"Je veux une eau" is an odd and unclear collocation in French. We use the phrase "un verre d'eau" (a glass of water) or "Une eau minerale" (a bottle of mineral water or spring water.) "Une eau" would be used for water in general as in a body of water, "une eau de qualité"... I hope this helps.
@@yrien982 Lol? The joke is on you! She is not American, she is Venezuelan. She speaks English with no accent. Maybe instead of criticizing her, you should listen to her. Lol indeed.
Hi! I just went to Paris last week and watched your video the night before and seriously, it got me through the entire trip no problem!!! People, take notes because everything she says is true--you can get by sooo much based on what she teaches. That plus what other words you will pick up along the way will definitely make your trip that much better! Thank you so much for your videos!!!
Wow, I am french (from quebec) and your french is amazing. I can feel you learned the french accent from france. Here instead of "La carte" we say le menu

Can you please make more videos '' how to learn French ? '' because, you're so good teacher, and i don't know if somebody would teach that good as you!
Thank you Fluenz for the video but i think that its necessary to get a full French program in order to learn basic French. I think Oxenham's program is the best and its highly recommended by experts when it comes to learn french fast. Good luck guys
I'm Filipino, but I really wanna learn how to speak in French. And to be honest, I love the way how you teach including in how you speak, it makes me understand very well and fast. Thank you so much. You are a great help.
This video was very helpful with the pronunciation of words in French! I've just started wanting to learn the language, although it seems slightly more difficult than Spanish. I took Spanish for three years in high school and the words are fairly easy to pronounce, I've never tried learning French before and this video was very helpful!
I am = Je suis You are = Tu es He/She is = Il/Elle est We are = Nous sommes You are = Vous êtes I'm not really sure if this is the correct translation for vous êtes, you can correct me if i'm wrong !) They are = Ils/Elles sont
Muchas gracias por estos tutoriales!! hacen mucho mas sencillas las expresiones adecuadas, independientemente del aprendizaje en lenguajes que pudiera tener uno mas adelante.
Bonjour Mademoiselle. I am half way in finishing your This/That French Tutorial and I would say that your way of teaching is very organized. It transitions very well to the next sub-topic. They are also in very chewable bite-sized pieces where one can swallow it. Kudos! You are an excellent teacher of the languages.
This is a wonderful explanation; I love that you go into detail how the word varies depending on how it's used in a sentence; many teachers don't go into detail during exercises which leaves the learner confused and wondering why it's changed. :) Good job!
A Chinese from Asia learning French only by watching it on virtual UA-cam and without a real teacher in real life is so heart wrenching. I'm crying. :')
Of course, they are able to understand even if you make a mistake on masculine and feminine. It sound a bit funny when you are wrong, but that's not a problem, everybody understands what you're saying (and nobody will think you're stupid because all foreigners make mistakes (italians and spanish just a little, english speakers a lot)). Keep in mind that most of the words ending with E are feminine (easy when you know the sex : ex : un petit boulanger = a small male baker, unE petitE boulangèrE = a small female baker (notice that with the feminine form you dont't heard the E but you pronounce distinctly the last letter of the masculine form (n, t, r), wich isn't heard in the first case because not followed by E); and here are some feminine things : une assiette = a plate, une voiture = a car ; some masculine : un avion = a plane, un mot = a word). However there are many exceptions : un homme = a man, un arbre = a tree, un hotel confortable = a comfortable hotel, because adjectives ending with -able don't change with gender, and of course : le and ce. Almost all words ending in -tion are feminine : une addition, une opération, la condensation, etc. I hope this little improvised lesson was usefull !
I am a french person and most of the time : of course we can like wtf our language is so hard even us have trouble finding out if something is masculine or feminine so yeah😂
Is there any french person who I could talk with/ write with after number exchange so I could start learning french? Btw, I speak German and English so I could teach you too 😊
Aww, I wish I can help you with English, even though I can say I am near fluency, but I am not great at teaching. Maybe I am great at correcting and explaining a bit. I really want to learn how to pronounce french words properly. if you want, add me in HelloTalk: EtherealSoul or in Skype: EtherealSoulShadow Merci beaucoup!
I have a question. When can I use Tu instead of vous. I know both mean you, but I don't know when to use them. I remember learning Vous is either what you say to a teacher or a more respectful way of saying you then Tu. But I'm not completely sure. And I don't know when to use it.
No, you only use TU when you're speaking to 1 person (someone you know like your friend etc...) , and you can use VOUS when you're speaking to several persons (plural). You can also use VOUS when you're speaking to a person who you don't know, like somebody in the street, your teacher or your boss. Sorry for my english x)
Bonjour, you don't get to know how a noun is masculine. or feminine. Words in French, like in Spanish, Italian, Porutguese , German .. have a "gender". There are some lists, a few rules but you will have to learn each word. Restaurant is "masculin", banque is "féminin" and so on ... difficult ? yes ! But c'est la vie !
It's really helpfull, thanks. I'm a fourteen year old dutch kid trying to learn french, because I don't have french lessons at my school, but I wan't to do something with languages when i can start working later.
Never heard "une eau" in France (as well as "a water" actually). We say "je veux de l'eau" (I want water). English speakers pronounce "jugh vugh dugh low". Signed: a french guy
“Je veux une eau” is wrong we say “est-ce que je peux avoir de l’eau?” And “water” is just “l’eau” not “une eau”. And we say “est-ce que je pourrais avoir....” not “je veux...”
Dans le contexte où l'apprenant n'a jamais parlé un seul mot de français, et où l'objectif est de s'en sortir dans un pays francophone avec le minimum de fluidité, ça fait beaucoup plus de sens d'enseigner à dire "je veux" que "je voudrais" (on se lance dans les conjugaisons et les temps de verbes), ou "Est-ce que je pourrais avoir...". Franchement, si un tourite arrive dans ton restaurant et te dit "Je veux..." tu vas quand même comprendre ce qu'il veut dire. À moins que tu veuilles faire chier et être snob, et faire semblant que tu ne comprends pas, mais ça c'est pour les gens qui sont de la merde.

Ale Jesus bless u every day in ur life !!!!!!!looking forward to hear from you soon and maybe say hello in FRENCHHH !!!!!!!!!
I don't know how to thank you, for your giving us an opportunity to learn the basic French language. I would like to we have a good communication with us, if you can let me to know your Email.
I really hate to do this but i must react to two things. Americans say "I want that" where as an english speaker in other parts of the world would use politness and say "I would like" and it is this form of politness that has to be used in France. Its not "Je veux " it's "Je voudrais" and nothing else. Je veux would not get you what you want.. The use of "I want/je veux" causes us to believe that a spoilt child is demanding something. The second thing is this "Ça s'il vous plaît" a direct and impolite translation from english. What you should do is use the different forms of celui followed by s'il vous plaît and nothing else.
I like how you clump all Americans together and assume they are all impolite and arrogant. You look at Americans as being the self-centered English speakers, "I want," and all other English speakers in the world as being polite, "I would like." I'm an American, and given the context I wouldn't, nor do I really know anyone else who would, say "I want!" when in a polite situation. Believe it or not, not all Americans are fat, stupid, ignorant, arrogant, narcissistic, etc.
timmannen I stayed in France for 2 months and never said "I want" I would say I would like or may I...That's just My Good American upbringing...All places have their rudeness. If I decided to go to France with the impression that all French were "snobs" I would have been treated as such myself. Instead, I went with an open mind to come to my own conclusion. I found most to be very open and polite to me (but one bus driver), but then again I was nice and polite to the people I came in contact with. Bottom line? Don't clump a group of people together in the same group no matter what the Nationality, Culture or Background.
merci de cette video, c'est tres enrichissante, mais on ne dit pas vraiment "je veux une eau" on utilise plutot l'article partitif, "je veux de l'eau", since water is uncountable, we use the partitive article or just measure the water by its container, un verre d'eau, une bouteille d'eau or just "de l'eau" like you say "du riz" (some rice or rice), it just means water or some water
It is true that French is a dificult language, with its conjugations, its agreements ... But if you work that! I am French ! ;) #Language #France #JeSuisCharlie
Bon ami haingo MERCI BEAUCOUP !!!!! u really know how to explained in the easiest way !!!! MAY U SIGNED A CONTRAT TO TEACH IN ARGENTINE ???? merci aussi !!!!!
very good lesson at the beginning , but after... god. "Je veux ce plat" , it's really rude ! Spoiled child often say "Je veux , je veux..." It's not polite : you have to say "Je voudrais (pronounce voodrè)" And don't say "je veux une eau" , but "je veux de l'eau" (well , "je voudrais de l'eau" , if you want to be polite) Good luck to you , if you wanna learn our complicated language , must not be a piece of cake... And don't give up too quickly ;)
Mariee Yuki I am Maître de conférence and researcher in economics at Paris Dauphine. Slang? There is no slang in it. You can say: "Je voudrais une eau plate". Period.
+Doney Hon as u said it's only when said in particular what sort of water? but not when said normally , "je veux de l'eau" or " je veux une eau plate" she did not specify it like u did .
Mariee Yuki "Je veux une eau "se dit. Un serveur peut dire "est-ce que vous souhaitez que je vous serve une eau?". Point. Et parlons français, puisque apparemment tu serais une experte du maniement de la langue.
Thanks forma the response. This is my email..alexhd2010@gmail.com. let"s set days when we both are available. I am a highschool teacher. I teach Spanish in San Diego California. I can Skype after work. That is after 5 pm. I am looking forward to chat with you.muchas gracias
For fast learning you need to make sure french phrases go into your long term memory through a lot of repetition and listening to french music, french radio stations, speaking french with natives etc.... Use apps like Duolingo, Memrise and Hello Talk whereby you can talk to other people and practice your language skills. GOOD LUCK!!
Jumanh Alabdulaal I didn't start with alph. and numbers, that's boring. Istarted with full sentences, full conversation phrases, good videos like this and Alexa's channel, and a good app. French is easyer if u were an arab who speak english. good luck.
I tried to learn new vocabulary through Memrise (App) and Frenchsounds (channel), and I found it easier than learning the alphabet or the basic rules! Thanks for your suggestion.

Would someone who speaks french still be able to understand what your trying to say if you mess up on masculine and feminine words?
Of course, they are able to understand even if you make a mistake on masculine and feminine. It sound a bit funny when you are wrong, but that's not a problem, everybody understands what you're saying (and nobody will think you're stupid because all foreigners make mistakes (italians and spanish just a little, english speakers a lot)).

it depends on the subject or person.

Bonjour, you don't get to know how a noun is masculine. or feminine. Words in French, like in Spanish, Italian, Porutguese , German .. have a "gender".

What a great explanation. :) Merci, beaucoup.
it depends on the word . you have to by hard to your heart . but usually when the word ends with a 'e' it is mostly feminine

I thought water was uncountable in French...
Since you're in a restaurant you don't drink water out of a pond.
Never heard "une eau" in France (as well as "a water" actually). We say "je veux de l'eau" (I want water). English speakers pronounce "jugh vugh dugh low".
Signed: a french guy
Oui c'est vrai. C'est une faute qu'elle a faite! :)
I'm not francophone but I know that one doesn't ask for "a water"... silly
Gilda AG I do? say they ask “what would you like to drink? “
“A water, please “
Everybody asks for “ a water” in English I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Gilda AG “I don’t know what I’m talking about but I’m going to say something anyway like a moron”.
Many cultures say “a water” don’t be stupid.
You are much better than my French professor. I love to see you more videos
“Je veux une eau” is wrong we say “est-ce que je peux avoir de l’eau?”
And “water” is just “l’eau” not “une eau”.
And we say “est-ce que je pourrais avoir....” not “je veux...”
"Eau" c'est un mot masculin? Depuis quand?
66tmarch je me suis trompée mais c’est pour dire que c’est pas “une eau”
Dans le contexte où l'apprenant n'a jamais parlé un seul mot de français, et où l'objectif est de s'en sortir dans un pays francophone avec le minimum de fluidité, ça fait beaucoup plus de sens d'enseigner à dire "je veux" que "je voudrais" (on se lance dans les conjugaisons et les temps de verbes), ou "Est-ce que je pourrais avoir...". Franchement, si un tourite arrive dans ton restaurant et te dit "Je veux..." tu vas quand même comprendre ce qu'il veut dire.

This is the most Amazing way for teaching French language, Thank you 🙏
I don't know how to thank you, for your giving us an opportunity to learn the basic French language.
I would like to we have a good communication with us, if you can let me to know your Email.
IM LEARNING FRECH IN ENGLISH WHEN MY NATIVE LANGUAGE IS SPANISH XD
Who's IM?
Me too!
I'm the same, find it easier to learn that way anyway XD
Me too haha
first thing you learn is english and then you'll have access to all sorts of info!
You are Amazing and great teacher.
Merci.
I really hate to do this but i must react to two things. Americans say "I want that" where as an english speaker in other parts of the world would use politness and say "I would like" and it is this form of politness that has to be used in France. Its not "Je veux " it's "Je voudrais" and nothing else. Je veux would not get you what you want.. The use of "I want/je veux" causes us to believe that a spoilt child is demanding something.
The second thing is this "Ça s'il vous plaît" a direct and impolite translation from english. What you should do is use the different forms of celui followed by s'il vous plaît and nothing else.
I like how you clump all Americans together and assume they are all impolite and arrogant. You look at Americans as being the self-centered English speakers, "I want," and all other English speakers in the world as being polite, "I would like." I'm an American, and given the context I wouldn't, nor do I really know anyone else who would, say "I want!" when in a polite situation. Believe it or not, not all Americans are fat, stupid, ignorant, arrogant, narcissistic, etc.
Then I would advise you to come to Europé and work in a restaurant or shop here. When the americans come in you will understand what I mean.
timmannen yuuup, that's factual proof that most Americans are assholes, including me.
timmannen
I stayed in France for 2 months and never said "I want" I would say I would like or may I...That's just My Good American upbringing...All places have their rudeness. If I decided to go to France with the impression that all French were "snobs" I would have been treated as such myself. Instead, I went with an open mind to come to my own conclusion. I found most to be very open and polite to me (but one bus driver), but then again I was nice and polite to the people I came in contact with. Bottom line? Don't clump a group of people together in the same group no matter what the Nationality, Culture or Background.
She's cute too.
Thanks Sonia you make the learning french so easy 💋😊🌺
merci de cette video, c'est tres enrichissante, mais on ne dit pas vraiment "je veux une eau" on utilise plutot l'article partitif, "je veux de l'eau", since water is uncountable, we use the partitive article or just measure the water by its container, un verre d'eau, une bouteille d'eau or just "de l'eau" like you say "du riz" (some rice or rice), it just means water or some water
Love Aludo ok tried reading this but got lost at enrichissante
FRENCH IS SO HARD OH GOD
no its not .if you practiced well. you would survive in france or any other french speaking countries
tru
it actually is dude, sometimes even for us frenchies
It is true that French is a dificult language, with its conjugations, its agreements ... But if you work that! I am French ! ;)
#Language #France #JeSuisCharlie
No is too easy I'm Spanish speaking
Please keep making new videos about languages, I love the way you convey the materials, good accent and easy-understanding
i didn't know that plates and menus could be masculine and feminine....
Every noun has a gender lol
really?! so if a forks masculine, and a spoons feminine, then a spork is..... oh my god.
Lol!
pheadrus1999 A Hermaphrodite?
yes I would like a girlish steak please
Je ne comprompa Français!!! (I don't know how to spell either)
Tu ne comprend pas le Francais?
It's okay, with practice you'll get it.
Merci :-)
Isabelle Metcalfe Je ne comprompa *pas* Francais*
no, Je ne comprends pas le francais = I don't understand french
A really great video! Found I picked up so much more when i go thru it a couple of times!
she's a cutie
She's the founder of Fluenz LOL
And we would also say "je voudrais DE l'eau ou UN VERRE/UNE BOUTEILLE d'eau" as in "I would like water or a glass/bottle of water"...
THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP....WOULD U LIKE TO HELP ME A LITTLE BIT ???????
Eric Schwartz Are you talking to me? Sure ^^ what would you like to know?
thank u so much for ur kidness !!!! How would u say in French...i´m not thirsty at this moment but thank u anyway !!!!!
You're welcome ^^ I'd say : "Non merci (no thanks), je (I) n'ai pas (am not) encore (yet) soif (thirsty)"
Bon ami haingo MERCI BEAUCOUP !!!!! u really know how to explained in the easiest way !!!! MAY U SIGNED A CONTRAT TO TEACH IN ARGENTINE ???? merci aussi !!!!!
Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter
very good lesson at the beginning , but after... god.
"Je veux ce plat" , it's really rude ! Spoiled child often say "Je veux , je veux..."
It's not polite : you have to say "Je voudrais (pronounce voodrè)"
And don't say "je veux une eau" , but "je veux de l'eau" (well , "je voudrais de l'eau" , if you want to be polite)
Good luck to you , if you wanna learn our complicated language , must not be a piece of cake...
And don't give up too quickly ;)
Je veux une eau???? Hahahaha. What the heck! Never heard a native saying it! It's je veux de l'eau! Pas une eau!
+Mariee Yuki It exists. You dumb.
Mariee Yuki And I'm french since I was born.
Mariee Yuki I am Maître de conférence and researcher in economics at Paris Dauphine. Slang? There is no slang in it. You can say: "Je voudrais une eau plate". Period.
+Doney Hon as u said it's only when said in particular what sort of water? but not when said normally , "je veux de l'eau" or " je veux une eau plate" she did not specify it like u did .
Mariee Yuki "Je veux une eau "se dit. Un serveur peut dire "est-ce que vous souhaitez que je vous serve une eau?". Point. Et parlons français, puisque apparemment tu serais une experte du maniement de la langue.
Thank you for your wonder insights for the restaurant words very useful

I love France and french people, love to learn French as soon,, I m new in paris ,, its awesome ,,
Man this is hard. U sure this is basics??
Lol no it's not.
It's not an plus she's skipping the order so it looks complicated
I wonder how many men watching this are actually intelligent enough to focus on the actual content of the video and not her appearance.
+Jazzy J she is charming with the dark background
SANOOJ STEPHEN What about the CONTENT of the video? Like the fact that she is teaching French.
+Jazzy J actually I dont have much understanding about french to evaluate her teachings, I am a beginner, give me some tips to fast learning
For fast learning you need to make sure french phrases go into your long term memory through a lot of repetition and listening to french music, french radio stations, speaking french with natives etc....
Use apps like Duolingo, Memrise and Hello Talk whereby you can talk to other people and practice your language skills.
GOOD LUCK!!
thank you
Thumbs up for this teacher 👍 you make other languages easier to learn ♥️
My French teacher said merci meant please tho
Merci means thank you
Really?😂
Either you're misremembering or your French teacher probably needs to be fired.
Merci means thank you and sil vou plait means please(not sure how to spell it)
Hstyles 24 You spelled it right, except it's vous
She reminds me of Poppy lmao
Riana Rose ?lol poppy?
?The youtuber Poppy?
the one who talks to plants?
^yes
0:35 That's what she said
I wish to take up other language learning far more seriously this time. I hope to see more of your videos.
it is complicated :(
Jumanh Alabdulaal no way, it is the easiest lang ever especially if u r good in English.
all u need is a motivation and do it for a goal.
I’ve tried to learn the alphabet, but they were hard. I’ll try to learn it in this summer.
Jumanh Alabdulaal I didn't start with alph. and numbers, that's boring. Istarted with full sentences, full conversation phrases, good videos like this and Alexa's channel, and a good app.
French is easyer if u were an arab who speak english.
good luck.
I tried to learn new vocabulary through Memrise (App) and Frenchsounds (channel), and I found it easier than learning the alphabet or the basic rules!
Thanks for your suggestion.
It's definitely not the easiest lang man. Even the most of french people do a lot of mistakes every day. Even grammatical errors when speak.
"...masculine and feminine, like people" - In 2018? You sure about that?
I really like her approach. I'll learn grammar once I am a tiny bit fluent.
She is beautiful
+Trent Hogan And?
@@1pauled And nothing. A statement. There, you just had an English lesson.
