@jimthelizardking That's a good question. There is no short answer to that one. I encourage you to sign up for the weekly lessons on our site to learn the conjugation of French verbs. There are 3 different groups of verbs in French and each one behaves differently. A lot of the consonants at the end of the verbs like the "s" are silent. Same thing with the "ent" with ils and elles, it is pronounced as the French "e".

After taking my first year of Latin, going back to French is like heaven. I plan on becoming fluent or at least able to hold a decent conversation. This is going to help. Thank you verrryy much :)

Merci Jef !! I love the way you explain the classes. I am Mexican and living in Canada and I star to learn french with the help of your videos. I didnt have any clue about the lenguage until now. Thanks a lot !!

other french lessons on youtube aren't very helpful but im acutally learning a lot from these lessons. This man is a wonderful teacher :3

@CraZayTube It's actually : On te aime >>>>> On t'aime. Le te is contracted to t'. That's because aime starts with a vowel, so we drop the e to avoid two vowel sounds following each other. Te is actually you in English as in "we love you". To say "you love", we use tu... tu aimes. I hope this helps. :)

@TahtahCutie52 In the case of the ai of tu aimes, the 2 vowels together make a different sound than the regular french a or i on their own. They are merged together to form a new sound. It 's different than 2 separate words, one ending with a vowel sound and the other starting with a vowel sound. In that case each vowel sound has to be pronounced separately. This forces us to make a pause between the 2. This is why the e of je disappears in J'aime so that we only have one vowel sound left

I love speaking French man, wish I knew everything!!

I have french when school begins. I'm watching these videos so i'll know a little and be ahead of everyone in the class. :)

Je ne suis que douze ans et je peux parler très bien le français. Je vis en France, et je peux aussi parler en anglais aussi! Je suis en huitième année et je suis presque en plein lycée! Ce sera ma première année, mais nous allons étudier l'anglais et je suis très excité! Voici la version anglaise: (Here is the English version!) I am only twelve and i can speak French very well. I live in France, and I can also speak in English too! I am in eighth grade and I am almost in full high school! It will be my first year, but we will study English language and I am very excited! XD

I am brazilian and I this video is exactly what i wanted to learn french as I intend to go to Paris next year. Thank you so much for posting this videos.

This is awesome. I've always been very interested in the French language, but never did anything about it. In school, I always did Spanish classes, but wish I would've done French instead. This is very helpful, and very easy to understand compared to anything else I've tried to use. I love this language and hope to learn more about it. I'm starting college in the fall, and plan to take a French class. Glad I found this, since it will help me to be more prepared. Thank you for posting.

@cheeelsey Tu is used when addressing one person, no matter the gender of that person. Vous is used to address a group of people. It is also used in a formal conversation with one person when you don't know them well enough to use "tu". Please visit our site for more detailed videos on that topic.

I'm jealous of this teacher's excellent bilingual skills, even though he makes the lesson effective and fun.

I speak english and spanish quite well....Now i want to learn french, people say that for the ones who speak spanish is easier to learn french, "we´ll see.."" thank you for the video.!! it was really good!

I love how the first verbs you teach are "to eat" and "to love." lol. How very french! XD And yeah, for people just using these lessons, both his French and English are flawless which is an extremely rare quality in people teaching this language.

I learnt more from this video than the three years of French at school.

This is the best lessons of French thanks xxxxxx

Yes it's the reflexive form and the s' means each other.

love it !! I speak portuguese, but French has always been my language of interest. This lesson spark me even more the interest to learn it. Thanks !!

@LuluHeeNim Use "vous" in a formal setting. Use "tu" with your friends and family. Use "vous" when addressing more than 1 person.

Thanks for the video your a good teacher and it's easy to comprehend and understand.

sweet and probably the best french learning video

@Silverslayerr The s is silent unless the verb following starts with a vowel. In that case we make a "liaison" and pronounce the s as a z.

this is very helpful, thank you for posting this video.

I dropped out of my second year of French in high school because the teacher I had retired and the new one was from cote de ivoire and had an imposable to understand African accent I like this guy's accent better

Fantastic lesson, sir. Very clear, very easy to follow. A+ sir.

To keep the same sound, we add the e otherwise it sounds like the g in guy

Thank you! Love your lessons. Merci ;)

Thank you, I started learning French for my love in Paris.

Im fluent in Spanish, Portgues (I live in Brazil), Italian, English and I know a bit of Latin. Cant wait to know French, this way i'll know almost all latin languages =]

Merci!

Gracias por la leccion.

Great lesson! Thanks!

MERCI FOR THIS AWESOME LESSEN!!!

I loved the French class it was very clear and easy to follow you are a very good teacher:) Thank you for posting this video:)

Great lesson :D gonna keep studying to become fluent in french with the help of this great teacher \0/ Ps: i dont see a difference between the pronounce of "il, ils and elle,elles " could you please explain how can i notice the difference between the pronounciation of this?

Merci for such a helpful lesson!

@henryv2005 Another good way to think about ON is taking the example of British English where the word, "one" is used in the third person. Examples: "One should use caution." "One celebrates a 40th birthday in style." etc. It is not often used this way in American or Canadian English, but I think the French, "On" is used in this way. "One eats!" is roughly "Let's eat!"

i definetely adore French!!I've started to learn it too.Good job,keep it!

Thank you very much for the great teaching method, I hope you post more and more videos to help us learning.

Really good ! Thank you ! George , Romania !

C'est un grand merci beaucoup pour cette de Michael en Angleterre. Au revoir

@1redbully1 The ' (apostrophe) is used when you have two vowels (jE Aime => J'aime, jE Apprends => J'apprends, etc.). It makes the pronounciation more flowing.

J'aime beaucoup regarder se genre de vidéo même si je suis déjà français ^^

Most beautiful language on the planet.

@henryv2005 On can mean "we" or "let's" as in "let's eat" . When saying we, you can use on or nous. French people actually use on more than nous in everyday conversations. The verb is then conjugated the same way as with he or she.

This guy speak very well in french and in english.

Excellent, thanks!

tu means you referring to ONE person ex.: you are a wonderful person tu es une personne formidable vous is for a group or in tu in a formal form (elders, professors, doctors, people you don't know) vous m'avez vraiment impressioné! You have amazed me!

yay Now I know how to say I love you to my friend (not in a relationship way, but because we are such good friends)

Thanks so much man! Je t'aime bien

there is : in the first you'll hear a "s", in the second you'll hear a z. the z is because you will link the words together and the z implies a plural form used. the s in the former is clearly pronounced to indicate the possessive "s"

merci, for this video... really helped me a lot!

it's a grea t lesson!very good one! thank you sooooo much!

Meric! This video helpped me I hate French class so next year, it's lattin for moi!

@myxamhatosis The S is silent unless it is followed by a vowel. In that case, we make the "liaison" and pronounce it as Z.

Thank you for uploading this is an easy way !!!!!

Hey! I'm new to French but I have been learning spanish for 2 years and I already know to conjugate verbs and I already understood you. I think spoken French might be easier than spoken spanish.

Languages are always fun; though, they give me a bit of a headache. The only way I can describe it is being conscious of my neurons rearranging themselves and misfiring as they try to process these new signals and get them aligned with the pathways used for English. Anyway, fun video. Looking forward to learning French.

Everything is tough before it gets easy!thankyou for this wonderful start...will surely visit your website...

Fantastic video! you're a great teacher! I will recomend this to some of my friends that want to learn french :)

monsieur you are really a good teacher

Your English accent is pretty clear and understandable. I don't understand any of those other french lesson videos because of their horrible accents.

Great videos... Thank you for making them....

Good lessons! Really impressive

great teacher!!!!!

Oh I love this!

I'm french and this lessons is very good for the english :)

Merci! C'est super :)

@LShouldnotDie DU is what's called a partitive article. It's the equivalent of "some". It can be translated by: I eat fish or I eat some fish. UN and UNE are the equivalent of the article "a" in English. I eat a salad. For more in depth lessons, please visit our site.

@bballJR1996 Tu is used when addressing one person. Vous is used when addressing a group of people. Vous is also used in a formal conversation when talking to a person in a position of authority, someone you just met or a business relation.

Yay!!!! SOOOO happy! I'm going to Paris in a month haha

I'm s portuguese speaker, who also speaks english fluently. I can understand almos everything in spanish and talk a little bit. Now I'm planning to learn a little of french. You help us a lot! But I'm still screwed, this language sounds difficult.

Tres bien, merci beaucoup

Very helpful.

J'aime this! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us :)

Cette vidéo est la meilleure !!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is very helpful :) I'v been learning french for 2 years and i am so in love with it

AWESOME!!! THANKS X 100 !!

Dear Sir, You are a good teacher. I like it.

This was good, easy to understand. I'm def subscribing :-)

im starting french, so merci buku

@TheSitHamster You sir, are correct. Proud to speak a latin based language as I'm a native spanish speaker. I'm already fluent in Portuguese and looking at French looks like an open runway as I shouldn't encounter any turbulence as it's very similar. For example "tu" is also used in spanish to describe you and so is "vous," although, we spell it different "vos" or "vosotro" but same context. Au revoir mon ami!

such a great video!!!!!!

@97Latta You are not required to put the accents on capital letters in French. It is optional. Because French typewriters did not allow the accents on capital letters, their use was abandoned. Now with computers, they are again available. So it is optional. I never use them.

sounds like Orson Welles :) This is very very good easy to listen to and to follow. i am english and need to learn some french quick because i am going to work in St Raphael in the south of france on 23rd march,so if anyone can help me learn i would be grateful. thankyou

@RacbecSkywalker "mangent" is the plural form as you know. The "nt" at the end is silent. That's why you cannot hear the difference.

votre class, c'est bien! je suis coreenne et je voudrais amelioer mon francais. merci beaucoup

Awesome!

Merci beaucoup!!

thanks so much , i learn lot

C'est magnifique! J'aime etudier français

cool thank you jefrench

merci

Merci

Useful for my french at school!!!!! 5/5

"On" in the meaning of "us/we" is when you're looking at that group from within - when you're actually within the group. For example, you could say "On a faim" = "We are (all) hungry". "Nous", however, is "us/we" when you're looking at the group from an outside point of view. For example : "Nous sommes là = we are there" (when in a restaurant etc.)... I'm not a native but I think sometimes they can be interchangeable!

Need to learn some french! I'm joining the foreign legion and it would be alot easier if i already knew some basic french :-)

thanks very much teacher I love french

Very good :) this will be my 3rd language
