True spoken French: These 10 speech patterns that will make you sound French

When I start understanding spoken French without stress would be the day.

My husband is French and he can make whole sentences using these sounds and then say ‘voila’!

My mother came to England in 1951 and when I was little in the late 60's she spoke many words in french to me. I noticed she would say 'un petite peu' as 'um ti peu' or thats what it sounded like to me. English people would say un peit peu with strong accent pronouncing all the vowels. I already picked up on the difference.

Merci. Personellement je trouverais ces videos plus utile s'il y avait plus de francais et moins d'anglais. C'est mieux pour apprendre la langue je trouve. C'est toujours possible d'ajouter des sous-titres optionnel pour des gens qui a besoin s'ils trouvaient qu'il y a "trop" de francais.

Merci beaucoup, madame. J'étais à la recherche de cette vidéo depuis une semaine.

Subscribed. May i ask if you could leave the french subtitles 1-2 seconds longer on the screen so that i dont have to stop the video all the time? Merci.

I lived in Paris for months in a French household and recognised each of these! Thanks so much for this super interesting and helpful video. Subscribed!

Thank you for this lesson! In English, when one says "kinda," or "sorta," or other slurred words, they are not speaking "Standard English." They are using the vernacular ... but there are some English-speakers here in the States that still say, "kind of" and "sort of," enunciating clearly. "Standard English" is supposed to be taught at school, but my personal and professional observation (I was a public school teacher) is that most teachers do not recognize that they are slurring their words. That's why so many people say and also write, "should OF" instead of "should HAVE," for example. They don't teach standard English because they don't know it. Dialects and jargon are now considered mainstream. The population is diverse, and so different dialects and cant (specialized language) become normalized, especially with TV and Internet spreading the trends. And, people prefer to appear "cool" rather than educated. It's particularly amusing to me, as I would have thought that specialized language (cant) would have been kept for use within the original communities. Now we have Urban Dictionary and online acronym lists to decipher these words, to facilitate public understanding. It's like text abbreviations used by teens to hide meaning from their parents ... but now one can simply consult the internet to learn the meaning.

Merci bien for the video, you are really underrated, the post-production is really on point and funny

Baaaaaaah...euuuuh...ouais, c'est une vidéo chouette, hein 😉😁

I have lived in France 6 years - most people I have encountered except teenagers, use “oui”.

You are a superb teacher! Delightful to watch, Merci

this is such a helpful and well-made video, thank you! :)

I really love that you explain the context of use for each term thoroughly and even demonstrate how not to say something harshly (the "bah" example). I'm not sure if any other channel does this. So, thank you for being thorough!

Lovely video, thanks❤️

Leclairage est vraiment sympa, on sent vraiment la monte en gamme des videos!

So here in Vaud, we hear “geniale” and “genre” all the time used as often as “like” in English

Un trésor de video ❤

Ouah ! Je viens vous découvrir. Cool ! Je me suis maintenant abonné et je ferai de vos vidéos une part de mes devoirs quotidiens. Ces leçons sont exactement ce que j’avais manqué.

Merciii
