Mr. Parapluie, Your teaching videos are perfect for understanding, lovely to learn from them and needless to mention you are such awesome comedian which made the learning so enjoyable. My gratitude for your teachings.
at 7:50 you say that the best thing to do is think of to give not as donner, but as donner a(with an accent), but you were just using obeir as an example so is this the case with donner as well? (Love your vids btw you're hilarious)
Merci pour le montage. Juste une chose: Il faut peut-etre aussi expliquer quelque part la difference entre " jouer a " (sport) vs." jouer de" (la musique, instrument) Manque d'accents - clavier anglais. Bonne continuation.
Here's something that I still don't understand, and it is to do with liaisons: why do you pronounce the z sound at the end of 'suis' but not at the end of 'vais' in the phrases '... suis au cinema' and '... vais au cinema'? The exceptions to the general rule of liaison confuse me loads, so are there any rules to those exceptions?
Ah, that was helpfully reassuring. I just lost my job last week so I'm going to travel around France for the summer learning the lingo, so I'm trying to cram as much as I can before I go. The next impossible-seeming thing looks like it will be word order of direct vs indirect object pronouns. But you're right, I should worry less and just let exposure do the hard work for me. Thanks.
the term in the french textbooks is liaison, but a simpler way to work it for native english speakers is - if the 's' is preceded by a vowel and followed by a vowel - either in the same word or preceding / following word pronounce it as a 'z'. Its also easier to push it into the following word when speaking. Vous avais / nous allons.
Merci pour l’explication claire :) Est-ce qu’on utilise ‘à’ ou ‘de’ après le verbe ‘obliger’? Je peux pas trouver la solution et mon prof ne sait pas non plus! Si vous pouvez me donner une explication je l’apprécierais vraiment! ☺️
Parapluie French ahh merci beaucoup!! Ouais la grammaire française peut être très compliqué 😫 mais j’espère que je pourrai la maîtriser à l’avenir 😂😩☺️

Thanks Alexa, really clear and helpful! Just wondered what about faire? Does it take de or a?
Merci !!! It's sooo useful, as the rest of your videos all :)
Ces leçons sont très aider à moi: merci à vous!
If you wanted to say "I am going there" (specifying there is a certain place) would you say "j'y vais là" or can you just say "je vais là"?
Thanks for the beautifully explined video:-).
Just a question where can i get the list of verbs that go with "à" "de"?
It's really a very wonderful video and great explanations.
Merci beaucoup 💐
How does one differentiate between I am going to school (I attend) and I am going to the school. Are they both Je vais à l'école ?
at 7:50 you say that the best thing to do is think of to give not as donner, but as donner a(with an accent), but you were just using obeir as an example so is this the case with donner as well? (Love your vids btw you're hilarious)
At 14:57, it says "A quoi". Is the "a" supposed to be without the accent or was that a typo or something?
Ah, I've read French for almost a year and I had no idea, thanks !
So excellently explained😆😆😆
