Some fun ideas to further practice your French: 1- Playing games in French. Honestly this can be any game you like, but I’ve been playing Brain Test and Criminal Case in French when I’m bored; they particularly help you with your vocabulary. 2- Using double subtitles. There are chrome extensions that help you to put two subtitles in different languages; I find them particularly helpful especially if you are a beginner watching French movies/tv shows. 3- French webtoons. This one weirdly did not occur to me until I saw it in a video, but especially if you want to get more familiarized with daily phrases and more cultural aspects of French this might be a fun way to consider. 4- Turn your phone French 5- Journal in french; write short stories maybe 6- Use AI for help. For example, I have no one around me I can practice my french speaking skills with. If you are in the same situation, you don’t want to meet strangers online, or if you are a bit shy to talk to people in french yet, you can ask Google Assistant or Siri some questions in French to get some momentum for now. 7- Record yourself talking in French. It is a good practice to talk out loud; you can even talk about something simple like how your day went. Again, a good way to get some momentum if you don’t feel ready to talk to people in French. 8- Reread your favorite book or watch your favorite tv show/movie in french. If you’re already interested in the story, it makes it more fun to learn a language. That’s all I have for now I think. Lovely video!
The games one is a big one. For anyone who wants one. Broken Sword is a series of games where you can change the language to French and a few of these games are set within France too. It’s point and click detective game which allows you to take your time to read and understand things in French
How do you do the extension thing for two languages!? Just today I was watching petite films on Tv5 monde plus and I exactly had this doubt in mind. Could you please explain?
I'm a Native french speaker and french is in my opinion such a easy language the grammar and pronunciation is hard even for me, but don't give up guys hundreds of millions of people speak french. Amuse-toi bien et bonne chance.
I love learning French but it is so hard to speak for me. Sometimes I am watching Miraculous ladybug and listen some French singers such as Barbara Pravi, Indila etc. I hope I can speak French fluently
Learning French is my special goal to 2024! I was uncertain of where to begin and a guide to make my dream come true was given to me after this video. I can study with greater confidence now. I can do it!
As a native french speaker, i can tell that French is a very difficult language, even for french speakers. I hope y'all find the better way to learn it. My tip it's to "eat" french every single day by watching french videos with your native language subtitles.
@@HoonTurd Huh? You can’t learn much if you use your native language’s subtitles. Because if this was the opposite,every weeb would be fluent in Japanese by now.
@@zoe.languagesUr such a great person and ur my idol at learning languages ❤ thanks for your help, I hoppppeee that you learn more languages like arabic and Italian to expand your audience
This is such an EXCELLENT video. So detailed, so informative. She is so much better than the majority of other language learning channels on UA-cam because she has actually done the work, rather than giving opinions on topics or apps they have never actually used beyond a VERY basic level.
Zoe, I really appreciate how structured you are because I am the same. Sometimes I get a little overwhelmed because I don't know where to start but your advice help me a lot. Thank you! You are such an inspiration.
I stumbled onto your video and I was encouraged so much by your methodical approach in learning French and other languages. I've been learning French on and off since 2008 and I actually lived in Paris for almost 3 years. As a busy pastor, I don't have a chance to speak French to the congregation but since I am now in Québec, I am determined to be a French speaker. I am an engineer by training and I've worked as an aerospace engineer for over 10 years. You have reminded me there is a way to build up French similar to how one can build an aircraft engine. Have you tried Pimsleur? I've found it very useful. Except for learning grammar which I have to do apart from it, Pimsleur lets me improve and correct your pronunciation, builds up my vocabulary and listening skills. I will try all the free resources that you have recommended. Thanks again! Finally, I've found someone who can really help me to learn French systematically. More importantly, you inspire me to get excited again in learning French. In 2 years, I will visit France again and I want to be able to speak French without my wife helping me.
Hi! As a faux-débutant at French stuck somewhere between A2 and B1 for a long time, I've felt really frustrated that I'm not making any progress. But your videos really inspired me to refocus and create an interesting and effective language learning path! I'm really grateful for your work and I'm looking forward to the next videos!
I've been doing French everyday for about a month now and I've been primarily using: 1. Pimsleur French 2. Busuu 3. Anki 4. Passive learning through YT videos Pimsleur for conversational French, vocab and a heavy focus on pronunciation, and some grammar that's indirectly taught through listening. Busuu for vocab and grammar mostly. Doesn't really teach you how to put together words and phrases to create complex sentences like Pimsleur does, but does have conversational sentences that you can memorize and use for yourself. Anki to create flash cards for new vocab I wanna memorize, difficult sentences to form and being able to remember how to use certain words in a certain context of a some conversation YT is for even more vocab, grammar lessons, pronunciation and just overall improving how I hear the language, much like Pimsleur. Anything I might like and would wanna memorize, it goes into my Anki to review later I'm looking to also listen to CoffeeBreak French and using Assimil French as well. Will slowly include those
@@sadiakhattak6576 Pimsleur is good if you wanna work on conversational fluency the most, in my opinion. There's a lot of shadowing and anticipation, together with spaced repetition. It teaches you how to construct sentences and trains your ears to the language. I'm about a third way through level 4 but I'm by no means fluent lol. But you'll have a good idea of how to say something if you think about it for a little. It covers most of the basics too. The pricing is really high, but there are ways of getting all 5 levels for free if you search the internet thoroughly lol. That's what I did
Really interesting video. I studied up A2-B1 for about 1.5 years and felt pretty confident. Then I went to France and honestly couldn’t understand a single thing anyone said to me. I was so demoralised that I gave up! But now there are so many more resources and I am really focusing on listening partially Netflix with French subtitles. I still can’t believe how fast they speak but hopefully I’ll get there. I’ll use the other resources you mentioned for my revision!
Thanks for sharing and shall start it small and then growing big. ( Already a leaner of Japanese and I speak 3 language within China but still find it exciting to learn a lot more and explore the world.) Your hints and methods had been super duper helpful and throughout the year, I found myself have even better English than the time I was studying in the UK. So surely it's a lifetime journey and I did enjoy it with more fun and efficiency with Zoe's sharing. Thank you
I love her advice. It is so well informed and so well organised! Hats off! I can't imagine the amount of work she has done to put this video together. While being so methodical and calm. I loved all her resources! Unfortunately, Bussuu did not work for me. I am still sticking with Duolingo and Language Transfer. But i am pretty sure that is just me. I am EXTREMELY grateful for folks such as you egg have have learning in general so much more accessible! Thank you!!!!
Zoe, thank you so much for this video. I've been study french for several years but I haven't been really consistent with my study, and this video is really motivating. I'm going to look the resources you mentioned.
I want to visit both France and Canada someday, so I need to start learning French (I know Canadian French is different from native French, but gotta start somewhere ya know). This video came out at exactly the perfect time for me to start learning. Thank you so much for these resources!
French-Canadian here! Canadian French is not that different from European French, it's mostly the accent and the colloquial expressions/slang that widely differ. Starting with standard French/French from France is a great idea, eventually you can just start to incorporate French-Canadian audios in your language journey and you'll be good to go!
There are also Overseas parts of France, in the Caribbean Gouadeloupe, Martinique & French Guyanese, in Pacific there are Tahiti & New Caledonia. There are also many N W & Central African ex(?colonies. You Tube has at least 1 video of Francophone communities around the world, like S of Louisiana & many obscure towns in other states, Pondicheri & 1 other town in India, etc. W Hemisphere details US Louisiana French speakers include Cajuns Creoles (? linguists speak of a different language) Homa, etc. Indigenous peoples Canada--Métis ethnicitypart French & part Indigenous. Bonne chance!!!
I'm a french native, electronics and computer nerds , at 8:47, the Website "Le français facile" is not vintage, it may look vintage to 202x people, but it's just that it's designed like the HTML standard site around 1990/2000. No fancy and funky things which are common nowaydays. 🙂 I'vz discovered your video today and like them, good job!
I'm a junior in high-school currently and will be going to a collage in France. Though I still have many years until I book my flight, I am incredibly excited and want to start preparing now. I took Korean lessons for 2 years and I enjoyed it. The pronunciation rolled off my tongue really well, and made it satisfying to speak. It even made me think, "Well maybe language learning isn't that hard!" However I was mistaken... Though I have only just begun learning French, the pronunciation does not come easy to me at all like Korean did. The letters aren't nearly as bad though thankfully. Kind of struggling right now, wish me luck!
thank so much Dr Zoe for sharing the resources for beginner level. I skipped frech class in high school and now procastinating in my college language course. I wish there was well structured resource like this for learning Korean.
Thank you for the resources. Years ago I progressed to B1 but I haven't practiced French in years. At least now I know what resources to use to get back on track with French.
Thank you so much Zoe for your helpful video! I have been trying to learn French for 3 years but I am always in the middle of work and other commitments. Therefore, I don't feel like I am achieving much. With your structure, I feel I will have a new start on my learning journey to make things right this time! Thank you so much!
Really need to see your video for B2 and C1, I am currently transitioning to B1. I am relying mostly on reading French text right now, and watch some French vids for like 30 mins a day. Once my brain gets familiar with French, I will get an advance grammar book as side activity and but still keep reading French most of time.
Hi, I'm profoundly grateful with your video which is so detailed. I have learned French for 3 months and this video is really really useful for me. Thank you! You are such an inspiration.
My parents languages are similar to french and my whole family exept me and my siblings speak french and i want to learn! my parents use it as a secret language so I want to be able to eavesdrop. Au Revoir!
C’est assez marrant car je suis française (enseignante en élémentaire), j’écoute votre chaîne pour progresser en anglais. Merci pour votre prononciation claire et distincte 😊
Super inspirational! I've always wanted to have a conversational level of knowledge of the top languages in the world and was really impressed by your grasp of multiple languages. I studied abroad in Cairo ten years ago, where I studied colloquial Arabic but have not kept on with it. Now I'm learning french and your detailed breakdowns and study ethic really help to demystify the process of how to move from curious/beginner to gaining different levels of fluency. Thank you for sharing!
J’ai étudié le français pendant lycée, et je l’adore tellement beaucoup! Je veux étudier le français déjà, mais il y avait jusqu’à dix années depuis les leçons de lycée. Je regarde cette vidéo pour apprendre le français encore. 😊
حرفيا أنا اتعلم الفرنسية منذ شهرين لكن لا اعرف فقط Bonjour , je وبعض الكلمات 😂 قررت الاستسلام لعدم تطور مستواي في اللغة الفرنسية لكن الآن قررت ان احاول من جديد واتبع كل ما تعلمته من هذا الفيديو الرائع! اتمنى ان يصبح مستواي B1 على الأقل 🙏🏻 حظ موفق للجميع في تعلم اللغة الفرنسية!
Coucou Zoe, je peux pas imaginer combien d'efforts tu as consacré à réaliser cette video! Tes conseils sont très très utiles et motivés! J'apprends le français depuis la pandémie et mon objectif c'est d'atteindre le niveau C1la fin de cette année. Merci du fond du coeur🥰
Mon ami, est-ce que tu peux partager quelques informations ou méthodes personnelles qui t'ont aidé à avoir le niveau C1 si vite? Moi, je suis resté entre A2 et B1 depuis longtemps :cc
I am so glad to have found your channel. I’m from Turkey. I’m starting B1 in Russian and have been dreaming of speaking French for years. Thanks to your recommendations, I feel very motivated to start learning. Also my brother is in love with the Chinese language and tradition, he’s learning Mandarin and he loves your channel as well😇❤️
French is also a language I’ve been trying to learn by myself! I found TV5 Monde and got confused. Didn’t know where to start! I really felt like the lessons there are all around the place. And you’ve just confirmed it. I’ll try and start with the other website you recommended. 😄
what else helped me was watching french series. i would watched the same serious over and over again w subtitles and when i started to focus more i would take off the subtitles
I have some easy French short stories on my channel. They’re narrated in slow French so that you can improve your reading and listening skills. Happy learning!!
I really don’t know how to thank you for this great video its really help a lot and I will pay attention for every word you said. I study French and English language as a major at university and this was very helpful thank you a lot!❤️
Madame Zoe je vous dis grand remercier🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏pour tout les vidéos, merci encore🙏🙏🙏💃l’ve learnt french 33 yrs ago à l’alliance française de Kuala lumpur, je viens de Malaisie🤩but lost in touch avec ma français mais depuis 2017 l’ve catching back my passion pour la langue. I´ve subscribed all your vidéos et merci..merci beaucoup Madame🙏🙏🙏🙏
I used to be able to speak French when I was 13. I was so motivated and even convinced my parents to sign me up to a language school. The teacher who was coming to my home was so boring, honestly that forever discouraged me from learning. And I coudn’t break the contract we signed or change the tutor! The classes were so boring and only based on a coursebook. I hope to relearn it in the next 5 years. It’s a really beautiful language.
Zoe, could you make this kind of video about Arabic? It's quite hard, at least, different language, i think, so it'd be interesting to see how did you learn it!
girl i’m an arab and i really do not recommend u studying this language as it’s so darn hard even for me, the grammar and the prononciation is so hard it litteraly keeps going, i have a arabic class at school and it’s seriously hell
@@me-vd7rm i am arab too and honey you just didn't learn to love it, or maybe you didn't have good or nice teachers but the language is amazing and its so different from other languages no matter how many i learn i still think arabic holds a special place in my heart so i think its your personal experience rather then the language itself
Hi Zoe! I’ve been following your channel for a while and I love your videos! I just started learning Arabic, and I’ve been using the resources from the description box of some of your videos in Arabic. I was wondering if you could make a full video telling us how you started learning Arabic and how you study it. It would be super helpful. Thanks!!
Hello, I'm a native Arabic speaker. I just wanna say, Arabic May be a bit hard but don't give up on it so easily, I'm sure once you understand how things go you'll get the hang of it! Also, if you have any questions feel free to ask me, I'm no teacher but if I know the answer I'll tell you :D 💙
It is very impresive in my opinion that your native language is chinese and you speak french, english and other languages on such a high level 😮 for an asian person european languages are as difficult as asian languages for european l, im very proud of you and thank you for the tips ❤
I take your suggestion of not losing in navigations and focusing on useful resources per individual needs. This can be applied in all languages learning. Thank you so much Zoe.
❤merci beaucoup. I am currently learning French (with no definite purpose, just to learn a new language) and I appreciate the advices. I will try them out😀
My first French lesson was 2 weeks ago and I want to say THANK YOU SOOO MUCH! ❤ Merci beaucoup! ❤ My aim for this year to reach the beginning of B1 level!
Great video ! Little talk in slow French is podcast and a really great resource . A wide variety of Very interesting , contemporary topics spoken first slow and then “ normal “ .
i like structured video like this because i tend to be the person who strict to the rules. and this video is perfect for me. thank you for making this video, zoe. keep that good work!🔥
It would be great if one day could make a video about your day or your routine for study. I always rewatch your old videos with this topic ☺ Thank you again❤
Zoe, your video is such a blast! Thank you, truely! We have some much resources, especially for widely popular languages like french, and the irony that I personally just drown in analysis-paralysis from options. Somethime you just really want someone to give you a list and order to do it, despotic way) Thank you, you've given tools to organise myself a bit
J'utilise Busuu pour apprende le français et j'adore ça! J'apprends le français depuis presque deux mois et j'aime la méthode de l'application Busuu, avec des petites lessons."
Please can you do a video on doing an intensive programme at a languages school to get to C1 in a year, including your reflections and advice on how to structure your self-learning time, and how to avoid burnout
Bon courage à tous ceux qui veulent apprendre le français ! Elle n'est pas simple dans sa prononciation ni dans son orthographe mais, au moins, vous maîtriserez l'art du "oui oui baguette"
Thanks a lot for ur videos. I have too poor english skills, there is not a lot good guides or lesson, i started search English UA-cam and found this brilliant. I have bad English skills but a understood 95% of video❤
Thank you very much. This video is so much valuable for school student. I am school student in SL now i am doing AL .so my 3rd language is french so i want to development my french knowledge. So thank you very much.❤
French pronunciation is easy for me, I have a speech impediment and cannot pronounce r’s or consonants well. I love French for helping me feel confident
Could you please make a detailed video on Turkish ? You have never made a one . I just love your tips . It would be a cherry on top for Turkish learners ✨
Thank you very much for sharing. I visited south Belgium last week and I was fascinated with the culture, the people and with this fascinating French language. I'm starting today to learn.
Hi Zoe! I love your videos and find your language learning journey so inspiring! My father is Persian and I am trying to learn the language, so I was wondering if you could make a video on how you learned Farsi/what resources you recommend. If you are unable to make a video, any resources or tips you would be willing to share would be much appreciated! Thank you! 💕
Merci beaucoup Zoe. I have been taking course of French for A1 level but still I was very confused that how to improve my speaking but now through your resources I'll go.
I'm a French native speaker, learning English and Italian at school for a couple of years now and I've always been grateful not to have to learn French because among European languages I find it the most difficult. Good luck, bonne chance, to all of French learners.
I know I'm late to the game, but I think French is easier to learn for a German speaker, like myself. We have three genders for things and no indication to what object got what gender. A boy is masculine ("der Junge"), a woman is feminine ("die Frau"), but a girl? Neutral. It's "das Mädchen", for absolutely no reason. At least in French, most feminine words end on an e as an indication, but German doesn't have that luxury.
@Levi_is_Smol I agree with you. However, about the ending of the words not giving a clue in German, I've heard that the words that end in -ung are often feminine. Moreover, not every word ending with -e in French is feminine. For example, un trombone. 📎
Bonne présentation, J’suis personnellement satisfait de la méthodologie que tu démontres pour apprendre le Français. Langue latine et facile à apprendre car elle a des interconnexions avec l’Anglais - l’Espagnol et donc si compliquée comme le Chinois……. Bonne initiative 👍

I'm for sure not learning France but I would like say that your content for beginners in this language really awesome particularly with these different very useful things about which you're telling in this video that's just the best video for those who wanna start learning France so yeah your content as always the best for all people who learning various languages

4- Turn your phone French
5- Journal in french; write short stories maybe
6- Use AI for help. For example, I have no one around me I can practice my french speaking skills with. If you are in the same situation, you don’t want to meet strangers online, or if you are a bit shy to talk to people in french yet, you can ask Google Assistant or Siri some questions in French to get some momentum for now.

I was just wondering when Zoe would make a French guide like her recent "How to learn German?" video... and lo it's here! Couldn't be more grateful!!
💃💃💃
Zoe, thank you so much for this video. I've been study french for several years but I haven't been really consistent with my study, and this video is really motivating. I'm going to look the resources you mentioned.
I want to visit both France and Canada someday, so I need to start learning French (I know Canadian French is different from native French, but gotta start somewhere ya know). This video came out at exactly the perfect time for me to start learning. Thank you so much for these resources!
Good timing !
French-Canadian here! Canadian French is not that different from European French, it's mostly the accent and the colloquial expressions/slang that widely differ. Starting with standard French/French from France is a great idea, eventually you can just start to incorporate French-Canadian audios in your language journey and you'll be good to go!
When kids learn French in Canada it's standard French.
@ You Tube has a few. Quebec French description videos.
There are also
Overseas parts of France, in the Caribbean
Gouadeloupe, Martinique
& French Guyanese,
in Pacific there are Tahiti & New Caledonia.
There are also many N W & Central African ex(?colonies.
You Tube has at least 1 video of Francophone
communities around the world, like S of Louisiana
& many obscure towns in other states, Pondicheri & 1 other town in India, etc.
W Hemisphere details
US Louisiana French speakers include
Cajuns
Creoles (? linguists speak of a different language)
Homa, etc. Indigenous peoples
Canada--Métis ethnicitypart French & part Indigenous.
Bonne chance!!!
I'm a french native, electronics and computer nerds , at 8:47, the Website "Le français facile" is not vintage, it may look vintage to 202x people, but it's just that it's designed like the HTML standard site around 1990/2000. No fancy and funky things which are common nowaydays. 🙂
I'vz discovered your video today and like them, good job!
I'm a junior in high-school currently and will be going to a collage in France. Though I still have many years until I book my flight, I am incredibly excited and want to start preparing now. I took Korean lessons for 2 years and I enjoyed it. The pronunciation rolled off my tongue really well, and made it satisfying to speak. It even made me think, "Well maybe language learning isn't that hard!" However I was mistaken... Though I have only just begun learning French, the pronunciation does not come easy to me at all like Korean did. The letters aren't nearly as bad though thankfully. Kind of struggling right now, wish me luck!
thank so much Dr Zoe for sharing the resources for beginner level. I skipped frech class in high school and now procastinating in my college language course. I wish there was well structured resource like this for learning Korean.
Thank you for the resources. Years ago I progressed to B1 but I haven't practiced French in years. At least now I know what resources to use to get back on track with French.
💪💪💪
Thank you so much Zoe for your helpful video! I have been trying to learn French for 3 years but I am always in the middle of work and other commitments. Therefore, I don't feel like I am achieving much. With your structure, I feel I will have a new start on my learning journey to make things right this time! Thank you so much!
Respect to all of you learning french !! Bonne conjugaison
Really need to see your video for B2 and C1, I am currently transitioning to B1. I am relying mostly on reading French text right now, and watch some French vids for like 30 mins a day. Once my brain gets familiar with French, I will get an advance grammar book as side activity and but still keep reading French most of time.
Wait for the next video 😉a lot to share
Hi, I'm profoundly grateful with your video which is so detailed. I have learned French for 3 months and this video is really really useful for me. Thank you! You are such an inspiration.
My parents languages are similar to french and my whole family exept me and my siblings speak french and i want to learn! my parents use it as a secret language so I want to be able to eavesdrop. Au Revoir!
Hahahaha bon courage
I love the way she broke it down.... thanks so much ☺️
C’est assez marrant car je suis française (enseignante en élémentaire), j’écoute votre chaîne pour progresser en anglais. Merci pour votre prononciation claire et distincte 😊
Moi aussi 😂
Super inspirational! I've always wanted to have a conversational level of knowledge of the top languages in the world and was really impressed by your grasp of multiple languages. I studied abroad in Cairo ten years ago, where I studied colloquial Arabic but have not kept on with it. Now I'm learning french and your detailed breakdowns and study ethic really help to demystify the process of how to move from curious/beginner to gaining different levels of fluency. Thank you for sharing!
I am so glad 🥰
For anyone who comes across this video. I also recommend News in slow french. The amount of vocabulary is sooo good.
I am French and very flattered to see that foreigners are so interested in this language
I really really want to learn French but im preparing for university entrance exam so i dont have that time recently but i definitely will in summer
@@thebislan Good luck bro
J’ai étudié le français pendant lycée, et je l’adore tellement beaucoup! Je veux étudier le français déjà, mais il y avait jusqu’à dix années depuis les leçons de lycée. Je regarde cette vidéo pour apprendre le français encore. 😊
حرفيا أنا اتعلم الفرنسية منذ شهرين لكن لا اعرف فقط Bonjour , je وبعض الكلمات 😂 قررت الاستسلام لعدم تطور مستواي في اللغة الفرنسية لكن الآن قررت ان احاول من جديد واتبع كل ما تعلمته من هذا الفيديو الرائع! اتمنى ان يصبح مستواي B1 على الأقل 🙏🏻 حظ موفق للجميع في تعلم اللغة الفرنسية!
واو في عام 2024 يالها من صدفة انا ايضا بدات تعلم اللغة الفرنسية وجدت نفسي ملزمة على ذلك
@@Angelangel001بليييز محتاجة صديقة تتكلم فرنسي معي عندك انستغرااام ؟
لماذا ملزمة على تعلمها هل تخصصك اللغة الفرنسية ؟@@Angelangel001
وانا بدات تعلم الفرنسية منذ شهر مضى
Coucou Zoe, je peux pas imaginer combien d'efforts tu as consacré à réaliser cette video! Tes conseils sont très très utiles et motivés! J'apprends le français depuis la pandémie et mon objectif c'est d'atteindre le niveau C1la fin de cette année. Merci du fond du coeur🥰
Bravo！Bon courage!
Excellent ! 😀
Mon ami, est-ce que tu peux partager quelques informations ou méthodes personnelles qui t'ont aidé à avoir le niveau C1 si vite? Moi, je suis resté entre A2 et B1 depuis longtemps :cc
Ouah tu as déjà un très bon niveau ! Bravo ! (de la part d'un français)
Can u tell us what is ur method of learning merci d'avant
I am so glad to have found your channel. I’m from Turkey. I’m starting B1 in Russian and have been dreaming of speaking French for years. Thanks to your recommendations, I feel very motivated to start learning. Also my brother is in love with the Chinese language and tradition, he’s learning Mandarin and he loves your channel as well😇❤️
French is also a language I’ve been trying to learn by myself! I found TV5 Monde and got confused. Didn’t know where to start! I really felt like the lessons there are all around the place. And you’ve just confirmed it. I’ll try and start with the other website you recommended. 😄
Use it at A2 level
what else helped me was watching french series. i would watched the same serious over and over again w subtitles and when i started to focus more i would take off the subtitles
I have some easy French short stories on my channel. They’re narrated in slow French so that you can improve your reading and listening skills. Happy learning!!
I really don’t know how to thank you for this great video its really help a lot and I will pay attention for every word you said.
I study French and English language as a major at university and this was very helpful thank you a lot!❤️
Happy to help!
Madame Zoe je vous dis grand remercier🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏pour tout les vidéos, merci encore🙏🙏🙏💃l’ve learnt french 33 yrs ago à l’alliance française de Kuala lumpur, je viens de Malaisie🤩but lost in touch avec ma français mais depuis 2017 l’ve catching back my passion pour la langue. I´ve subscribed all your vidéos et merci..merci beaucoup Madame🙏🙏🙏🙏
I've been studying French for about 6 months and this video was still useful for me
I used to be able to speak French when I was 13. I was so motivated and even convinced my parents to sign me up to a language school. The teacher who was coming to my home was so boring, honestly that forever discouraged me from learning. And I coudn’t break the contract we signed or change the tutor! The classes were so boring and only based on a coursebook. I hope to relearn it in the next 5 years. It’s a really beautiful language.
Zoe, could you make this kind of video about Arabic? It's quite hard, at least, different language, i think, so it'd be interesting to see how did you learn it!
On the schedule
girl i’m an arab and i really do not recommend u studying this language as it’s so darn hard even for me, the grammar and the prononciation is so hard it litteraly keeps going, i have a arabic class at school and it’s seriously hell
heads up, the arabic video is up, just finish watching it.
@@me-vd7rm i am arab too and honey you just didn't learn to love it, or maybe you didn't have good or nice teachers but the language is amazing and its so different from other languages no matter how many i learn i still think arabic holds a special place in my heart so i think its your personal experience rather then the language itself
@@zoe.languages Nice thank u. We all wait it
That video is literally BEST roadmap video for French. You are so great person! Like i am really impressed.. Have a nice day, et Merci beaucoup!!!
Hi Zoe! I’ve been following your channel for a while and I love your videos! I just started learning Arabic, and I’ve been using the resources from the description box of some of your videos in Arabic. I was wondering if you could make a full video telling us how you started learning Arabic and how you study it. It would be super helpful. Thanks!!
Hello, I'm a native Arabic speaker. I just wanna say, Arabic May be a bit hard but don't give up on it so easily, I'm sure once you understand how things go you'll get the hang of it! Also, if you have any questions feel free to ask me, I'm no teacher but if I know the answer I'll tell you :D 💙
Hey
I'm an Arab and i could help you learning Arabic! 🎉❤
It is very impresive in my opinion that your native language is chinese and you speak french, english and other languages on such a high level 😮 for an asian person european languages are as difficult as asian languages for european l, im very proud of you and thank you for the tips ❤
I've been studying french for 12 years but in my opinion it's easy If u wanna learn it
thank u so much zoe
I'm from Brazil and speak portuguese! Your channel is incredible!
Thank from Brazil ✨️🇧🇷
i trying to speak a purtgale an brazil lang but its harddd for this i going to france 😢
I'm glad I ran to this video as I started learning French a couple of days ago. My mother language is Serbian and French is completely different.
I take your suggestion of not losing in navigations and focusing on useful resources per individual needs. This can be applied in all languages learning. Thank you so much Zoe.
❤merci beaucoup. I am currently learning French (with no definite purpose, just to learn a new language) and I appreciate the advices. I will try them out😀
My first French lesson was 2 weeks ago and I want to say THANK YOU SOOO MUCH! ❤
Merci beaucoup! ❤
My aim for this year to reach the beginning of B1 level!
💪💪💪bon courage !
Great video ! Little talk in slow French is podcast and a really great resource . A wide variety of Very interesting , contemporary topics spoken first slow and then “ normal “ .
i like structured video like this because i tend to be the person who strict to the rules. and this video is perfect for me. thank you for making this video, zoe. keep that good work!🔥
我正在博树app学法语，刷到这个视频，又看了阿拉伯语那期，博主简直是个语言天才
It would be great if one day could make a video about your day or your routine for study. I always rewatch your old videos with this topic ☺ Thank you again❤
Good idea
Yes I love those videos
Zoe Languages is the definition of over qualified, thank you for everything you do!
Zoe, your video is such a blast! Thank you, truely! We have some much resources, especially for widely popular languages like french, and the irony that I personally just drown in analysis-paralysis from options. Somethime you just really want someone to give you a list and order to do it, despotic way) Thank you, you've given tools to organise myself a bit
Glad it was helpful!
Français avec pierre is so good I really recommend it
Yes, so far I took his 2 classes. Next I will take a pronunciation class.
The way this girl helps me with all my languages is crazy, love your videos, keep it up ❤️🔥
J'utilise Busuu pour apprende le français et j'adore ça! J'apprends le français depuis presque deux mois et j'aime la méthode de l'application Busuu, avec des petites lessons."
Please can you do a video on doing an intensive programme at a languages school to get to C1 in a year, including your reflections and advice on how to structure your self-learning time, and how to avoid burnout
Bon courage à tous ceux qui veulent apprendre le français ! Elle n'est pas simple dans sa prononciation ni dans son orthographe mais, au moins, vous maîtriserez l'art du "oui oui baguette"
You saved my life!! Love you❤❤❤❤
Thanks a lot for ur videos. I have too poor english skills, there is not a lot good guides or lesson, i started search English UA-cam and found this brilliant. I have bad English skills but a understood 95% of video❤
It was a GREAT video Zoe 😍 Thanks a lot ❤ I missed you. I hope you're doing well and youre studies also going well ❤
Thank you very much. This video is so much valuable for school student. I am school student in SL now i am doing AL .so my 3rd language is french so i want to development my french knowledge. So thank you very much.❤
Being waiting for this one! Thank you! 🎉❤
French pronunciation is easy for me, I have a speech impediment and cannot pronounce r’s or consonants well. I love French for helping me feel confident
I really love learning French. Merci beaucoup pour d'avoir cette video(sorry for my bad French)
Sen her yerdesin gerçekten
Could you please make a detailed video on Turkish ? You have never made a one . I just love your tips . It would be a cherry on top for Turkish learners ✨
Amazing video as always. Thanks a lot for your efforts Zoe. I am looking forward to watching the second part. Greetings and support from Spain 🌹🤗🇪🇦
☺️☺️☺️
Thank you very much for sharing. I visited south Belgium last week and I was fascinated with the culture, the people and with this fascinating French language. I'm starting today to learn.
French for me (for most Algerian people) is easy 😄 if you know the history of Algeria you know why. We're bilingual by nature
Right
Hah
انا من جزاير و راني حاصة معاها 😭💔
انا احب محتواك جدا ويميزه انه علمي وبطريقة سلسلة ومبدعة . اقترح عليكي عمل فيديو للغة الروسية ايضا 🥰
Learn French with Alexa is perfect
I fully agree with you 💯
I have been studying French for 1 year now but I wanted more resources material thanks for this video
Hi Zoe! I love your videos and find your language learning journey so inspiring! My father is Persian and I am trying to learn the language, so I was wondering if you could make a video on how you learned Farsi/what resources you recommend. If you are unable to make a video, any resources or tips you would be willing to share would be much appreciated! Thank you! 💕
You can already check out the community post for the Persian learning resource. I will make a video about it in the future

مم بت یاد می دم ججو، بیا بغلم کن🐻
Merci beaucoup Zoe. I have been taking course of French for A1 level but still I was very confused that how to improve my speaking but now through your resources I'll go.
Bonjour ! J’adore vraiment vos vidéos! Si possible pourriez-vous faire la même type de vidéo pour l’anglais ?
Oui ! C'est déjà au programme ☺️
learning french this year is one of my goals this year and improving my english
I'm a French native speaker, learning English and Italian at school for a couple of years now and I've always been grateful not to have to learn French because among European languages I find it the most difficult.
Good luck, bonne chance, to all of French learners.
try to learn polish 🤣
@@hanswaltz Well I saw a TikTok about that the other day and... Yeah, guess it's even more difficult. 😅
Good luck, courage again. 🙂
❤️
I know I'm late to the game, but I think French is easier to learn for a German speaker, like myself. We have three genders for things and no indication to what object got what gender. A boy is masculine ("der Junge"), a woman is feminine ("die Frau"), but a girl? Neutral. It's "das Mädchen", for absolutely no reason. At least in French, most feminine words end on an e as an indication, but German doesn't have that luxury.
@Levi_is_Smol I agree with you. However, about the ending of the words not giving a clue in German, I've heard that the words that end in -ung are often feminine. Moreover, not every word ending with -e in French is feminine. For example, un trombone. 📎
definitely i will use this video to conduct me into the level B1, as i have a plan to try learning french by self-taught as much as i can❤
I love the video Zoe! Are you going to do one for Arabic? I’d love to hear your tips & suggestions. 💜
Will do 😉
The best guide is a diverse and unbiased one. Thank you for providing a variety of resources, they are really great!
Bonne présentation, J’suis personnellement satisfait de la méthodologie que tu démontres pour apprendre le Français. Langue latine et facile à apprendre car elle a des interconnexions avec l’Anglais - l’Espagnol et donc si compliquée comme le Chinois…….
Bonne initiative 👍
Thanks for the video! im brazilian, and have no idea how I learned english tbh. This video is going to help me a lot!
You have given us so much information that we have to start studying. thank you ❤
Hello there. I'm an Indian here. I don't know how to thanl you. Like than you so much for real. For real. It's really great. I don't what to say anything else. You've provided with expensive knowledge here ❤

@@RashaAljamil Hey Sarah, what's your native language, and which language are you looking to practice?
I live now in Germany and study German and English. and I want to learn French in the future. But I'm watching this video because I think it's not such a bad idea to start learning basic French 😄
Hi Zoe, your videos are wonderful and I love the resources that you provide for learning French. It is not an easy language and it isn't helping me immensely. I understand you aren't learning Korean, but I was wondering if you heard of good Korean resources to for beginnings that want to reach A1-B1 level?
This video was definitely helpful for my language study efforts. It helped me think of what I am doing right as well as what I might be doing wrong.
Both websites are very difficult for beginners to navigate. It was a daunting site to see.
Hello dear teacher
Thank you so much for your interesting information about English,i do appreciate your job.I wish you peace and happness under the sky of prosperity. Take care and have a good time
All the best.
Your Student from Algeria.
Damn, I'm native russian and I have learned english to the level when i watch almost everything in english and probably could speak fluently (i talk to myself ō_õ) and now I want to learn french. Well, I'm waiting to do that for 1-2 years, but I just cant make myself start, hope this helps...
I'm for sure not learning France but I would like say that your content for beginners in this language really awesome particularly with these different very useful things about which you're telling in this video that's just the best video for those who wanna start learning France so yeah your content as always the best for all people who learning various languages
I'm a beginner learning french and I watch Miracoulous Lady bug in french but they speak too fast 🤣 thanks for your information 🤗
I’d like to study French by myself, and your videos are very very useful for me, thank you so much
