Bonjour aujourd'hui..its my first day to decide to learn French..i have started with few words..Now i have searched for any UA-cam channel to learn..i found you..& immediately subscribe after reading all positive comments..I hope by God's grace i will learn it by myself.. I can't spend money for learning..
Thank you so much..
Everyone wish me good luck 🤞🏻😊
All your advice is so true. The biggest thing I have found is to NOT sign up to lots of website/youtube learning platforms. Choose one, like Dylane (of course) and stick with just that one ONLY. It is very overwhelming receiving heaps of emails alerting you of new videos etc.
That is true Wendy. There are so many platforms now that it's hard to stay focused. Thank you for choosing me 🥰
I sign up for multiple because I can’t learn a language solely from one source. So I use Duolingo, books, iTalki, music, tv shows/movies, podcasts, and UA-cam vlogs/grammar videos. I learn the fastest when I diversify. I use a textbook for structure on what I should learn next and then make my study plans.
The reason I want to learn French by myself is flexibility and timing. I want to take online class, but my busy life doesn't permit me so I choose to learn on my own term.
That's a very good point! Life can get really busy sometimes!
That’s so great that you are taking the initiative! Bonne chance!
So sorry for the late upload 😅 Something things just aren't working.
All the links I talk about in the video are in the description post.
Have fun learning 🤩
O my god, I'm watching her video for the first time..... I'm in love with her, she is such an amazing educator. May god bless you.
The best service is to spread knowledge, i appreciate all your hard work and i wish you all the very best. ❤️❤️❤️
You are too kind ☺️❤️
Merci Dylane! I have been following you for quite some time and I make sure to purchase your books or Patreon! You have truly been a great teacher.
Ashli thank you so much 🥰 I love reading your comments. And thank you so much for always supporting my work 🥰
Great advice, Dylane. I would add that your books have helped me so much over the past couple of years, I think I have them all now! Thanks for all you do 🙏
Kurt I shared your comment on my Instagram story yesterday. Thank you so much 🥰
Merci Madame - you are always so encouraging and empathetic to the journey of your students - this sure was a clear line up of your suggestions for learning.
Merci Peter ☺️
I learned a lot by your french grammar playlist. It was very difficult to find french grammar resources in a structured way. My french grammar improved a LOT by the end of the course. Thank you very much.
I am so happy to hear this Naveen. Good job on finishing it 🤩

Hello Dylane, thanks for your great advise. Today I just start French my 3rd foreign languages✨✨🥳
I love your channel! I'm learning from Chile to go as an exchange student to France. You seem like such a warm and sweet person.🇨🇱🇫🇷
That is such an exciting adventure. I hope you will have a lot to fun 🥰
Thank you very much Dylane for your effort.
Pas de quoi :)
Your advice is very helpful. Merci beaucoup et bon journée 😊
Merci, bonne journée à toi aussi :)
Thank you Dylane! I just recently picked up the interest of having french as my second foreign language and i have found sincerely your videos very helpful. I can't thank you enough. I am barely a month but i have great expectations Dylane! Merci infiniment et merci mille fois ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for choosing my videos 😍 I am so glad they help you!
This is a great video. You really understand how the mind works when it comes to learning languages. I learned Spanish and Italian by talking to myself and listening to others. When I watch your videos, I see that you are making an enormous effort to teach French. You are a Superb teacher.
I shouldn't take your generosity in publishing French videos for granted, so I sent you a small donation.
Thank you so much for supporting my work 😍 I am so glad you enjoy my French lessons 😍
I literally love you,you are helping me so much😭my french improved alot and im so thankful,i wish you the best ma'am🙏💖
You're so welcome!
I have studied 11 languages along the way of learning for my B.A., my M.A. and my PhD. All but 2 are for translation purposes. I wish my professors were more like you. I would/could have learned so much more.
Oh wow! 11 languages is incredible! I am very impressed Leslie :)
I take off my hat, Lesly. As a personality you are somewhere between "persistent" and "stubborn". In positive meaning of the second word.
Eish you are more than the word intelligent
Merci Dylane! J’apprécie beaucoup vos vidéos. Merci pour m’encourager :) bonne journée 🙂🙂🙂
Merci à toi :)
Ma'am, I sing-along French Songs and speak the same dialogue spoken in the movie out loud or as in French Tv Series. I learn a lot faster with sing-along songs. Neither English nor French is my first language. You made the French easiest to learn. Thank you so much for all the work you are doing for us. Thank You Ma'am.
That's a great way to learn! Keep going 👏
Merci beaucoup, Dylane !
Merci à toi :)
Thank you for your advice.
My pleasure!
Merci Dylan you helped me a lot 🥰
Pas de quoi :)
Very helpful thanks
You're welcome!
Rally useful advice, thanks for your videos! Tomorrow I'll watch the pronounciation ones 😁
Nina let me know how it goes :)
Merci mille fois, Dylane
Merci à toi :)
Thankyou ma'am,you are really a great teacher
It's my pleasure
The most talented and clever teacher i have ever seen
Thank you 🤩
Hello Dylane,
I think you're brillant and very level-headed person.
Thanks a lot for all your advice.
👍🤗👌
Merci Miguel 🥰
I think so
All courses are like 500 dollars which is a pretty big amount in india im very thankful for you for providing free lessons that will help me to get fluency in language🤩❤ 🤩❤❤🤩❤
Anytime :)
Bonjour Dylane j’apprends le français depuis dix ans tout seul. Tes conseils sont bons😊
Merci beaucoup Denise 🥰
Thank you so much
You're most welcome
This sounds like a practical way to learn!
Thank you Rich :)
Love your tips! Merci beaucoup ❤
Merci 😍
Merci Dylan
Merci à toi :)
Thanks 😊
No problem 😊
Starting with good pronunciation is what helped me the most.
Yes 😍 Kimberly you will want to watch next week's video :)
Bonjour Dylane! In my humble opinion, you can improve your English pronunciation significantly by learning the dark L. In English, the letter L at the end of a word is pronounced very differently from the letter L at the beginning of a word. That’s called the difference between dark L and light L. To pronounce the dark L, one raises the back of the tongue, as if pronouncing ‘ou’. There are some tutorials on youtube about how to pronounce the dark L.😊😊😊
Will try ;)
Parlez-vous à vous-même, excellent conseil!
Et c'est gratuit :D
The speaking to yourself method is amazing. I learned turkish by myself . I was watching turkish series every night for 3 months and as well the grammar on UA-cam and after 3 months i was able to understand everything and started to speak slowly and for practicing speaking, i always speak to myself and now i have some turkish friends they tell me that how can you speak so well turkish without going to school?😊 Now i learn french and I'm using the same method and i hope one day i can speak it very well.
That's amazing 🤩
its my first week in my French journey, Im in the Philippines (a complete beginner 😅) and i came across your video and I am your new follower , thank you so much- I will surely watch all of your videos-
I am eager in learning French 100% sure. ❤
You’ve got this!
Welcome to my channel 🤩 Keep me updated fo your progress :)
Salut Dylane, wonderful advice as always. At 2:53 when you say you have a "photographic memory" I'm wondering if you really mean that you are a visual learner. That is, writing things down, making little drawings and charts helps to cement things in your memory.
A "photographic memory" means you can look at the text of a book once, take a perfect snap-shot in your mind, and then be able to recall everything perfectly word for word and images too. It would be rare and amazing if you do have such a memory, but then again you are a pretty amazing person.👍
I know the difference between the 2 Martin ;) I don't need to take notes for things I am interested in, but for the rest, it's another story! Also, I have a very short attention span so that never helped. But I know the difference yes :)
Merci beaucoup
de rien :)
"Speak to yourself"
Je suis d'accord avec toi
Not many people do this, and it's free :D
Merci beaucoup madame 🌹🌹
Merci à toi :)
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane 💐💐🌹🌹
Merci a vous, des conseille très utiles! Je parle deja avec moi-meme, tous le temps.....
Moi aussi David 😅
Hello ~ I am eager to begin this course and I especially LOVE the checklist you created in the study guide so I can systematically work on the lessons. But, I see that there are a variety of OTHER videos such as "50 Sentences Slow and Normal". Do you have a checklist you can give me for the OTHER videos so I can catch up on them in a recommended order ? Many thanks for the work you have done to help those like me !
I don't have one for the other lessons no. It would be a lot of work to change every week when I publish a new video unfortunately :/
I'm learning the 1000 most useful words from the refold deck, I was wondering if I could get a bigger deck 😆
You are very respectful person.
Trying my best ;)
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane we really appreciate what you do for us as learners. For me, listening is the most difficult part when it comes to learning French. I hope one day i could listen to a podcast in french and understand 80% of it.
I like your video alot
Merci :)
you are amazing
No you are ;)
C'est très bon.
Merci :)
How many levels(like A1,A2......) are covered in your grammar and conjuction videos please tell 🙏🙏
I was fooling around with French and now I am at B1+B2 level...now have begun listening a beacoup podcasts!!!
Je suis très heureuse. 😁
You can do it 👏
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane but I am still so stuck with past and future tenses together!!!
😬😭

One day you will and that's ok if it's not today :)
Merci beaucoup mon prof je préfère. Je suis en le niveau B1 à Alliance Française de Kampala
Bravo Gloria, B1 c'est super 🤩
I do have a private teacher, and I would like the self-study guide for additional support
You can get it on my website, or send me a email and I will send it to you :)
Thanks Dylan. I am learning French and I have not been able to progress to this stage with God's blessing and your help🙃
And the thing I want to mention is that:😇
that my father always advised me to learn French with you😌
and I think that was the best advice for learning French🤩
I rarely comment on videos😎
But every time I see your lesson...I can't stop😉
and again and again thank you😊
Thanks a lot Merci beaucoup😘
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I love reading your comments Nesar. You work so hard watching all those videos every day. You will speak French in no time!
Took me a long time to figure out how I like to learn and what kind of content I like. Hint: just doubling down on Duolingo isn't enough. Schedule a video lesson with a teacher/tutor to give you an idea of what it takes to learn how to talk and understand what people say, that'll orient your studying
Totally agree Lisa. Duolingo is great to learn a bit everyday but it won't give you all the tools to learn :)
Bonsoir Dylane 👋
Bonsoir 😃
I know its a year later but in case anyone sees this and cane help me, awesome. I am a leanree who needs to know the history and what im working towards. The full picture. I (especially with language) need to understand why something is the way it is so i can recognize patterns. How to i construct my leanring around that when i dont know where to find the definitions of french words and why they are used to describe or be that thing they are or are describing?
You should get my self-study guide on my website (it's free) and follow the lessons. I explain as much as I can the why's and how's :)
Hi dylane, Is the pronunciation of 'ai' the same as 'e accent grave'? I though it was a little different with the bottom lip moving forward with the pronunciation of ai, but i cant really hear that in words like 'fait' or 'jamais'. I see different videos where teachers explain it differently.
I am not sure because I don't explain pronunciation in this video but AI can be pronounced é or è depending on the words ;)
comment je peux améliorer mes ecrits?
La vidéo était vraiment utile , merci! J’ai un doute en général
Pourquoi on dit au revoir et pas à revoir comme à demain?
C'est juste comme ça, il n'y a pas de raison particulière ;)
Use 1.75x to save time
I am a student.I learn french language for A/L.Can you give us a roadmap as a pdf to learn french ❤️
All the lessons you should learn are in my self-study guide :)
how to prepare for tef/tcf?
Diversify your study, reading, listening, writing, grammar, etc :) Good luck!
Do you have tips not to forget what you learn?
A little bit of practice every day. Even as little as 10 minutes :)
John 3:16, God bless
Dylane, une question s'il vous plaît. You mentioned knitting, I enjoy also. Can you recommend a Knitting podcast spoken in French? I can only find one on UA-cam. What is better - to learn French from a French native or from a person whose first language is English?
Judith try Lysandre Hourdin. She has a podcast and UA-cam videos with transcript :)
You said "a dollar" at the start, what country are you in?
I have been living in Canada since 2019. My husband is Canadian :)
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane ah, superb. That all makes sense now. Thanks for the videos 👍🏻
one idea I have is learn to tell a short story in French, try to do it as fluently as possible.
Very good idea Yan 😃
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
🥰
are you a French native speaker?
I am yes. French os my first language and the only one I spoke until I was 27 :)
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane os? What does it mean?
Not crazy if you have a Bluetooth in your ear.
Wow She went on for 12 mins and said nothing. Tell about resources. FROMBWHERE CAN I GET TO LEARN THE LANGUAGE. WHAT YOU SAID MA'AM IS TRUE FOR WHATEVER YOU WANNA LEARN AND NOT JUST FRENCH. I CAME HERE SPECIFICALLY TO KNOW HOW CAN I LEARN FRENCH.
I have of free courses to learn French from A to Z, and I talk about them in this video. But with your attitude, you can go to another channel. I won't miss you.
Most French teachers on UA-cam don't have an accent, well it's not à French accent...It's a little British sounding, which i absolutely hate, and the rest of their "accent" is just soulless and robotic.
YOU are one of the very few French teachers who HAVE an actual French accent-- and it sounds AWESOME!
NEVER EVER lose your accent!!! It's enchanting and beautiful, and your Lucky you have it. If you cane to the USA, you would be like a "rock star." I promise you that.
People would be spellbound by you ( unless you were a bitch, then they'd resent you), but if were nice, and you are, anything you wanted, all the guys would make fools of themselfs trying to give you it, and the women would find you facinating as well, they might be jealous too, but you would still facinate them. People LOVE an actual French accent here.
Thèse other French teachers,if they came here, no-one would even notice them, unless they actually spoke French.
You speak English very well, and the accent makes your English better. It gives you character. You have a great voice. Dont change a damned thing about it.
I love it Merci beaucoup ll a your student from India 🇮🇳 :-) . how do you manage this type of topic to clear and making video, pdf, books, website you doing yourself 😅 or u have ( team ). Any way ❤ I appreciate your hard work ☺️
I thank your such a lovely content
Hi there :) I don't do everything myself. I write all my lessons, books, and blog posts myself, but I have a team for video editing, book design and everything. I used to do everything myself but not anymore. I hope it helps :)
Contactez-moi j'ai le logiciel qu'il vous faut.
Please post more short videos it is soo helpful merci 🤍
I post 3 short videos a week ;)
Your videos are very well organized and you are a good presenter. I like your speaking style… 💙🥷🏻🎵
Thank you so much 🥰
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane You are most welcome 💙🙏🧞
A pretty instructor helps ❤🫶 lol jk. Writing everything down helps. Possibly flash cards. But like you said consistency is key no matter what if you don't quit you stay at it. You will overcome.
