knowing the context, as "The child is raising *its* hand," because there's no way of knowing from the French version of this sentence what the sex of the child raising his or her hand is. I'm sorry, but French (and possibly/probably all languages that designate gender to non-sexual things) is an inferior language to English.
And while I'm on a roll, I wish teachers of French would make it clear very early on to their students that French liaison is pretty much in the eye of the beholder. Liaison is the rule for pronouncing the final consonant of a word when the following word starts with vowel. But so many native French speakers don't bother to follow it. So you'll have many French people not bothering to pronounce the final t of est in, for example, "est encore". A lot of students like me will be wondering what exactly is the rule for pronouncing the final consonant of words because there seems to be so much variation, when the truth is it's up to the speaker whether or not to use liaison, i.e. it's not a rule set in concrete.
I'm not going to contradict you, French is indeed a complicated language and the genre is a little useless. But in my opinion, the beauty of this language also comes from there and millions of possibilities to make a sentence. Let's move on. I just inform you that in "L’enfant lève sa main" the word "sa" is not feminine for nothing... and yes we can't know if it's an eraser or a woman but in the books it adds a lot of suspense! The word "sa" means, the child's hand UNE hand therefore female then SA.
I think yes, English is simpler. An easy language to learn. But French has much more vocabulary, more determinant, conjugation, time, fashion, grammar rule... in conclusion much more possibilities. Each of his words has at least two synonyms. All the opposite... this language is simply magnificent
@@AxoKandPogo I actually don't agree with myself. There's nothing "inferior" about French. I get frustrated sometimes trying to learn the language and was just letting off some steam. But every language has its quirks and idioms; they're not defects -- they add a unique charm, character and flavour to a language.
