It's funny that I'm paying University to learn French but I don't understand my teacher, so I have to find Alexas videos to understand my class. Thank you Alexa for making this videos! Merci!!
Really, I'm stunned at how clear Alexa's lessons are. Some of us have spent years trying to get these grammar lessons straight. It's taught me "it's not me, it's them" (the teachers). Kudos Alexa.
I've never understood "y" and "en" in French but this video has really cleared it up for me, it makes so much sense. I think I can finally use it and understand it!
I've asked many french speaking ppl over the years to explain the meaning of y and en and how they are used and nobody could ever explain it. Thanks a million!!! This was an excellent and important teaching for anyone trying to learn french.
Une des meilleures professeurs de français pour les Anglophones sur UA-cam! 10/10 J'utilise tes vidéos beaucoup avec mes élèves. Tes leçons sont tellement claires et faciles à suivre. Merci beaucoup!
Now, this class makes a lot of sense. Thank you Alexa for making life in learning French much more easier. I completed your basic French lessons from 1 - 55 chapters. And now I understand the importance of those lessons. It gives me a strong base to explore more into French learning. I used wonder and got confused à lot of times when I saw 'y' and 'en' in a lot of sentences. After this lesson, I understood why those characters appeared. That makes sense.
I didn't understood these two pronouns and their use till now! Absolutely amazing explanation, I finally understand when to use them and what is the meaning and actual point of using them. Thank you Alexa!
These lessons are so helpful. I get really confused in my all-oral beginning French class with little English explanation and not enough examples, so I am reviewing with Alexa and she’s great.
Je suis en train d'appliquer pour TAPIF et je suis vraiment nerveux à écrire mon app, donc je regarde tes vidéos à m'améliorer mon français. Merci beaucoup Alexa!
I was listening to Zaz today (as I sometimes do) and I could clearly recognize two lines I never understood before: J'en peux plus (Dans ma rue) Je n'en veux plus (J'ai tant escamoté) Only because i watched this video yesterday! Unbelievable how effective these lessons are!
Thank you very much indeed.I have always found this subject very confusing and couldn't understand it.But,thanks to you I fully understand it.I am so grateful to you.You explained it beautiful and clearly.A big thanks to you
Dear Madame Alexa, I still love your old videos like this where I see you in the video all the time, I can mimic the movement of your lips when you speak. And it also feels like a teacher teaching in a classroom 😁 I prefer this than your recent prerecorded videos. missing the warmth I get from your older videos ❤️
Basically, "en" refers to quantity , replacing "de & du", "des" would be plural, while "y" refers to singularity.. And "en" is also used as "in" beside a feminine noun.. Like "Il est en classe" (he's in class), the noun is class and it's also feminine or "Je suis né en France" (I was born in France).. Here is an example with both prepositions in it, "Je suis né en France, mais je n'y suis pas né" (I was born in France, but I wasn't born there).. Merci beaucoup Alexa, c'était une autre leçon intelligente 💯
As a French i find your explanations very clear because you help me to discover thé logic of my mother tongue 😅 French language is special...And realize how difficult he is for non-french-spoken people 🙄
Alexa, I appreciate all of your efforts. You obviously care about high quality videos and about sharing your knowledge of French. Keep doing this. There are a lot of resources out there to teach french but you have a way of providing content that doesn't spoon feed us but at the same time, provides baby steps that connect videos to one another, like a metaphorical bread crumb trail. Thank you.
I have my exams coming up and i was clueless about the grammar topics....I just binge watched all your videos and its super clear now. Thank you so much!!!
I'm sure if I would have had you as a French instructor, I would have been speaking French instead of muddling my way through! Thank you for your videos!
Ma'am can you please make a video on where to use which personal pronoun?(Cod,Coi,y,en, pronom tonique etc.) This had been driving me crazy the whole session 😵
In case someone out there is wondering, "On y va" looks to be different from the rule but in reality is not. Because as you may know, "va" comes from the verb "aller" (to go) and it requires à to present an indirect object. For example, you cannot say "Je vais l'école" you have to say "Je vais à l'école". Thus why in the case of On y va, "y" is replacing à+endroit(place). Hope this helps!
Hey Alexa ...u r awesome ....u are a blessing for me ... I wish if I could meet you once in my life and wanna thank you for making our lives easy ....by explaining difficult concepts in easy ways ...GBU with everything
At 2:40 into this video, Alexa demonstrated use of "y" in the responding sentence "Ils y habitent depuis 1 an." But I think the technically correct response would be "Ils y habitaient depuis 1 an", using the imperfect (imparfait) tense. However, using the present tense "habitent" keeps it simpler for beginners.
it is useful for me, we saved my french test tomorrow. Many thanks your disponiblity and overall your simpathy that you behave to us, Peaceandlove. keep on.
J'aime tes leçons et tes explications! I'm am currently doing a 6 week intensive course in France and all my revision is done with you in the afternoons and on weekends! Continuer le bon travail!
Excellent tutor one of the very best for a beginner like me Just one grammatical point : THERE in English or Y in French is an adverb of place and not an adjective as you suggest.
I have wanted to learn French for a long time but courses are expensive and time consuming. Thank you so much for these classes. Very simple and I’m on my way!
This video really helps. Simple but detailed. Thanks a lot for the numerous examples. Now I understand better how to use them. I love the floating words. I paused the video to let myself to answer before the examples of the answers appeared.And your appearence on the video is very amusing. I kinda feel connected to you. Once again thanks a lot!
Alexa tu es une brillante enseignante! Ces mots de remplacement sont tellement drôles. Je vais devoir l'entraîner longtemps pour le maîtriser ... On les confond facilement avec le, la les ... Le français est une langue de drôle ... mais il rend les gens et moi heureux !!! Merci Alexa de nous rendre heureux !!! Michel PS. Pardonne-moi avec des erreurs, je suis encore débutant …
i live in belgium so that means i have to learn france from a young age. but for some reason i can't do it. you just helped me out like crazy. it seems so dumb that i couldnt do it before
Don't be so hard on yourself. Learning languages aren't easy for everybody, it's about the effort and hard-work you put in that will give you results. I'm glad I could help you make some progress, bonne chance ! 💛😍
I feel like I'm understanding french better. Thanks Alexa!
Yeah same
Merci beaucoup mme alexa les pronom y et en. J'en ai compris bien. ??
🫣
Ni hao maaaa
kunichi waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
It's funny that I'm paying University to learn French but I don't understand my teacher, so I have to find Alexas videos to understand my class. Thank you Alexa for making this videos! Merci!!
You're not paying the University to learn French. You are paying them to teach you.
@@spencergee6948pretty sure it's the same thing lol
You ask your professors, they are paid to help you
@@katiemarie6567 I am pretty sure it is not. :)
same here
The best explanation of Y and EN I've ever heard since first learning French half a century ago. Très claire et remarquable!
I learned in a few days
@@TheJayWay101Yeah, but half a century ago the Internet was not nearly as common 😂.
You had to work harder to seek information and guidance.
Really, I'm stunned at how clear Alexa's lessons are. Some of us have spent years trying to get these grammar lessons straight. It's taught me "it's not me, it's them" (the teachers). Kudos Alexa.

Amazing
Although this seems really difficult and probably comes with a lot of practice, I'd like to repeat what an amazing teacher you are, Alexa!
The best explanation of these words. Thank you so much
I can only agree, Joe.
Me too
Merci bcp mme alexa
I've asked many french speaking ppl over the years to explain the meaning of y and en and how they are used and nobody could ever explain it. Thanks a million!!! This was an excellent and important teaching for anyone trying to learn french.
Ouais mes gars, ça va pas blaguer
when youtube teaches you better than your school
Online school is hard
Probably because you're not interested.
@@TheJayWay101 nah my teacher sucked
@@TheJayWay101 If wasn't interested he wouldn't have sought out other sources.
I wish every French teacher could teach like you. you are the best French teacher I ever learned from
You explain French better than anyone else.

Can you make the video on EN vs DANS because I am really confused when and where to use them. Please please please Alexa.
Mohammad Amin i agree alexa, all the "in" or "inside" it's very confusing which to use. please please :). j'en ai besoin appredre ça.
Jose Simbulan Thank you so much.🖒🖒
yeaaaa
Jose slimbulan you should not say apprendre ça. You should say J'ai besoin d'apprendre ça or Je dois apprendre ça
K.M. Amin and
I'm going to have to watch this one a few more times. Your explanation definitely made things a lot more clear.
You are such a wonderful lady Alexa...... thank you 😊 I have my test tomorrow and now I am super confident......thanks a million
Je suis en train d'appliquer pour TAPIF et je suis vraiment nerveux à écrire mon app, donc je regarde tes vidéos à m'améliorer mon français. Merci beaucoup Alexa!
I can't express my gratitude to you Ma'am. You have made french super easy. Merci Beaucoup.
A fabulous teacher . I have been learning French for a couple of years but Alexa makes it easier than I have been learning.
I was listening to Zaz today (as I sometimes do) and I could clearly recognize two lines I never understood before:
J'en peux plus (Dans ma rue)
Je n'en veux plus (J'ai tant escamoté)
Only because i watched this video yesterday!
Unbelievable how effective these lessons are!
Thank you Alexa, i had my french exam the next day. You are the best.It really helped me. Thank you!!!

very helpful my french teacher explained it but it wasnt cleared like how you explain it, thank you
it’s been my regular channel to watch and it’s informative
Your videos are the place I go to if I am confused about any French usage. Thank you SO much !
you explained it better than my teacher. vous êtes vraiment bon. I'm learning a lot thank you for sharing.
Fabulous explanation showing clearly the difference between the two pronouns. Thank you Alexa.
Merci beaucoup. Ma classe de français aux Etats Unis vous adore.
Finally some clarity on the uses of Y & EN! Merci Bien!
As a French i find your explanations very clear because you help me to discover thé logic of my mother tongue 😅
French language is special...And realize how difficult he is for non-french-spoken people 🙄
Please can you explain where exactly y becomes . When it should be after or before the verb ?
Salut Alexa, ici c'est Ullisses du Brésil. Merci pour tes classes, elles sont les meilleures qu'il y a dans youtube.
Never be too proud to watch the same video 5 times. I now get it perfectly. Thank you!!!
Merci beaucoup, Alexa.
Alexa, I appreciate all of your efforts. You obviously care about high quality videos and about sharing your knowledge of French.

Thanx! I was so confused about these pronouns, and was looking for an explanation just like that!
I have my exams coming up and i was clueless about the grammar topics....I just binge watched all your videos and its super clear now. Thank you so much!!!
it's very interesting, I liked the way they repeat the sentence to fully understood
Thank you so much,dear Alexa.Now I understand better the difference between Y and En.
You are amazing and the best teacher I ever had.❤️❤️👏👏
I'm sure if I would have had you as a French instructor, I would have been speaking French instead of muddling my way through! Thank you for your videos!
Very useful. I am kindly recommend it. Thank you!
Ma'am can you please make a video on where to use which personal pronoun?(Cod,Coi,y,en, pronom tonique etc.)
This had been driving me crazy the whole session 😵
great lesson! Thank you.
Beautiful, y and en in French are equivalent to ci and ne in Italian! I love to find all these connections when it comes to languages :) :)
im also learning Italian so thanks
I really don't have right word to express my appreciate to the help I get from you.
In case someone out there is wondering, "On y va" looks to be different from the rule but in reality is not.

Tres bien, madam. Cette lecon a été parfaitement expliquée. Maintenent, je comprends la différence entre y et en. Merci beaucoup.
Excellent tutor one of the very best for a beginner like me Just one grammatical point :

This was extremely happy and it clarified the situation completely for me. Thank you!
Ce vidéo est très bon !
Merci pour votre aide, Alexa ! J'avais beaucoup de questions sur ce sujet.
Y et en étaient des points de difficulté persistants pour moi...je vous bien remercier de les expliquer! Great video.
