Another reason is you can insult someone and tell them it means something nice. 😊
pinkandyellowflower haha! true! :)
Hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha
You just sold it for me, can’t wait for French class 😂
There's a big reason you missed: a lot of English words originated in French. (That's a legacy of the Norman Conquest.) This means that French is relatively easy for Anglophones to learn, and also that learning French will improve your knowledge of English!
Here in Canada all the schools teach French because a quarter of Canada's population is Francophone. (We're officially bilingual.)
Did you know that French was Prince Philip's first language?
Here are my personal reasons for learning French :
1) It is sexy and beautiful. French is surely a "plus" when it comes to seduction.
2) Vocabulary. To communicate in English, you need 300 words. But if you want to express yourself properly in French, you gotta learn a few more words. While learning new words in french, you will gain a huge vocabulary in English as well because they are more than similar. People will find you smarter and you'll understand way more things.
3) French gastronomy has a really good reputation. If you go to a high restaurant, it will most likely be french, so you'll be able to order for yourself and your friends in the native language of the waiter. I assure you'll love doing it and you'll impress everyone.
4) French women (and men). Before going to France, I didn't know how much a person could be charming. French people are elegant, natural,classy, humourous... You'll like them right away.
5) French is affluent. If you want to climb in society, speaking this amazingly beautiful language will help you a lot.
6) Literature. There is uncountable masterpieces written in French. The authors are legends ; Victor Hugo, Molière, Baudelaire, Maupassant, Audoux, Balzac ... And the list is still long. You won't be bored when practicing.
peu importe ! Google choice
I was inspired to learn French after listening stromae's songs
Même
dar gon Stromae isn't French, he is from Belgium
here's several tips for how to learn French
Decide exactly why you want to learn it
Try to speak French in your everyday life
Find which process works for you best.
(I learned about these and more from Mirykal French Plan site )
Laurine Moka Stromae is from belguim but à big part or the belgium speak french
Stromae is BELGIAN not FRENCH
We are 66 million people in France and I don't think the non-French French native speakers are only 8 million. There are Quebec, Belgium, a part of Switzerland, some African countries. . . All of these people can't be just 8 million people.
+gg454lune native speakers includes people growing up with the language. This includes Quebec, Belgium, and parts of Switzerland and parts of Africa. Non-native speakers are those that learn it separately
Frankie Logue Thank you. I already knew and that's what my comment implied but thank you.
gg454lune oh my bad
Countries usually considered part of Francophone Africa.
Their population was 392 million in 2015 and it is forecast to reach 847 million in 2050.
France isn't among the top ten most widely spoken native languages, but among second languages it has a worldwide reach surpassed only by English. As recently as the nineteenth century, it was THE international language, like English today. (Hence the term "lingua franca.")
74 million? That's what you get if you only count France (66M) and Quebec (8M). DR Congo has 77 million inhabitants with French as their main official language.
Are there native Francophones in Australia?
Over a million French native speakers in the UK.
Plus Algeria, Tunisia, Mali, Mauritania, Senegal, Cameroon?
I've got better reasons:
1. You can become Amélie.
2. You can read French literature.
3. You'll be able to travel to a myriad of French-speaking Caribbean-, African- and European countries. And Quebec and French Polynesia.
4. Speaking French will make it easier to pronounce fancy words in English.
5. You can teach French in your local town and live off it.
6. You'll be way more charming to people. Most people find French romantic and sensual.
7. You would find other romance languages way easier once you speak French fluently.
8. Your brain will stay sharper knowing another language.
You could say the same for any language for number eight.
you actually just made me not want to learn french
Oh no! Why? :)
You will never know
Loool
I'm French and that made me not wanting to speak it either
@@LindsayDowLanguages Cuz Simply you've present your video in a very Sarcastic style, like most of the reasons had made no sense and really bored Sorry but that why I didnt like, please accept my opinion as constructive criticism and thank you for all the the previously, Great languages videos like Arabic, spanish...it was really Gorgeous ❤.
I was inspired to learn french because of miraculous ladybug since I wanna watch the original that's in french
It was funny, thank you very much for sharing!
The fact that you spoke about Stromae makes me love you even more, I'm Belgian and i speak english, french (my native language) and dutch. I am currently learning german and spanish, I really like your youtube channel, keep it up, you are doing a very good job :)
Thank you so much for your comment! :) Stromae is amazing!! I was lucky enough to see him live a couple of weeks ago in London - it was the best concert ever!
She's funny
+mickey rat (maqnchs) merci :)
Love the video, thank you! I'm taking French classes at the moment.
If someone ask me, What is Love? I will simply say" Just Watch This Video" than you will realise. I'm learning French almost 6 months but this video made my life. You are simply outstanding. Love From Rouen :)
i just started learning french today!
i just love how it looks and sounds and ugh.. everything about French stuff😂
it isn't 74 millions but 274 millions
Great video. this was my homework assignment for my french 1 class. you are awesome. keep it up.
+Cesar Galan cool! Merci! :)
De rien
I’m trying to learn it, and understood what you said at the beginning but mainly the launguage goes over my head. Because I live in Canada people speak English and FRENCH I’m learning it. Sometimes I’ve already learned what a sentence means but people have to say it ssslllooowwwlllyyy.
Nice one !
Raison numéro 10 : You can claim to be french and work only 35H a week.
Raison numéro 11 : You can discover french Gastronomy.
Raison numéro 12 : You can hit on french Girls/Boys/Other, most of them can't speak english.
Thanks! Glad you like it!
I agree with your reasons number 10,11 and 12! I think I'll have to make a sequel already! Haha! :)
There is another major reason to learn French for non English-native: due to the French origin of 30% of the English vocabulary, one's English command will necessarily improve when learning French due to synergy.
I learned french in school because I'm Canadian. I was kinda forced to but I still love the language❤️
1:07 haaha j'adore ton accent français pour une non française
+Lefty Yow (LeftyOw) merci! :D
Lefty Yow weird how I speak literally no French at all yet I could read everything that you said.
Haha! Yes!
I know exactly what you're saying : I adore your french accent for a bilingual ( french for a second language /not a person from france
Hi I'm French. Your accent it's beautiful
Nice I really like the reasons
Just do it. You won’t regret it, I promise.
Hi! Hope you're still commenting. What are the best ways to learn french without taking a class? I'm currently using apps and have watched a few videos on it. Merci beaucoup!
+|Jake|C| Hey! That sounds like a great plan so far! I've actually made a course about exactly that! It's called Successful Self-Study and is out in full on 1st Feb 2016, but you can join now on pre-launch! Here's more info: bit.ly/ldlselfstudy :)
Literally the only reason is because a significant other is French :D
My girlfriend is French so yeah XD
+Richard Robertson reason enough! Keep going! :D
Richard, update? How well do you know French? Are you guys still together?
SPILL THE FUCKING BEANS RICHARD
Yeah, come on *RICHARD!* we need to know!!
Haha I wonder what happened too :D

I was surprised that when you reached six on your fingers that you didn't use your left thumb like you indicated "one" with your right thumb.
By the way,i am currently learning French Spanish Italian Deutch and Russian at the same time..like when i figure out a word in one of those languages i translate it to the other four.
The verbs are quite a complex, in Russian especially.
Do you speak other language than English and French?
Yes, I speak English, French, Spanish and then to a lesser extent Italian and German. I'm currently learning Portuguese and Dutch and I also speak a tiny bit of Mandarin. :)
Woah, nice.
My goal was learning those 4 languages i mentioned without French(The pronunciation is difficult).
Then i thought like...it doesn't make sense that i skipped the French...(Its the second most important language and borders the 3 languages i set up ).
My strategy is learning 6 words for each language and learning 2 present simple tenses for each as well.
Whats your tactic?
Ah and Do you know a good site that pronounces all the French nouns? Thanks :)
How about learning Manx Gaelic?
she is a lot of fun
i learnt french because my parrents decided to raise me in quebec. and you gotta know how to talk french if you wanna get annything done here. i learnt english as my first language and started learning french shortly after frome some french speaking kids i managed to befriend despite not beeing able to comunicate with them. once i started english school we had french classes. i learnt alot their to. iv been speaking french fore about 20 years now on a dayli bassis. and i still havent masterd it. see french is a gender language. witch means objects are assined a sex. male or female. its important to memorize what sex evry object is. or youll sound like an idiot. and i can never remember whats feminin or masculine. so evry time i meet somone new and have a conversation with them theyll interupt me to correct me. like alot. and it gets on my nervs. french speaking people who know me well dont bother correcting me annymore. in short. i find french to be extremly frustrating to learn. iv only been learning it fore 20 years or so. and im never going to master it. i actuwally get into arguments with french speaking people about how stupid this concept is regularly. but yet here i am speaking this god forsaken language more than i speak english!
Because France has great history.
so does china
You meant awful
Make one on Yiddish and Breton too!

I'm American and I speak French with my church family. It is like a way for me to communicate with them on a deeper level than English. (If that makes any sense.)
French is fifth language in the world (29 countries across 5 continents), third language in business world, fourth language in web, and the second foreign language learned in the word.
When you start learning French?
Un preuve pour ça
RFE its the 10th
Where and how long have you learned French?
I love french
My french teacher made me watch this video and answer a question on it.
Looks like francophony has raised up a lot in one year ! In the video, you say there are 74 million french speakers world wide but now, in 2015, it's said there are *274* million francophones ! Sounds like a lot !
fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francophonie

Love from Americans!😙
I cant believe i said this shit
J’apprends la langue française depuis deux ans!
I just started learning French and I am interested in the language because the major EU institutions I'd like to work for are based in French speaking countries. I am currently self-teaching (reading and writing) the language and struggling to be honest :/
+CUT3FRI3NDLY That's awesome! If you're struggling, this blog post might be useful for you to get you on the right track: www.lindsaydoeslanguages.com/successful-language-learning-goals/ :)
J'ai regardé ta vidéo dans ma classe de français.
+Drake Hershberger Awesome! Bonne chance avec ton français! :)
Ok I will learn French. Oh wait I already speak French! Je sais pas quoi dire d'autre à part salut
I love the French language! My problem is that I live in the USA and well, we don't speak it here. I really want to learn French but it's rather difficult when I have no one to speak it with.
Jordon Morris Try looking for a language partner online with a site like italki, WeSpeke, Speaky, and apps like HelloTalk or Tandem. Good luck! :)
I'm learning German and i want to learn either French/Spanish. I don't think it's possible to do all 3 at the same time but 2 would be manageable. I'VE. Having such a hard time picking between the two!
Deeqa Nuur Spanish
Deeqa Nuur french
Me and my class watched this. One the fat John part we couldn't stop laughing
It can also be translated as "big John."
Verlan is the reason the french language turns me on a bit. Bonne continuation meuf!
As someone who studied French for 11 years in school and lived in Toulouse for a time, I can tell you that your accent is good. But attention: you pronounce "deux" like "de". The vowel in the latter exists in English and is therefore easy for English speakers to produce. But the vowel in the former does not exist in most variants of English and requires careful study and practice. See Wikipedia's article "Close-mid front rounded vowel" for more information.
more than 74 millions of people dear !!!!
In fact it's more than 100 millions if we count the old French colonies in Africa, most of the countries there speak french.
+Andromediens Yes! I realised I made a mistake on that one! :)
French is fun to learn. Only difficult is that there is a lot of silent letters in it.
Jesus Ibarra Glad you enjoy learning French! :)
Jersey people don’t speak french just saying, its used partially but English is the main form of communication. You should do a video about Jèrriais and Guernésiais
I taught myself French because it used to piss me off that Oscar Wilde would slap French phrases into his writing and I'd have no idea what he was saying. I shudder to think what my pronunciation is like though!
I have always wanted to learn French, but the pronunciation and accent can be hard for me. At least I can sing a few songs on French
Combien de langues est-ce que tu parles?
_There's this new french girl in my class..._
500,000 people speak french in Ontario, Canada. Incluant moi! :)
P.S. you have to try poutine with St. Albert cheese curds ;)

Ugh, i've been strugling with french since day one and I think one of the main reasons is that my classes are so boring. So, does anyone know s book,music or movies that aren't boring in french? right now i don't know if i should quit french and study italian. Is italian more beautiful snd easier than french?
HEEEEEEELP
+Geraldine Castillo Do you know Stromae? His music is so good! A big inspiration for learning French :)
+Lindsay Dow Stromae est parfait ! Mon chanson préféré est "Formidable". C'est incroyable !
Try reading Asterix comics in their original French! (It worked for me...)
You could always learn a slavic language.
You can also go for Mandarin which has no conjugation.
voulez-vous manger avec main ce soir? Lol
Be carful is "moi"
"main" is "hand" 😂😂😂
That was funny. I almost spat out my beer.
Ca se dit pas comme ça 😂
On dit "moi"pas "main"=this is "moi"this is not "main".
Oui je parle français et tu a un belle accent😉
I do French at school and am panicking about the speaking test case there so hard
Any business related reason?

The rich and beautiful history
Beautiful and ugly...
Our modern world was born in Paris in the 17th and 18th centuries, in all its horror and all its glory!
Friedrich der Große what are you talking about?
The reasons dont seem convincing to learn french
When you say 74 million, is that just native speakers? According to one site I read if you count secondary speakers including countries where there are lots of secondary french speakers it amounts to like 200 million people who speak french around the world.
+dfkdsf dfdf Yeah, I made a mistake here on that point! Sorry! :)
I will never and I mean ever want to learn French IN MY LIFE
good talk
Your loss, but ok. 👍
