    In this case, Spanish is easier than English and French
    English: in, on, at
    French: en, dans, à, chez
    Spanish: en

      Grace Njoku Je suis chez Mario = I'm in Mario's house. Estoy en la casa de Mario. It doesn't mean home. It means 's house. Or in Spanish en casa de. EN casa de. That's why I included it

    Sounds like "dans" translates better as "I will leave for the office within 20 minutes." or "I am inside the house.", "The cat is inside the box." --Beginner French

    This work is so helpful. I think that if people keep recording language lessons like this, setting an access to it available for beginners across the globe,it'll ever bring miraclous results, you know.. At least that's what i believe. She's also a good english accent, and speaks slowly as all decent teachers should do, so that people can learn in a easier way. It's even better when we have to study both two languages spoken here. Then, thanks.

  • @ogeidnomar4601
    @ogeidnomar4601 5 років тому +31

    I love the complexity that the French language has. In my opinion it is one of the more innovative languages from the Romance family. From the ne.. pas..., to the specific nuances of dans/en or the partitive articles, liaisons, elisions. The unique Pronouns Y and En that have no immediate parallels in other Romance languages to my knowledge.

    Merci pour ce lecon Alexa. I have been struggling with the word IN for a long time, Now I know that EN is used when you want to say things like, in time, or in transit, or in love. Whereas DANS is used when you are talking about actually INSIDE something, like an airplane or a shop, or in your house. Have I got this right?

    Bonjour madame! J'aime beaucoup votre leçons ! For those who speak Spanish this is actually easy, cause we have to think only our Spanish equivalent "dentro de" and then we'll see the difference between them. "Yo iré a trabajar DENTRO DE 20 minutos" "Los niños juegan DENTRO DEL jardín" and so on. Bisou bisou!

    Bonjour Alexa! Many thanks for this video, it has helped clear up a lot of my confusion about ‘en’ and ‘dans’. I have a question though. In a previous video (DEPUIS or PENDANT? How to say SINCE and FOR in French), you used the sentence “Hélène habite à Paris depuis 2005.” I’m wondering, would it be correct to say “Hélène habite EN Paris depuis 2005.”? If not, could you please explain why “à” is required in that sentence? Merci beaucoup!

    • @learnfrenchwithalexa
      @learnfrenchwithalexa  6 років тому +10
